After five challenging years, including a global pandemic and a significant inflationary shock, the retail sector is set to continue its recovery. In 2025, activity normalization that began in 2024 is expected to persist, with global growth projected at 2.7% for the year.
Key points include:
- A slight increase in volume growth, supported by easing inflation and stronger household consumption.
- Despite the growth, intense price competition in the sector will likely continue to pressure corporate profitability.
