  • Emphasizing swiftly on enhancing e-commerce platforms and customer service can tap into the ongoing digital transformation, capturing increased consumer spending online.

Rising Middle Class and Consumer Spending Capability

  • The rising middle class continues to boost retail expenditure as families achieve higher disposable incomes, improving purchasing power and consumer confidence.
