28.10.202611:00:00UTC+00Irish Retail Sales Growth Cools to 2.9% in September, Down from 4.1%

Ireland’s retail sector lost some momentum in September 2026, with year-over-year sales growth easing to 2.9%, down from a revised 4.1% in August, according to data updated on 28 October 2026.

The figures, which compare each month to the same period a year earlier, indicate that while consumer spending is still growing, the pace has moderated as autumn begins. August’s 4.1% annual gain had suggested relatively robust demand, but September’s weaker 2.9% reading points to a softer trajectory for retail activity.

Analysts and market participants will be watching upcoming releases closely to determine whether September’s slowdown marks the beginning of a more persistent cooling in consumer demand or a temporary pause following stronger summer performance. For now, Ireland’s retailers remain in expansion territory, but with less momentum than just a month earlier.
