According to the latest data, the year-over-year (YoY) growth rate of China's total online retail sales reached 26.23% in Q2 2026 (latest observation value 2026-06-01). Although it retreated from the previous value of 37.63%, it still appears resilient compared to the contraction of overall retail sales of consumer goods. Market data indicates that China's overall retail sales unexpectedly decreased by 0.6% YoY, reflecting the continued interference of real estate weakness and youth employment pressure on domestic demand. Going forward, attention should be paid to whether major e-commerce promotions can boost short-term buying sentiment.
