The digital consumer landscape of today exists amid different circumstances compared with just a year or two ago, when Covid-19 spurred more home-centric lifestyles and accelerated the shift from offline to online. As we move beyond the pandemic phase and continue to reopen, the region is faced with many uncertainties and challenges—inflationary pressures, geopolitics, and other global macroeconomic headwinds.
