KUALA LUMPUR (Sept 10): When the Malaysian retail industry experienced its worst performance in over two decades in 2020 contracting by 16.3%, the industry had expected to only recover to pre-pandemic levels in 2024.
However, the latest edition of the Malaysia Retail Industry Report published by Retail Group Malaysia (RGM) revealed that the first quarter of 2022 (1Q2022) and 2Q2022 growth numbers were solid, expanding year-on-year by 18.3% and 62.5% respectively. With retailers expecting yet another jump of 61.7% in the third quarter, RGM is now confident that the industry will recover to levels achieved in 2019 — the year before the pandemic.
