Evolving Consumer Priorities

Event held in collaboration with the Malta Chamber of Commerce, Enterprise, and Industry

As consumer demands evolve, retailers must find the right balance between success today and growth tomorrow. Consumer sentiment has been hit by geopolitical and economic uncertainty driving consumers to change their spending patterns as they stretch their budgets further. Continuous disruption is driving consumers to focus more on affordability and health, prioritising individual needs over collective efforts. Yet industry disruption also presents opportunities for those retailers with the agility to respond effectively to market change.

EY Malta, in collaboration with the Malta Chamber of Commerce, Enterprise and Industry, is delighted to announce the next Industry Focus Series event which will delve into the opportunities and challenges for Malta’s retail sector.

This event will kick-off with an analysis of the 8th Malta Future Consumer Index carried out by EY Malta, and which builds on market research on changing consumer expectations and buying behaviours in Malta over the last three years.
