Shoppers in Indonesia (86%), Vietnam, the Philippines (74%), and Egypt (68%) are leading this behavioral change. Shopping locally has also become a key factor in driving sustainability with 52% of global consumers stating  that they are ‘actively doing more to support local business and independent retailers.’
