Canada's wholesale sector demonstrated a notable recovery in December 2025, as sales figures reversed a downward trend observed in the previous month. According to the latest update released on January 27, 2026, wholesale sales witnessed a robust increase of 2.1% month-over-month.
In November 2025, the Canadian wholesale sales index reflected a contraction, with a decline of 1.8%, marking a challenging period for the sector. However, the December figures illustrate a promising turnaround, suggesting improving market conditions and heightened demand within the Canadian economy.
The shift from a negative trajectory in November to positive growth in December offers an optimistic outlook for businesses involved in wholesale trade, as well as a potential ripple effect for the broader economic landscape in Canada. Economists and market analysts will closely monitor upcoming data releases to determine if this upward momentum can be sustained in the forthcoming months.
