Denmark’s retail sector posted a strong upswing in March 2026, with retail sales rising 7.1% year-over-year, according to data updated on 24 April 2026. This marks a sharp acceleration from February 2026, when sales were up 2.2% compared with the same month a year earlier.
The figures are based on a year-over-year comparison, with the current reading reflecting the change in March 2026 relative to March 2025. The previous reading similarly compared February 2026 with February 2025. The jump from 2.2% to 7.1% suggests a notable strengthening in consumer spending momentum in Denmark as the first quarter of 2026 drew to a close.
