Finding the right pockets of growth in India


The consumer and retail landscape has changed over the past few years, first with COVID-19 and then with inflationary pressures. Consumers have also adjusted their buying behavior to manage their expenses. With these changes, the pockets of growth are also shifting. You need to identify the right consumers for your business and be present where they are.


Growth pockets beyond the megacities

It is no surprise that consumers in urban areas have the capacity to spend more than those in rural. However, according to the latest Periodic Labour Force Survey, 5 million Indians have returned from cities to rural parts of India. This is the highest shift in the last decade, where previously, the trend was for people to migrate from rural areas to cities. With better connectivity, digital and internet maturity, and improvement in infrastructure, rural consumption will only grow. Also, these consumers have the purchasing power to afford a lifestyle that they were used to in the bigger cities.They are now looking for similar access to goods and services closer to home, giving rise to the next wave of growth beyond the megacities and the metros.
