Prime Determinants of Growth:

The global travel retail market is driven by factors such as the development of the travel & tourism industry, the rise in the purchase of luxury products among travellers, and an increase in the purchase of duty-free products. On the other hand, rigid government regulations and policies and restrictions on baggage hampered the global travel retail industry. Moreover, the growth in the LAMEA and Asia-Pacific economies will create lucrative opportunities for the global travel retail market.

COVID-19 Scenario:

The imposition of travel restrictions, border closures, and lockdown measures severely limited international and domestic travel. This led to a sharp decline in passenger traffic at airports, train stations, and other travel hubs, resulting in a significant reduction in footfall and sales for travel retailers.
The pandemic has caused a shift in consumer behavior, including a preference for online shopping and contactless transactions. Travel retail, traditionally reliant on in-person shopping experiences, faced challenges adapting to these changing preferences.
However, e-commerce platforms and pre-ordering services gained prominence, necessitating a digital transformation for travel retail market players, creating a lucrative opportunity for the travel retail industry's growth.
