Retailing in Emerging Markets - Europe - July 2011

Retailing in Emerging Markets - Europe - July 2011

This market report covers retail within 15 emerging countries in Central and Eastern Europe and Turkey. The countries covered in this report have a population broadly similar to the combined population of the five largest economies in Europe (France, Germany, Italy, Spain, UK). However, the markets covered in this report lag well behind in terms of development and affluence, potentially offering vast scope for future growth, something that a number of multinational companies have sought to exploit by investing early.

The report looks at the market share and size of retail within this region, in addition to providing a crucial insight into challenges affecting to market and potential opportunities.

Some key points discussed in the report include:

£1,495.07

The Emerging markets of Central and Eastern Europe have generally enjoyed some of the strongest rates of growth in Europe in recent years.

The retail sectors in these emerging markets are growing quickly as the markets embrace free market ideals.

For many of the markets in the region, retail development has been limited to the major urban centres suggesting significant growth potential remains in other areas as modern retail formats are introduced.


Rates of consolidation in the retail market vary considerably across the markets covered in this report. These figures offer a useful insight into the overall development of a retail sector.
