Other markets experienced slower growth, including Indonesia (+10%), India (+5%), Japan (+5%), Canada (+20%), Russia (+10%), the US (+ 5%), the United Kingdom (+5%), China (+5%) and Germany (+10%). Some markets saw no growth or a small slowdown, such as Mexico (0%), Turkey, and Argentina (both -5%), but again, comparisons to COVID timeframes indicate that trends are simply normalizing to pre-COVID levels.
