Thailand Retail Sales YoY

Retail sales in Thailand climbed by 66.5% year-on-year in October 2025, following an upwardly revised 50% jump in the previous month. This marked the strongest growth since December 1999, driven by a sharp increase in sales of other retail items (113.8% vs 99% in September), particularly new goods in specialized stores and online/mail-order sales. Additionally, trade growth accelerated for non-durable goods (5.4% vs 3.9%), especially for tobacco products in specialized stores. On the other hand, activity declined for motor vehicles and automotive fuel (-1.8% vs 3.9%), while slower sales increases were seen in department stores, supermarkets, and general stores (1.9% vs 22.4%) and durable goods (0.2% vs 1.5%). On a monthly basis, retail activity grew by 26.9% in October, easing from a 45.9% rise in the preceding period.
