Brazil's retail sales declined 0.8% month-over-month in July 2026, reversing a 0.5% increase in June. Five of the eight surveyed sectors registered losses, with the sharpest drops in furniture and household appliances (-4.9%), books, newspapers, magazines and stationery (-4.2%), textiles, clothing and footwear (-2.7%), other personal and household goods (-2.2%), and hypermarkets and supermarkets (-0.2%).

By contrast, three sectors recorded growth: pharmaceutical and perfumery products (0.6%), office, IT and communication equipment (0.6%), and fuels and lubricants (0.3%).

Regionally, sales fell in 20 of Brazil's 27 states, with the steepest declines in Amapá and Tocantins (-2.5% each) and Mato Grosso (-2.2%). Despite the broader weakness, expanded retail sales rose 0.4% in July, offsetting part of the 1.1% contraction seen in June.
