Navigating Retail Sector in India
Dip in Consumer Spending and Market Volatility
- The Indian retail sector has seen stagnation with a drop in consumer spending, as inflation reached 7.8% in 2022, creating a volatile market at both micro and macro levels.
- Navigating this challenge, stakeholders can realign their price strategies and enhance value offerings to gain consumer trust and improve sales margin, potentially reversing the trend.
Infrastructure and Regulatory Hurdles Hamper Growth
- Despite robust growth potential, Indian retailers face infrastructure issues such as inadequate logistics and delayed regulatory clearances, slowing market growth.
- Accelerating supply chain efficiencies and investing in robust logistics can significantly tackle the discrepancy, turning drawbacks into an innovative boost for market expansion.
Rising Middle-Class & Growing Consumer Base
- By 2025, India’s middle-class population is projected to double, reaching 583 million, expanding the retail market exponentially with a ripe environment for new entrants.
- Strategic investments in emerging localities and personalized consumer experiences would capitalize on the rapidly increasing demand, consolidating market presence effectively.
E-commerce Boom Projections and Digitalization Push
- The e-commerce sector in India is expected to reach a market size of $200 billion by 2026, having climbing rates driven by increased smartphone adoption.
- Leveraging digital platforms integrated with advanced technology and data analytics can amplify market reach and consumer engagement, unlocking extensive untapped potentials.

Global Marketing Director
Saint Gobain
"YCP Solidiance’s vast network and enormous experience in India, benefited us in identifying some of the competent Institutes, which were not on our radar before. Being a huge country, it is not easy to locate such Institutes that may not be popular or generally well known but that may have specific competencies useful for our applications. YCP Solidiance truly served as a partner to link us with new academia in India, which has great potential for collaboration. I personally appreciate the dedication and professionalism of Solidiance's entire team, & particularly would like to thank Heiko for his excellent project management & valuable inputs. Thank you for the cooperation and we hope to continue the partnership we have built up so far."
