Dutch retail turnover rose 3.8 per cent year-on-year (YoY) in September 2025, supported by a 1.4 per cent increase in sales volume, according to Statistics Netherlands (CBS). The non-food sector, including retail outside physical shops, recorded a 3.7 per cent rise in turnover, while online retail sales grew by 6 per cent YoY.
The figures for retail turnover have been adjusted for calendar days in September, because more is sold on certain days of the week than on other days. Without such an adjustment, retail turnover in September 2025 would have been over 5 per cent higher than the previous year, CBS said in a press release.
