Deloitte Consumer Insights | Embracing bricks and clicks in Indonesia
Foreword
Indonesia is often described as Southeast Asias most populous economy. With its
consumers increasingly gravitating towards online consumption, it is not inconceivable that
it might one day become the regions leader in e-commerce and a priority destination for
digital innovation.
In this fourth edition of the Deloitte Consumer Insights report, we explore some of the
latest consumption patterns of the Indonesian consumer that emerged from the results of
the recent survey conducted in the first quarter of 2017 across 2,000 households via face-
to-face interviews in five major cities: Bandung, Jakarta, Makassar, Medan and Surabaya. In
addition, we review some of the insights uncovered in previous editions of the survey, and
reflect on the evolution of the Indonesian consumer over the last few years.
One unmistakeable shift has been the acceleration in the trend towards online shopping.
In the short, one-year span between the previous and this edition of the survey, the
percentage of respondents possessing prior online shopping experience has increased
significantly. Given Indonesias vast potential, however, this is only the tip of the iceberg.
Companies hoping to tap into the growth of this digital channel have much to look forward
to that is, if they can adequately satisfy the consumers demands along a trinity of
dimensions: Practicality, Price and Product Range.
It must be said, however, that some barriers to digital adoption remain. These deterrents
which vary significantly between the different cities include concerns over security, lack
of knowledge and perceived difficulties in returning or exchanging products, and are best
addressed with the use of customised strategies and campaigns tailored to the needs of
the local market.
Finally, the take-off of digital channels does not imply that traditional channels will diminish
in relevance. Consistent with our previous reports, we have also captured and discussed
the latest trends and insights on consumer sentiments, behaviours and motivations on the
non-digital aspects of the market, including spending patterns, buying behaviours, buying
channels, and information sources.
We hope that this report will provide you with insights into the Indonesian consumer
market and the considerations that you will need to make in order to harness the potential
of this next digital destination.

Deloitte Consumer Insights
As with prior editions, this fourth edition of the Deloitte Consumer Insights survey explores a number of
macroeconomic and technological trends influencing the consumption preferences and buying behaviours of
consumers in Indonesia. Later in this report, we will also delve deeper into the consumption patterns for specific
product categories, and examine the impacts of digital technology on consumer behaviour, as its influence on
consumers as a source of information, purchasing channel and avenue for consumer engagement continues to
grow.
Methodology
The survey was conducted in the first quarter of 2017 across 2,000 households via face-to-face interviews in five
major Indonesian cities Bandung, Jakarta, Makassar, Medan and Surabaya with respondents selected from
seven household income levels across the low, middle, and high income segments. The sample was carefully
selected such that it would be a relatively fair representation of Indonesias overall population demographics in
terms of geographical distribution, gender and age.
Consumers were surveyed on their spending patterns, consumer sentiment, brand preferences, buying
behaviours and channels, e-commerce activities and geographical differences across eleven product categories:
Audio and Video Electronics Products (refers Household Appliances (Small) (refers to portable
to audio visual products, as well as related or semi-portable appliances usually placed on
accessories and gadgets) counters or other platforms, such as microwave
Beverages ovens and rice cookers)
Clothing and Footwear Household Cleaning Products
Confectionery Packaged Food
Household Appliances (Major) (refers to non- Personal Hygiene Products
portable appliances, such as refrigerators and Tobacco
washing machines) Transportation

1. Overall consumer sentiment

Optimism on the rise Figure 1: Overall consumer sentiment on economy
Overall consumer sentiment in Indonesia has been consistently
positive over the last three years with only marginal movements: 17% 15% 19%
consumers expressing positive sentiments shifted from 83% in
2015, to 85% in 2016, and then to 81% in 2017 (see Figure 1).
Taking a closer look at this years results, we see a significant

increase in the proportion of respondents indicating clearly
positive sentiments, relative to those expressing moderately
83% 85%
optimistic sentiments (see Figure 2). 81%
There are a number of factors that could have contributed to this

phenomenon, including Indonesia's robust economy currently
growing at 5% per annum, driven primarily by the growth in
population to reach projected 268 million by 20201. In addition,

