Wholesales sales in Canada, excluding petroleum and hydrocarbon products, rose by 0.3% from the previous month to C$93.1 billion in July of 2026.

The result was revised higher from the flash estimate of a 0.6% decline, extending the 2.8% jump in June to reflect some resilience to higher energy costs from the Canadian manufacturing sector.

Higher sales were observed from building materials and supplies subsector (3.5% to C$13.8 billion) and food, beverage, and tobacco producers (1.7% to C$16.67 billion).

In turn, sales fell for farm products (-1.9% to C$1.8 billion) and personal and household goods (-1.5% to C$12.8 billion).

Wholesalers raised prices in the period to support turnover, as volumes shrank by 0.6% from the previous month.
