2026.05.2512:30:00UTC+00Canada’s Wholesale Sales Growth Nearly Stalls in April, Slipping to 0.1% MoM

Canada’s wholesale sector saw a sharp loss of momentum in April 2026, as sales growth slowed to just 0.1% month-over-month, down from a revised 1.9% increase in March 2026. The latest data, updated on 25 May 2026, point to a near standstill in activity after a strong prior month.

On a month-over-month basis, April’s figure indicates that wholesale sales were essentially flat compared to March, when the sector had posted robust gains versus February. The comparison underscores a clear deceleration in the pace of growth, suggesting that underlying demand in the wholesale trade sector may be cooling after a brief upswing.

Market participants and analysts will be watching upcoming releases closely to see whether April marks the start of a softer trend in wholesale activity, or simply a temporary pause following March’s strong performance.