Makassar makes its voice heard

With the exception of Medan, respondents across all cities expressed optimism levels of 50% and above. Once
again, this represents an improvement from the previous edition of the survey, where only respondents from
Bandung indicated such optimism.
Makassar, in particular, emerged as the most optimistic city, with 78% of respondents indicating optimism (see
Figure 3). This is perhaps expected, given the increasing levels of domestic and foreign direct investments in large-
scale infrastructure spending driving highly visible change within the city, such as its Middle Ring Road initiative
and Makassar New Port development project2.
Similar drivers can also be observed for Jakarta and Surabaya. In Jakarta, for instance, five large-scale
infrastructure spending projects Airport Express Line, Mass Rapid Transit, Light Rapid Transit, National Capital
Integrated Coastal Development and the development of intermediate treatment facilities for waste management
are currently underway3. These are further bolstered by the increase in minimum wage levels across the five
cities, with the highest increases seen in Jakarta and Surabaya (see Figure 4).

Prudence persists
Consumer sentiment varies across income segments, with middle and high income households expressing
higher levels of optimism, and low income households expressing more moderate and pessimistic sentiments
(see Figure 5).
Overall, however, prudence remains the order of the day across all income groups, with only 29% of respondents
expressing plans to increase their spending, while the remaining 74% were not sure or had no plans to increase
their spending this year (see Figure 6). Of the 26%, more than half indicated cautious prudence, expressing a
desire to increase their spending by less than 10%.
In addition, amongst respondents expressing optimistic sentiments, 35% of them planned to increase spending.
For moderate and pessimistic respondents, this figure was at 15% and 17% respectively (see Figure 7).

Packaged Food are the popular good

By comparing last years planned increases in expenditures with this years actual increases, we can gain some
understanding of the changing consumer priorities as they make trade-offs in their consumption across different
product categories.
Packaged Food is the only product category where actual spending exceeded the planned increase. Clothing
and Footwear emerged as the product category with the second highest ratio of actual to planned increase in
expenditure, while Household Appliances (Small) came in at the lowest (see Figure 12). This indicates, to some
extent, how the Indonesian consumer continues to trade off some discretionary purchases in favour of basic
necessities, and is in line with the expectation that any increases in consumer spending, particularly that driven
by the expansion of the middle class, is typically first allocated to basic needs.

As with previous editions of the survey, three major expenditure patterns which vary with monthly household
income level were observed (see Figure 13):
Expenditure Pattern 1: Proportion of expenditure relatively constant across all household income
levels
This year, products in this category include Packaged Food, Clothing and Footwear, and Transportation. Assuming
that, on a per capita basis, the quantities consumed do not vary significantly, this suggests that consumers with
higher incomes tend to consume more expensive or premium options in these categories.
For instance, when a consumers income doubles, he or she may not necessarily double his or her food intake, but
instead may choose to purchase higher quality products, consume a wider variety of products, or pay a premium
for perks such as convenience. For these product categories, this finding suggests opportunities for price and
product differentiation to cater to the different income segments.
Expenditure Pattern 2: Proportion of expenditure decreases as household income level increases

As monthly household income levels rise, expenditure as a proportion of income decreases for products in this
category. Examples include Beverages, Household Cleaning Products, Personal Hygiene Products, as well as
Tobacco.
This could be a result of either a decrease in overall consumption as income rises, or a stagnation in expenditure
level such that it shrinks in proportion relative to income. For instance, while the amount of Household Cleaning
Products that a high income household consumes is likely to slightly exceed that of a low income household, this
difference may not be significant when calculated as a proportion of overall income.
Expenditure Pattern 3: Proportion of expenditure increases as household income level increases

As monthly household income levels rise, expenditure as a proportion of income increases for products in this
category. Examples include Credit Card Instalments, Electronic Products, Leisure and Holidays, as well as Welfare
and Savings.
Typically known as luxury or big-ticket items, products in these categories tend to face an increase in demand as
consumer affluence increases. As their income increases, consumers become increasingly willing to pay a premium
for quality and luxury, and are more interested in financial products such as investments and credit.

