Abstracts

Many consumers are enjoying rising disposable incomes and, in turn, rising spending, but high income inequality in the country means that many households are still struggling. Internet penetration and possession of digital gadgets has grown significantly in recent years and this has boosted internet retailing, particularly among younger consumers. Most Costa Ricans live in houses rather than apartments, driving demand for household goods, but this is changing as a result of urbanisation.
