Germany’s retail sales rose 1.1% month-on-month in May 2026, rebounding from a revised 0.4% decline in April and defying market expectations of a 0.1% decrease. This was the first monthly increase since December, indicating that consumer spending has regained some momentum despite ongoing economic uncertainty. The improvement was broad-based, with food sales up 1.1% and non-food sales increasing 1.0%. Online and mail-order trade surged 3.4%, underscoring resilient demand in e-commerce channels. On a year-on-year basis, retail sales grew 1.8%, reversing a revised 0.6% drop in April and marking the strongest annual increase in five months.
