2026.07.1323:01:00UTC+00UK BRC Retail Sales Growth Halves in June, Signalling Cooler Consumer Demand

UK retail sales growth slowed sharply in June, according to the latest BRC Retail Sales Monitor, underscoring signs of cooling consumer demand after a stronger start to the summer.

Year-on-year retail sales growth eased to 1.7% in June 2026, down from 3.4% in May 2026. Both figures compare each month with the same period a year earlier, highlighting a clear loss of momentum as the pace of spending growth halved within a month.

The data, last updated on 13 July 2026, will likely draw attention from retailers and investors alike, as it suggests that while sales are still rising compared with a year ago, the UK consumer is becoming more cautious heading into the second half of the year.