3. Brand preferences and

buying behaviour
Local flavour, global fervour
Indonesian consumers increasingly consume a mixed basket of products from both local and global brands. A
strong preference for Local brands is evident across all household income levels in the product categories of
Confectionery, Packaged Food, Household Cleaning Products and Tobacco. These brands are often perceived by
consumers to be offering affordable prices and quality products. Of note is also the fact that some of the more
successful Foreign brands are perceived by consumers to be Local brands.
However, in other product categories such as Clothing and Footwear, Audio and Video Electronics Products,
Household Appliances (Major) and Household Appliances (Small), there is a relatively higher preference for Foreign
brands (see Figure 14). This preference tends to become more pronounced as monthly household income levels
increase (see Figure 15).
In the electronic products categories, low income consumers typically have a strong preference for Local brands.
Preference for Chinese brands are low overall, but low income consumers showed a slightly higher preference for
Chinese Audio and Video Electronics products. On the other hand, Western brands tend to be more popular with
high income consumers, while Japanese and Korean brands are strongly positioned overall and especially among
households with mid to high income (see Figure 16).
There are, however, some geographic differences. Bandung and Medan emerged as the two cities with the highest
preference for Local brands in the electronic products categories (see Figure 17). In these cities where consumers
display relatively higher levels of price sensitivity, the preference for Local brands has continued to grow.

A passion for fashion

With the growth of a young and trendy middle class, Indonesias apparel market is heating up with
competition as global retailers intensify their focus on the market with aggressive expansion to capture
market share. Notable players include:
H&M: H&M entered the Indonesian market in 1996 with the objective of leveraging Indonesia as a sourcing
base. In recent years, however, the focus has been on retail expansion. Its first standalone stores opened in
October 2013 and as of 2016, a total of 20 standalone stores have been opened in Indonesia.
Uniqlo: Since opening its first store in June 2013 in Jakarta, Uniqlo has since undertaken rapid expansion
plans. In September 2016, it opened its tenth store in Jakarta.
Zara: Zara entered the Indonesian market in 1996, and opened its biggest Southeast Asian store in Jakarta
in December 2014. As of 2017, it has 16 stores across Indonesia.

Sensitive but sensible

Consistent with previous editions of the survey, we continue to observe that Indonesian consumers are generally
price-sensitive. They are, however, becoming increasingly conscious about specific product attributes such as
Health, Size Fit, across a range of different product categories from Beverages and Packaged Food, to Clothing
and Footwear. This suggests an increasing health awareness, as well as a desire to be fashionable and trendy (see
Figure 18).
Beverages and Packaged Food: Although Taste remains the most important driver for purchase, Health has
emerged as the third most important factor in this years survey, right after Price. This has changed since 2014,
when Taste and Overall Quality were top drivers. As Indonesian consumers become more affluent, non-price
attributes increase in importance. Increasingly, we see that Indonesian consumers are more willing to pay more
for greater perceived Health benefits in these categories. An example of this is the increasing popularity of cold
pressed juices and energy bars from Indonesian brands such as Fitbar Kalbe and Rejuve.
Clothing and Footwear: Comfort and Size Fit are the most important considerations for this product category,
which have risen in importance relative to Price. This finding, too, shows a degree of evolution since 2014 when
Comfort and Appearance emerged as the top drivers. With the trend towards slim fit fashion, Size Fit has become
more important as consumers demand trendy tight styles with comfortable fit. Across all monthly household
income levels, consumers increasingly care more about how the apparel makes them look and the comfort
level that it provides, rather than its price tag (see Figure 19). This suggests that, when targeting Indonesian
consumers in this product category, factors such as aesthetics and trendiness, as well as fabric and size fit, are
increasing in importance relative to price. One such example is the rise of contemporary streetwear including
jogger pants amongst the middle and high income households, which were popularised by global brands
such as Zanerobe and Elwood.
Household Cleaning Products: Price, Safety and Overall Quality have emerged as the top three drivers for this
product category. In addition, Promotion has risen in importance as the fourth most important driver. This poses
an important consideration for consumer product and retail companies: as Indonesian consumers become
increasingly adept at comparing the functional attributes of competing products, executing the right Promotion
strategy can help brands win market and mind share.
Personal Hygiene Products: Price continues to be the single most important driving factor in this product
category. Considerations such as Overall Quality, Safety, Trust, and Promotion are among the next set of
important drivers. This suggests a need for companies to invest in branding and building credibility with
customers, as these attributes are difficult to assess and consumers would thus need to rely on brand
reputation as a proxy.
Quite expectedly, low and middle income consumers are more price-sensitive and show a greater preference for
Local brands, while high income consumers tend to be more concerned about Overall Quality (see Figure 20).
For companies, this indicates a potential opportunity to adopt a segmented approach in price and positioning,
such as the introduction of basic and premium product lines to cater to the different groups.
Household Appliances (Major), Household Appliances (Small), and Audio and Video Electronics
Products: For these electronics product categories, consumers are driven primarily by the attributes of
Technology, Price, Trusted Brand and Overall Quality. Other attributes, such as Promotions, are relatively
less important. This suggests that consumers are weighing their decisions based on the trade-off between
Technology and/or Quality and Price. On the other hand, factors such as Promotion are nice to have, but are less
essential.

