Retail forecasts for 2025 - quarterly update

What happens next?

01 May 2025

We have updated our forecasts for the Australian retail sales outlook. Despite significant global uncertainties created by US tariffs, Australian consumers have taken it in their stride. We forecast retail sales growth for 2025 of 3.4% (prev 3.6%). Our downgrade in growth is only for supermarkets and liquor with softer volumes and price inflation. Non-food retail has started the year strongly, particularly in household goods and online. The strength in retail sales is largely attributable to strong household income growth and the drivers of this elevated growth will be difficult to sustain given the magnitude of recent tax cuts and outsized population growth. A better backdrop would require consumers to save even less. We expect sales growth of 4% beyond 2025.
