2026.01.1300:01:00UTC+00UK Retail Sales Growth Slows in December, BRC Reports

The British Retail Consortium (BRC) Retail Sales Monitor has revealed a deceleration in retail sales growth in the United Kingdom for December 2025. As updated on January 13, 2026, the retail sales growth rate has settled at 1.0%, marking a slight decrease from the 1.2% experienced in November 2025.

In a year-over-year comparison, the deceleration in growth indicates a persistent challenge for retailers amid shifting consumer behaviors and ongoing economic uncertainties. The December figure reflects the changes in retail sales compared to the same month last year, showcasing a marginal downturn as the country continues to navigate through broader economic conditions.

The data, reflecting the holiday shopping period, will be carefully scrutinized by industry analysts and economists as they assess the implications for the UK's retail sector in the upcoming months. Stakeholders will be keen to understand underlying factors contributing to this trend and anticipate potential impacts on future consumer spending patterns.
