Retail Staples 2026 – MRCA Insights for Retailers

As we move into 2026, Malaysia’s retail staples sector continues to face cost pressures, evolving regulations, and shifting consumer behaviour.

Key insights retailers should note:
* Rising operating costs following SST expansion on leasing services
* Mandatory e-invoicing from January 2026 for businesses with RM1M+ turnover
* Strong growth in mini markets and convenience stores, with steady performance from supermarkets and fashion categories
* Slower momentum in department stores, personal care, and furniture segments
* Government support measures helping to sustain consumer spending during peak periods

What retailers can do next:
✔ Monitor costs and margins closely
✔ Prepare early for compliance and reporting requirements
✔ Prioritise categories with stable demand
✔ Align inventory and promotions with government-supported spending periods

Staying informed and planning ahead will be key to navigating 2026 successfully.

14/01/2026

To retailers facing new regulations:

The RM1,700 minimum wage and mandatory e‑invoicing are more than policies—they're shifts that impact your workforce, cash flow, and daily operations.

At MRCA, we turn individual challenges into collective strength.
We provide clarity, share practical strategies, and ensure the retailer's voice is represented where decisions are made.

You don't have to adapt alone.
Join a network that prepares, supports, and advocates—for you.
