Retail and consumer products

Oman is all set to capitalise on the rise in consumerism thanks to favourable demographics, a rise in population and a strong growth trajectory in tourism and per capita income.

A strong contributor to the growth of the sector is proactive initiatives being taken by the government in streamlining the retail infrastructure and strengthening the investment and tourism landscape.

Keeping up with this trend, shopping malls are being built across the country, while the brick-and-mortar retailers are adopting the omnichannel business model across online and offline platforms.
