Retail is showing persistent deceleration, marking its largest annual decline since late 2022. Although sectoral employment is recovering slightly, the divergence between formats reveals a structural transformation in consumer habits. E-commerce growth contrasts with the decline of small chains. This implies a consolidation of the digital model and a concentration of activity in wholesale formats. This evolution is relevant for open data, as it highlights the need for disaggregated data. It enables monitoring the sector's health in the face of digitalization and detecting territorial inequalities through transparent public indicators.
