The brand loyalty landscape in Indonesia has constantly been evolving. Though the pandemic led to a slowdown, retailers developed a unique ecosystem to serve demand-supply requirements in the market. First was the pandemic, and now due to the economic downturn, brands have difficulty keeping momentum. When retaining existing customers is turning tricky, brands are embracing innovative strategies to gain more brand fans.
The loyalty programs market in Indonesia will increase from US$775.5 million in 2021 to US$1470.9 million by 2026, per Research & Market’s report. During 2022-2026, the Indonesian loyalty market is expected to record a CAGR of 13.6%.
The consumer approach towards loyalty programs in Indonesia is not the same anymore (Read more about customer loyalty programs in Indonesia).

Capillary has been helping brands address such concerns with its robust modularized product suite.
