Telco market performance in an economic downturn

‍

The cost of living is on the rise in the US and across Europe, meaning many consumers are facing a decline in their disposable income. With more money being put towards essentials, retailers are seeing a shift in buying behaviours. From scaling back altogether, to shopping around in search of cheaper options, consumers are finding ways to ease the financial pressures.
