Australian retail sales finished fiscal 2025 with 4.6% growth for June 2025, the strongest growth in over two years. The standouts were online, recreational goods, pharmacy, cosmetics and electronics. Liquor, cafes & restaurants and supermarkets were all laggards. The strong finish to the year partly reflects end of financial year sales. Retail spending for FY25e was up 3.3% and we see 3.9% growth for FY26e.
