Foreword
All data compiled in the Retail Market Study is the fundamental
base for eLocations.com, which changes the retail real estate
landscape from the bricks to clicks. eLocations.com brings
the today’s offline retail real estate world transparently online,
due to the high demand of retailers, investors and brokers for
transparent retail real estate data.
For the eighth time in succession THE LOCATION GROUP
publishes its unique Retail Market Study. This year we cover
the retail development of the 155 most important cities for
fashion retail worldwide. It is reflected in the size of about
1,200 pages and covering more than 4,500 store openings.
The book is split into three parts: In the first book we cover
the retail development in Europe. Additionally we included
the development in the Holiday resorts worldwide. The
second book includes Middle East, Asia and Pacific, and
Africa. Information on North and Latin America is available
in book three with two specials, the Retail M&A Deals and
the Retailers’ Expansion Plans. All three books together
form the Retail Market Study 2017.
For this ninth worldwide report of its kind, THE LOCATION

Purchasing Power Europe 2016 on the rise
Purchasing power is on the rise in central and eastern European
countries. Europeans have around 0.3 percent more nominal purchasing
power per person in 2016 compared to last year. The available net
income of the population varies substantially among the 42 countries.
The highest average purchasing power can be found in Liechtenstein,
Switzerland and Luxembourg, while the lowest is in Belarus, Moldova
and the Ukraine. Ukrainians have only one eightieth the average
purchasing power of Liechtenstein inhabitants. A total of approximately
€9.18 trillion is available to European consumers in 2016 for spending
and saving. This corresponds to an average per-capita purchasing power
of €13,672 for the 42 countries evaluated in the study, which is a nominal
increase of approximately 0.3 percent. The low growth in Europe's
average per-capita purchasing power is due to exchange rate effects
and stagnating growth rates in some of the larger countries, among
other factors. Nonetheless, many countries have growth rates above
5 percent, including Iceland, Bulgaria, Romania, Estonia, the Czech
Republic, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Croatia, Malta, Slovakia, Luxembourg
and Latvia.
Key economic issues that influence retailers in Europe
The European economy has recovered from the doldrums of 2012-2014,
largely due to the aggressive monetary policy of the European Central Bank
(ECB), which involves massive purchases of government bonds, combined
with the positive effect of low oil prices. The ECB policy has suppressed
the value of the euro, thereby boosting export competitiveness; created
inflation when there otherwise would have been deflation, thereby lowering
real borrowing costs; boosted asset prices, thereby increasing wealth and
stimulating consumer spending; and improved credit market conditions,
thereby enabling small and medium-sized companies to regain access to
capital. The result has been modest yet somewhatdisappointing growth.
Inflation remains extremely low, leading to increasing expectations that the
01
Overview Continental Europe
ECB will boost the size of its asset purchasing program. This would have
the effect of further lowering the value of the euro.The ECB policy, combined
with the low price of oil, has led to a revival in the growth of consumer
spending, an improvement in credit market conditions, and renewed growth
of employment as well as a decline in unemployment. It has also had a
positive impact on export growth. Yet it has failed to significantly increase
businessinvestment. Within Europe, some countries are performing better
than others.The star performers are Spain and Ireland, while Italy has begun
to show signs of revival. German domestic demand has been steady, but
export growth has been stymied by troubles in emerging markets. Outside
of the Eurozone, the British economy has been growing at an admirable
pace, with a strong labor market helping to fuel steady growth of retail
spending.Despite Europe’s evident revival, risks remain. With ruinously high
unemploymentinmanycountries,Europehasseentheriseofmanyanti-euro
and anti-EU parties, of both the left and right.As this process unfolds, it could
create greater difficulties for Europe’s governments when they attempt to
resolve imbalances and crises, and if they choose to attempt greater fiscal
and financial integration. Indeed, the latter are probably necessary in order
to create an architecture that would make the euro more sustainable.Another
risk concerns demographics.The population of Europe is aging and, in many
countries, the working age population is in decline. This threatens growth
and also makes it more difficult to provide adequate services to the elderly
population. One solution is to allow more immigration. Yet this is fraught
with political controversy and threatens social tension, as evidenced by the
recent debate about welcoming Syrian refugees.
Europeans are becoming richer and richer
During the past few years, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, Iceland,
the Baltic States, and Kosovo have been among the countries which
have managed to boost their populations‘ purchasing power (in Euro) by
the widest margin in percentage terms. In contrast, the largest nominal
€ losses between 2010 and 2015 have been registered in Greece and
Cyprus (debt crisis), Ukraine and Russia (military conflict), as well as
Belarus. However, even countries with nominal increases of up to 10%,
such as Italy, Spain, or Hungary, still had to contend with economic
difficulties. In real terms, i.e. with inflation taken into account, purchasing
power decreased or stagnated in these countries. Two special cases
are also among the countries with nominal increases of between 10%
and 25%: in both Turkey and Serbia, high rates of inflation ate up
these gains and have resulted in decreased purchasing power in real
terms. Kosovo has experienced high relative growth rates, such that
purchasing power has since caught up to that of Albania. However, since
the country’s purchasing power was low to begin with, the gains have
been similarly small in absolute terms. Highly positive development has
been observed also in the Baltic States as well as Iceland. Although the
United Kingdom and Switzerland have registered purchasing power
increases in their national currencies, the high rates of growth in Euro
are mostly an effect of exchange rate levels. These levels are likely to
remain relatively stable for the Swiss franc, but following the Brexit vote,
absolute purchasing power in Euro in the United Kingdom is expected
to be much lower for 2016.
European consumer confidence rising quickly
The current edition of the RegioData Shopping Climate Index (SCI)*
points to a very pleasing development of the shopping climate in many
Western and Central European countries. However, the situation does
look quite different in the CEE region. With the exception of a select few
noticeable improvements, the consumer climate in the region as a whole
has developed rather negatively. This is particularly noticeable in the drop
of the CEE region’s average SCI index, at a time when the total European
average has actually risen. In particular, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Greece,
and Belarus are among the countries whose SCI’s have been very low for
many years now. But the shopping climate has been worsening – quickly
– also in Ukraine and in Russia over a longer period of time. Significant

