EXTRACT FROM
INTRODUCTION
'...Based upon our own calculations of a realistic retail market size in China should be, between 2002 and 2009, China’s total retail market grew 204.5% in current terms over the review period to RMB6.81trn – representing an annual average growth rate of 17.25%.

The race is now on to create the infrastructure that will bring more of rural China into the fold of the consuming classes, driving a need for new transport and storage facilities, computerised inventory, a closed chill-chain, modern management systems and all the other accoutrements of a developed retail system.
Foreign retailers and retail suppliers have much to offer in this market, but competition is tough, and the years of rapid retail growth in China could be about to end, making now a crucial time in which to gain a foothold.
China’s retail market is expected to grow by about 45% between 2010 and 2014, to reach a total value of over RMB10.8trn. ...' |
