Festive seasons have always acted as catalysts in boosting sales and footfallsfor shopping centres. As September marks the beginning of the festive season in India, shopping malls and retailers are once again betting on sales to surge by 15-20 per cent in comparison to last year. The 2021 festive season turned out to be a lifeline for the retail fraternity, as it saw many malls and brands reaching the pre-pandemic level, in terms of sales and revenue.

Adding more to the positive news, the recent report from Knight Frank India announced that 15.5 million sq. ft. of retail space has been added across 16 malls since Jan 2020. Retail sales in Indian malls across the top 8 cities grew at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of approximately 3% to reach USD 8 bn in FY 2022 while in FY 2023, the potential consumption is estimated to surpass the pre - COVID-19 levels to reach USD 11 bn.
