"Its ShopperTrak Analytics data, which captures 40billion store visits globally each year, showed that footfall rose +4.4% over the weekend (Sat 13 & Sun 14 Dec 2025) compared to the weekend before. Shopper counts across last week also increased steadily, rising +3.6% on the week before (01 - 07 Dec 2025 vs 08 - 14 Dec 2025). However, footfall across Saturday and Sunday remained lower than 2024, falling -5.7% and -5.4% year-on-year respectively."
"UK shoppers were expected to have made 20.6million transactions over Friday and Saturday last week (12 & 13 Dec 2025), according to separate figures from Nationwide - +6.39% higher than 2024. While footfall rose +3.5% week-on-week on Saturday (13 Dec 2025), Sunday (14 Dec 2025) was the top performing day for store visits across the weekend, with shopper counts jumping +5.7% on the week prior and High Streets seeing the biggest boost (+12%)."
""After a mixed start to Peak Trading and concerns that consumer caution could dampen consumers' Christmas spirits, retailers will have welcomed the tempered but steady build in festive footfall last week," said Andy Sumpter, EMEA Retail Consultant at Sensormatic Solutions. "However, retailers won't be taking anything for granted. With under ten days to go before the Big Day, they'll be doubling down on driving store traffic and capturing seasonal spend as we race towards what's set to be the busiest day for in-store Christmas shopping: Super Saturday.""
Sensormatic's ShopperTrak data, which records 40 billion global store visits annually, showed weekend footfall increased +4.4% compared with the previous weekend and weekly shopper counts rose +3.6%.
