Optimism Amidst Industry Challenges

PT Aspirasi Hidup Indonesia Tbk (ACES) is approaching 2026 with measured optimism despite the retail industry facing various challenges. The company's Head of Corporate Communications & Sustainability, Melinda Pudjo, highlighted that throughout 2025 and potentially continuing into 2026, the retail industry is dealing with fluctuating consumer purchasing power due to macroeconomic conditions.

Adapting to Market Dynamics

The retail sector must become increasingly adaptive in formulating business strategies.

The company's optimistic outlook is based on its ability to adapt to changing market conditions and consumer behavior.
