Wholesale sales in Canada witnessed a surprising decline in November 2025, dropping by 1.8%, according to the latest data released on January 15, 2026. This sharp reversal comes after the previous month saw marginal growth, with sales increasing by just 0.1% in October 2025.
The month-over-month comparison showcases a stark contrast in economic activity, with the current indicator reflecting a significant decrease compared to the modest uptick witnessed in October. Analysts and market watchers are now assessing the impact of this downturn and its potential implications for the Canadian economy moving forward.
The wholesale sector, instrumental in bridging manufacturers and retailers, plays a pivotal role in economic health. As experts scrutinize these figures, questions are being raised regarding the underlying causes and whether this decline signals broader economic challenges or is merely a temporary fluctuation. Stakeholders are keenly awaiting further analysis and upcoming data to ascertain the trajectory of Canada's wholesale market.
