Colombia’s retail sector closed 2025 on a strong note, with year-over-year retail sales growth accelerating to 11.0% in December, up from 7.5% in November 2025. The latest data, updated on 13 February 2026, indicate a solid strengthening in consumer activity during the final month of the year.
Both the current and previous indicators reflect year-over-year comparisons, measuring December and November 2025 retail sales against the same months a year earlier. The jump from 7.5% to 11.0% suggests a notable pickup in demand at the end of 2025, potentially reflecting robust holiday spending and improving consumer confidence.
The December reading consolidates a positive trend in Colombia’s retail landscape, with the sector entering 2026 on firmer ground after a marked acceleration in annual sales growth at year-end.
