Demand revival cheers retail businesses

Qatar’s retail market is booming with business again as customers begin to line-up at billing counters. With easing of COVID-19 restrictions, customers are back with their shopping list, setting the cash registers ringing at malls, hypermarkets and showrooms. 

Buoyed by the uptick in customer demand, retailers are planning to launch new shopping campaign and offers. Last month was a game-changer for Qatar’s retail sector in reviving the customers’ demand. “Last month was crucial in revival of demand in the market. We have seen significant pick up in the business. Customers are back in the market and this time they are focusing on value-buying,” a senior official of major retailer told The Peninsula.
