After experiencing a decline in April 2025, Mexico's retail sector has bounced back with a robust recovery in May 2025. The latest figures, updated on July 22, 2025, reveal that retail sales increased by 1.8% compared to the previous month, marking a significant turnaround from the -1.0% contraction witnessed in April.
This positive swing in consumer spending represents a month-over-month comparison. The recovery comes as a relief to retailers and market analysts alike, who were concerned about the downward trend in April. The Mexican economy's improved retail performance may reflect consumers' renewed confidence and increased spending power as they navigate through the post-pandemic landscape.
The rebound aligns with broader economic efforts to boost consumer activity and sustain growth. As the retail sector is a critical component of Mexico's economy, these figures could signal further economic stabilization and a continuation of positive trends in the near future. Stakeholders will be closely monitoring subsequent data to ensure the momentum is maintained.