Is price still king?

When presented with options to purchase lower, higher, or similarly priced product alternatives, 14%
of Indonesian consumers chose to purchase the higher priced option, while 60% and 26% selected the
similarly and lower priced options respectively (see Figure 21). This pattern also varies with income, with 71%
of respondents in the highest monthly household income segment open to purchasing higher or similarly
priced options (see Figure 22).

While the key drivers of purchasing decisions remain unchanged from last year across all product categories,
there is a marked shift in drivers for consumers looking to purchase higher priced options (see Figure 23).
For consumer product companies, this implies that a compelling value proposition is likely to be the one that
is able to find the right match between a products price range and its specific drivers of purchase.

4. Buying channels
A big market for Minimarkets
Although Traditional Trade channels especially Warungs continue to be the preferred buying channels, Modern
Trade channels have been gaining considerable traction (see Figure 24).
While overall total grocery sales in Indonesia grew at a year-on-year rate of 11%, Minimarkets posted a substantial
growth rate of 19%4. This suggests that Modern Trade channels have the potential for greater expansion, and that
its current seemingly slow pace of expansion is likely caused by the slow rate of investment rather than consumer
resistance. Local player, Indomaret, for instance, has expanded its network of Minimarkets across the country by
72% from 2012 to 2017. In order to appeal to the Indonesian consumer, companies need to focus on providing
Convenience, Location, Price, as well as Assortment and Availability (see Figure 25).
Consumers in Jakarta continue to have the strongest preference for Modern Trade channels due to their ease of
access and location proximities (see Figure 26). Although Modern Trade outlets are mostly visited for the purchase
of day-to-day necessities such as Household Cleaning Products and Personal Hygiene Products, consumers in
Jakarta also prefer these channels for the purchase of Clothing and Footwear, due to greater affluence and easier
access to Brand Stores and other modern retail outlets (see Figure 27).

Filling the (virtual) shopping carts

On average, the size of shopping carts for Beverages, Packaged Food and Household Cleaning Products at Modern
Trade outlets has increased since 2016 (see Figure 28).
One trend to note, however, is the decreasing shopping cart size for Personal Hygiene Products. This could be due
to fact that consumers are turning to e-commerce channels for their personal hygiene products, such as skincare
products and cosmetics from popular brands such as Innisfree. For consumer products and retail companies, this
is a crucial point: Indonesian consumers mix and match their choice of purchasing channels, and companies will
need to develop integrated and complementary multi-channel strategies in tandem.

5. Communication channels
In Store Promotions are important

While TV remains the most preferred source of information for products and brands amongst Indonesian
consumers, In Store Promotions have also risen in influence (see Figure 29). For many consumer products and
retail companies, providing the right in-store experience can be a meaningful way to encourage trial purchases and
to cross-sell across product lines.
This is especially the case for Audio and Visual Electronics Products, Clothing and Footwear, Personal Hygiene
Products as well as Household Appliances (Major) and Household Appliances (Small), where consumers prefer to
experience the look and feel of the products before making a purchase. As Indonesian consumers are gener all
bargain hunters and enjoy searching for discounts and promotions, In Store Promotion activities should also tap
into this psyche.
Digital is about trust

Although word of mouth channels, including Friends and Colleagues, as well as Relatives, rank lower in terms of
preference, their collective effect is significant, particularly when compounded with other sources such as Digital
Media and its accompanying viral effects. For product categories where frequent information updates on the latest
fashion trends are paramount, such as Clothing and Footwear, and Audio and Visual Electronic Products, digital
information sources also become relatively more important (see Figure 30).
Digital Media is also especially important in reaching Indonesias high income consumers. These consumers not
only possess a higher tendency to search for product information through these channels, but also purchase more
high value, high tech and specialty products online. High income consumers are also increasingly cautious and
sceptical of traditional information sources that tend to be provided directly by product companies, preferring to
seek out third party opinions instead (see Figure 31).

