In a significant development for the U.S. retail sector, the latest Redbook report reveals a deceleration in year-over-year retail sales growth. According to data updated on December 9, 2025, the current indicator has settled at 5.7%, down from the previous figure of 7.6%.

The Redbook report, which compares sales changes for the current month to the same month a year ago, underscores a considerable slowdown in consumer spending momentum as the year draws to a close. This drop marks a notable shift from November when sales growth was more robust.

A decrease in this key indicator may prompt analysts to reassess forecasts regarding consumer confidence and its impact on the broader U.S. economy as a potential indicator of a cooling economic environment. Retailers, economists, and policymakers alike will be closely monitoring these numbers in the coming months to understand underlying factors contributing to this trend and to gauge future economic dynamics.
