2013 - Top Predictions for Global Retail Markets

The globalisation of retail industry is intense. Before, it was hard to imagine that international retailers would set up a shop in your neighbourhood, but now it is actually happening. Globally retailers are now spreading their wings across the globe to cash in on new opportunities.

Many countries which have not historically proven attractive to international retailers have enjoyed increased interest over the last few years. Strong economic performance has boosted retail sales, generating good demand for space in high street and shopping centre locations from both domestic and international brands.

Most of the luxury retailers are international out of which nearly 90 per cent have a presence in grocery, food and drink, of which only 60 per cent also had presence in clothing, and 54% have presence in footwear and accessories. .

Critical risk assessment for retailers is:

• Payback expectations

• Ensuring brand integrity

• Capability assessment

For retailers operating across locations is about where and how you operate. The key is finding the right balance between globalization and localization to support their expansion strategy including the eventual size of international business.

a. Growing power of local competitors

b. Need for strategic localization

c. Trade off between market potential and ease of expansion

d. Integrating online retailing

e. Human resource challenge