TV vs. Digital: The battle begins

Although the overall influence of Digital Media channels as compared to TV on the Indonesian consumer
remains relatively limited at this point in time, it is growing in importance, especially for consumers
considering the purchase of higher priced alternatives. This trend is particularly pronounced for certain
product categories, such as Beverages, Confectionery, Personal Hygiene Products, as well as Household
Appliances (Major) and Household Appliances (Small) (see Figure 32).

Emerging market players

Although Indonesias e-commerce market remains nascent at this point in time, a number of emerging market
players can already be identified. The top players cited by respondents included Lazada (30%), Traveloka (17%),
and Tokopedia (16%). These players exhibit strengths in different product categories: Traveloka commands a
significant share in the purchase of travel tickets, while Tokopedia is favoured for Confectionery, Packaged Food,
Personal Hygiene Products and Household Cleaning Products. Lazada is preferred for Clothing and Footwear, as
well as electronic products, while Bukalapac and Tokopedia seem to be winning in the category of Books. On the
other hand, Elevenias relative position is more focused on grocery items such as Beverages, Confectionery and
Packaged Food (see Figure 36).

Deterrents differ by city

Across all income levels, the top deterrents to online shopping include concerns over security, lack of knowledge,
and perceived difficulties in returning or exchanging products (see Figure 37).
In order to address these barriers to adoption, however, localised approaches may be necessary as the various
cities face their own unique sets of challenges (see Figure 38). For example, the need to invest in consumer
education is more pronounced in Medan and Surabaya. Consumers in Bandung, however, are more price-
sensitive, while those in Makassar are more concerned about the difficulties they face in returning or exchanging
products.
In Jakarta and Makassar, consumers are also deterred by long delivery times. To overcome this, e-commerce
players are increasingly looking to collaborate with logistics partners to offer next-day delivery options. Examples
include Bukalapaks collaboration with GoJek, and Tokopedias partnership with Go Send and Grabexpress. Other
players have also opted to set up their own delivery services instead, with Lazada launching its own delivery
service, Lex, to address this need. Other innovative solutions, including automated parcel lockers such as PopBox,
are also being explored in order to bridge the chasm with consumer expectations.
Low credit card penetration rates also remain a key barrier to e-commerce adoption in Indonesia. With only 6.6%
of the population having access to credit cards6, some providers, such as Krevido, have also developed solutions to
extend credit to consumers without credit cards, for instance, by conducting some basic background checks (see
No credit card? Get Kredivo).
For consumer products and retail companies looking to expand their e-commerce presence in Indonesia, now
is the time to identify and prioritise specific regions or cities for growth, as well as customise strategies and
campaigns to accelerate success. This is particularly crucial for product categories where the market is becoming
increasingly saturated and competitive.
Other than e-commerce, digital innovation also provides companies with a way to address challenges, strengthen
competitive advantages and leverage new growth opportunities (see Craving for Korea and GO-JEK just keeps
going).
No credit card? Get Kredivo

Kredivo is an instant credit solution for online shopping that gives consumers the convenience to buy
now and the option to pay later within 30 days without interest, or in three, six or 12-month instalments.
Operating through the Kredivo Andriod app, it is currently supported by PT BFI Finance Indonesia Tbk, a
financial company based in Indonesia and the lender for all Kredivo loans.
In contrast to traditional instalment programmes, which were available to the approximately 6 million credit
card holders in Indonesia, Kredivo provides everyone with access to instalment programmes, whether they
possess a credit card or not, as long as they are between the ages of 18 and 60 and earn more than IDR 3
million a year.
Using information posted on social media sites such as Facebook, LinkedIn and Instagram, Kredivo conducts
background checks on their customers and evaluates up to 1,000 variables in just 24 hours. Once their
application is approved, customers can gain access to 40 e-commerce sites such as Bhinneka.com, Jualo.

Craving for Korea

Elevenia is an online, open marketplace based in Indonesia with over 2 million members, 30,000 sellers and
more than 4 million products that is attempting to create its niche and differentiate itself with global products
and unique services.
With surging demand for global products, Elevenia launched its Titip Beli dari Korea (literally translated as
Help Me Buy from Korea) offering. Through this new offering, consumers can obtain their desired Korean
products within less than a month. This service proved to be so popular on its launch that Elevenia received
orders for 10,000 packets of a Korean branded instant noodle in just one day.
In addition, Elevenia also created a Korea Avenue section that focuses on selling various Korea-related
products including fashion, accessories, beauty, food and K-pop items.

