Retail sales in Sweden decreased by 0.3 percent in October 2025 compared with September, according to Statistics Sweden (SCB). The decline was driven by a 0.7 percent drop in single‑purchase trade and a 0.2 percent fall in daily trade excluding Systembolaget. Over the three‑month period from August to October, the calendar‑corrected and seasonally adjusted retail sales volume was 2.6 percent higher than in the previous quarter of May to July. In contrast, October 2025 sales were 3.4 percent higher than in October 2024 when measured in calendar‑corrected terms. In constant prices, retail sales rose 4.2 percent versus the same month last year, while single‑purchase trade grew 6.0 percent and daily trade excluding Systembolaget increased 1.8 percent.
