Retail sales in Ukraine in July 2026 increased by 4% compared to June, and year-over-year growth stood at 8.7%, according to data from the State Statistics Service.
The July data indicate that consumer activity remains fairly high in the Ukrainian domestic market.
Specifically, retail sales by legal entities rose by 3.7% in July compared to June and by 8.8% compared to July 2025.
From January through July, the country’s retail trade turnover increased by 9% year-over-year and reached approximately 1.7 trillion hryvnia in nominal terms.
Retail trade turnover for retail enterprises grew slightly faster over the seven-month period—by 9.1%.
By comparison, for the full year of 2025, Ukraine’s retail trade turnover increased by 8.1%.
Thus, after the first seven months of 2026, the retail market’s growth rate remains slightly higher than last year’s figure.
Future retail trends will depend on real household incomes, inflation, the labor market situation, and energy risks during the fall and winter months.
The State Statistics Service provides data excluding territories temporarily occupied by Russia and parts of the country where hostilities are ongoing or have taken place.
