Disposable income is the money each person has after paying taxes. This money is what people can use for spending and saving. When people have more money to spend, they are more likely to buy things. In Asia-Pacific, which is a big driver of global economic growth, the medicated confectionery market is expected to do really well. This is because as the economy grows and people's incomes increase, they are more likely to want and buy medicated confectionery. The middle-class population in Asia-Pacific is growing, and these consumers have higher expectations, which means that companies making medicated confectionery need to adjust their strategies to meet these expectations.
The economic growth in Asia-Pacific has led to more people moving from rural areas to cities, and this has attracted international retailers to the region. As a result, retail outlets, both traditional stores and online shops, are expanding in countries like India and China. Online shopping is becoming very popular for food products in this region. People like it because they can easily see what products are available and how much they cost, making it easier for them to decide what to buy. Online retailers are taking away customers from physical stores because people find online shopping more convenient and it saves them time.
India, in particular, has a rapidly growing economy and is seeing a rise in modern retailing. According to the India Brand Equity Foundation (IBEF), the retail space in India increased by 81% from 2017 to the end of 2018, reaching 7.8 million square feet. The retail market in India is expected to grow by 60% and reach USD 1.1 trillion by the end of 2020. This is due to higher incomes, better digital connectivity, and changes in the lifestyle of the middle-income population. In 2017, online retail sales in India were USD 17.8 billion, a 23% increase from the previous year. The growing economy and changing shopping habits in Asia-Pacific are creating a favorable environment for the medicated confectionery market to thrive.
