25.11.202511:00:00UTC+00UK Retail Growth Continues to Contract as November Sees Further Decline in CBI Distributive Trades Survey

The UK's retail sector shows no signs of recovery as the CBI Distributive Trades Survey for November 2025 reveals a further dip, marking a troublesome period for the industry. According to the updated data released on 25 November 2025, the indicator slumped to -32, a significant drop from the previous month's score of -27.

This downward trend underscores the challenges faced by retailers amid economic uncertainties. The current figures suggest that retail sales volumes have decreased further in November, following an already difficult October. The consecutive negative readings are alarming, indicating persistent struggles in consumer spending and confidence.

As the year end approaches, these figures raise concerns for retailers anticipating the holiday season, typically a vital period for sales growth. This continuing contraction may prompt businesses and policymakers to reassess strategies and measures to invigorate the sector and stabilize consumer demand in the coming months.
