A Booming Consumer Market

By 2025 one billion people will enter the global consuming class and around 600 million of them will live in emerging markets on Oman’s doorstep. Companies that understand and respond to these shifting dynamics will experience tremendous benefits.

Indeed, all these services are provided free-of-charge.
