2025年8月,加拿大批发贸易环比下降1.2%,至854亿加元,这是四个月来的首次收缩,扭转了7月份1.2%的增长,但超过了最初预计的1.3%的下降。七个子行业中有三个出现下降,约占批发活动总量的一半。跌幅最大的是机动车和零部件(-8.8%),其中机动车行业集团(-10.7%)领跌,食品、饮料和烟草(-3.8%)受食品销售额下降(-4.2%)的推动。杂项(+4.0%)和机械、设备和用品(+2.3%)子行业的收益部分抵消了整体下降。从地区来看,七个省份的批发销售额下降,其中安大略省(-2.4%,至438亿加元)和魁北克省(-1.0%,至153亿加元)领跌,而萨斯喀彻温省则逆势上涨9.6%,至39亿加元。
Canada’s wholesale trade declined 1.2% month-on-month to C$85.4 billion in August 2025, the first contraction in four months, reversing a 1.2% gain in July but beating initial estimates of a 1.3% drop. Three of seven subsectors posted declines, together accounting for roughly half of total wholesale activity. The sharpest pullbacks came from motor vehicles and parts (-8.8%), led by the motor vehicle industry group (-10.7%), and food, beverage and tobacco (-3.8%), driven by lower food sales (-4.2%). Gains in the miscellaneous (+4.0%) and machinery, equipment and supplies (+2.3%) subsectors partially offset the overall drop. Regionally, wholesale sales fell in seven provinces, led by Ontario (-2.4% to C$43.8 billion) and Quebec (-1.0% to C$15.3 billion), while Saskatchewan bucked the trend with a 9.6% rise to C$3.9 billion.
