U.S. wholesale trade sales continued to rise in March 2026, with the indicator ticking up to 2.8% month-over-month, slightly above February’s 2.7% gain. The data, updated on 8 May 2026, point to a modest but sustained pace of growth in the wholesale sector.
The March figure reflects a comparison of sales growth against February 2026, while the prior 2.7% reading measured February’s performance against January. Taken together, the back-to-back monthly increases suggest underlying demand in the wholesale channel remains resilient, with no visible loss of momentum between February and March on a month-over-month basis.
