Follow on Google News | Just Released: "Global Department Store Retailing"New Retailing market report from Verdict Research: "Global Department Store Retailing"
Scope * Value of the department store sector in North America, Europe, Japan, Latin America, China, MEA and the rest of Australasia with forecasts to 2014. * Profiles of the Top 12 retailers including details of current and future strategies, sales performance, store numbers and other operating data to 2009. * A dedicated chapter for each region inclusive of sales, store numbers, space as well as insight into the main players and key regional sector trends. Highlights The global department store market shrank by 4% in 2009 (to $343bn), pulled down by falls of over 6% in North America and Europe where consumers have reacted to the rising tide of unemployment, smaller bonus payments and falling asset prices by reducing non-essential expenditure and switching to more value-orientated retailers. With opportunities for further stores often limited in mature developed markets, an increasing number of operators aim to build an international presence. The fastest expansion is being achieved by those using franchises, such as Debenhams and Marks & Spencer. Others prefer a more direct approach with whole- or part-ownership of new stores. Despite dampened growth in 2009, we expect sales to bounce back in 2010, with many emerging Asian markets ripe for development. Department store operators still tend to be regionally based and offer huge scope for further growth to meet the demands of an increasingly affluent and aspirational urban population in countries such as China. Reasons to Purchase * Plan international expansion effectively and assess which countries have the best growth potential whether you are a retailer or a sector supplier. * Formulate market share objectives for your company and track progress using the detailed financial and operating data for leading department stores. * Review the strategies of competitors and develop plans that respond to the opportunities and threats facing the department store sector in your region.