GO-JEK just keeps going

Launched in July 2014, Go-JEK started with a call centre and a fleet of 20 motorcycle riders as a pick-up and
delivery service. Often considered a successful competitor of Uber, it also provides motorcycle taxi services for
Indonesians and is now a leading provider of on-demand transportation that operates through mobile phone
apps.
The success and evolution of Go-JEK reveal some insights into how specific business challenges in Indonesia
can provide opportunities for digital innovation. For Go-JEK, its critical success factors include its success in
integrating separate offline competencies into a seamless digital experience for consumers; gaining consumer
loyalty and trust with personalisation; providing convenience and transparency; and accumulating a substantial
amount of consumer information and insights through its digital channels to drive future growth.
Integrating separate offline competencies into a seamless digital experience

With its infamous traffic jams, Indonesia presents major execution challenges for companies when it comes
to last mile delivery services. In this aspect, GO-JEK provides a solution for digital retailers and e-commerce
companies who are looking to differentiate themselves from the competition with attractive shipping options.
But Go-JEK has also been able to leverage its competencies in delivery to expand its suite of services. GO-Food
and GO-Mart, for example, are its food delivery and convenience store shopping arms respectively, enabling
consumers to order products through its mobile interface and then to receive the delivery via GO-JEK. GO-
Massage, on the other hand, delivers on-demand massage services.
Gaining consumer loyalty and trust with personalisation

Many Indonesian consumers use GO-JEK services to purchase and receive products (such as pizza) despite the
fact that many of these retailers (pizza restaurants) operate their own delivery services. Two reasons have been
cited for this. Firstly, the consumers GO-JEK app already contains all the necessary personal location-based
data, and thus, the consumer does not need to repeat this information. Secondly, GO-JEK offers a digital wallet
service, known as GO-Pay, which enables consumers to conveniently pay for products and delivery. Thirdly, GO-
JEK offers transparent pricing and location, as well as real-time support, which enables it to gain the trust of the
consumer.
Accumulating consumer information and insights

Through its digital platforms, GO-JEK is constantly accumulating substantial amounts of customer information,
including their demographics, address, product preferences and payment preferences. By leveraging this data,
GO-JEK can capitalise on future opportunities to cross-sell different products to its customers, and conduct
micro-segmentation to target, engage and advertise to its consumers.

Looking ahead
In this fourth edition of the Deloitte Consumer Insights report, we explored a number of macroeconomic and
technological trends influencing the consumption preferences and buying behaviours of consumers in Indonesia.
We also took a closer look at consumption patterns for specific product categories, and examined the impacts of
digital technology on consumer behaviour, as its influence on consumers both as a source of information as well
as a purchasing channel continues to grow.
There are three key takeaways. Firstly, with the rise of affluence, Indonesian consumers are becoming increasingly
optimistic, buoyed by signs of rapid economic growth that will increase their employment prospects and,
subsequently, income. This trend was especially pronounced in the middle to high income households, and has
also translated to a greater willingness to increase spending in basic necessities. For incumbent companies and
new entrants alike, making the right strategic choices on where to play in terms of product offerings and product
range will determine the addressable market and growth potential of their businesses.
Secondly, several distinct patterns of consumer preferences and behaviours have been identified in this survey,
which imply the need for customisation across different product categories. For instance, certain product
categories provide opportunities to offer premium product lines and segmented pricing, while others require mass
marketing for low to middle income consumers. In order to capitalise on these opportunities, companies will face
a greater need for the competitive deployment of consumer insights across different areas of their businesses,
including product development and pricing strategy.
Finally, and perhaps most importantly, we witnessed the rise of Indonesias digital market. Given Indonesias large
population, the sheer magnitude of its potential e-commerce market cannot be ignored. With signs of accelerating
growth and the rise of first-movers within the market, Indonesia looks to be on the brink of an e-commerce boom.
The bottom line is that companies who wish to capitalise on Indonesia as the next digital destination will need to
focus on their fundamentals and innovation opportunities. They will need to gain an in-depth understanding of
the product categories that are best served by digital channels, and work to tackle localised barriers to adoption in
their priority markets and segments. But above all, they must focus on cultivating trust and mind share with their
consumer sooner, rather than later, in the game before market saturation inevitably sets in.
