The Indian retail industry is rapidly growing, projected to reach a market size of $1.3 trillion by 2020, up from $600 billion in 2015, driven by e-commerce and rising incomes. With the government's support for foreign investments and the implementation of the Goods and Services Tax (GST), the retail landscape is evolving, favoring digital and organized formats. Additionally, changing consumer preferences and the entry of foreign brands are reshaping competition, while traditional retail remains significant in rural areas.
