Indian Retail Landscape

India is emerging as one of the fastest growing consumption markets owing to its young demographic dividend, rising income levels and increasing exposure levels of consumers towards premium and international brands. Indian consumers are shifting towards readymade products in each category be it fashion, food, furniture, etc. and are aspiring for more and better brands. This shift is fuelling India’s retail sector growth, which is currently valued at ~USD 550 billion. The organized retail which currently accounts for 7% of this retail market is expected to reach 15% by 2025.

Global retailers and brands are actively seeking Indian market participation, either on their own, or in partnership with a local player. While few international players are writing their business plans for entering Indian retail market, many of them have already entered, tested the market and are now ready for the expansion wave. With further boost by government by opening up the sector for FDI, the sector is going to witness many more international players and will provide a boost to organized retail in India over the next few years.

This compendium of various articles asserts some of the changing dynamics in several facets of Indian retail industry. Some of the burning issues in terms of outlook, opportunities, challenges, shifting strategies of retailers are addressed by way of sharing perspectives and examples through various articles. These include:

• Changing face of consumerism and need for action for building consumer loyalty

• Growth opportunities within the existing formats like Supermarkets and the unexplored ones like Deep Discounts

• Restructuring strategies of retailers like contracting store sizes, going multi-channel and online

• Strategic issues such as attracting and retaining talent, collaborating and building brands

The sector does offers tremendous opportunities for all but addressing the needs of highly discerning new Indian consumer group is equally challenging. Brands and retailers are making an attempt to be more adaptable to the consumer needs and be more focused in their approach for sharply focused business strategies.

I am certain that this journey is going to be much more exciting, dynamic and full of opportunities over the next decade.
