China’s retail sector showed signs of recovery in June 2026, with year-over-year retail sales rising 1.0%, according to data updated on 15 July 2026. The improvement marks a notable turnaround from May 2026, when retail sales had contracted by 0.6% compared with a year earlier.

The latest June reading, measured on a year-over-year basis, indicates that consumer spending picked up after slipping into negative territory in the previous month. In May, the indicator reflected a decline versus May 2025, while June’s 1.0% growth represents an increase against June 2025.

The shift from a 0.6% drop in May to 1.0% growth in June suggests a stabilization in domestic demand, although the pace of expansion remains modest. Market participants will be watching upcoming data to assess whether June’s rebound signals the start of a more sustained recovery in Chinese consumer activity.