improvements are also not likely in most of the other Eastern European
countries. However, Serbia and the Czech Republic are among the few
CEE countries with positive shopping climate development as of the latest
edition of the index. In contrast, consumer confidence has been thoroughly
positive in Western and Central Europe, compared to previous periods.
Particularly noteworthy developments have been registered in the former
“crisis states” Spain, Portugal, and Ireland. The shopping climate in these
three countries has improved dramatically in recent times. In the current
edition of the index, Ireland has even recorded the highest SCI increase
among all examined countries. The shopping climate is also positive in
Germany. In fact, Switzerland and Germany’s SCI indices are both above
100, followed closely by Austria with a value just below 100. Consumer
confidence is positive also in France, Iceland, and the Scandinavian
countries. The situation is not expected to change significantly in the
near future.
Purchasing power in Europe: The Swiss at the summit
Absolute purchasing power is truly booming in Switzerland. Thanks to
the exchange rate, the absolute purchasing power of the Swiss is nearly
40,000 Euros per capita per year, yielding first place in Europe. Due to
comparatively worse growth, Luxemburg has had to give up its traditional
role as frontrunner. Strikingly positive purchasing power development is
being observed in Iceland. In 2013, the country was not even among theTop
10, but now Iceland is in fifth place. The skilful politics and policy for dealing
with the financial crisis are clearly showing their effects with particularly
good purchasing power development. In the Scandinavian countries, the
economic situation is relatively stable, but exchange rates may obscure the
calculations – the current decreases are thus entirely a result of exchange
rate fluctuations. The two problem children, not only in terms of purchasing
power, are unsurprisingly Russia and Ukraine. Both countries have been
fighting uphill battles the past few years. Absolute purchasing power in
Ukraine is currently around 1,190 Euros per capita per year, one of the
lowest in the ranking. The difficult situation in Greece is also no secret.
Absolute purchasing power in Greece had already plummeted below
10,000 in 2014 and continues to decline. In contrast, Cyprus appears to
have gotten back on track after its own financial troubles – the situation is
stabilizing and Cyprus is currently the most prosperous southern European
country. RegioData has often shown that there is considerable inequality
not only between countries, but also in the development within individual
countries. Nonetheless, the trend is moving toward a narrowing of the gap
between rich and poor. For example in Italy, the well-known North-South
gap has been closing slowly but steadily over several years now. Whereas
in 2012 the difference in purchasing power between the wealthiest and
poorest municipalities was still nearly 17,000 Euros, by 2014 this difference
had decreased to around 15,500 Euros.
Weekday expands in Europe
Weekday opened nine stores in Europe during 2016. The fashion chain
has opened in new markets, such as Sweden, Belgium andAustria. Back
in April, the first branch was opened in Vienna, at the same time, another
store was opened in Sweden. There were three more store openings in
Norway, joining four existing stores in the country.
Dunkin' Donuts has big plans to expand in Europe
America may run on Dunkin’, but the retail chain is not stopping there.
Dunkin’ Donuts opened 55 stores across Europe in 2015, boosting its
continental footprint to more than 220 locations. The store openings are
part of expansion plan in Europe that began at the end of 2014. The 2015
store openings brought the American coffee-and-doughnut chain to four
European countries—Denmark, Georgia, Iceland and Poland—for the first
time. When Dunkin’launched the expansion, it planned to open more than
1,000 stores across the continent that catered to local tastes.

Overview Switzerland
Despite the steady decline, the Swiss watch market foresees
potential growth
The Swiss watch market was on steroids, driven by the gifting policy in
China at the time. The industry, which accounts for a 10th of Switzerland’s
exports, has also been hurt by the surging Swiss franc, which forced
many brands to cut prices in export markets to stay competitive.
The emergence of smartwatches from Apple Inc. started to weigh on
demand for lower-end timepieces. In response, Omega put two James
Bond-theme lines on sale, aiming to attract younger clientele. Further
clouding the outlook, the Nov. 13 terrorist attacks in Paris threaten to
keep tourists away from Europe.Still, there is long-term growth potential

in China and the United States as consumers become wealthier.
Analysts predict one percent sales growth for Movado Group Inc. in
2016. That compares with five percent for Swatch. For Richemont’s
coming fiscal year, which starts in April 2016, analysts forecast sales
increasing 10 percent.
Switzerland GDP increased
Switzerland's economy grew by 0.6 percent in the June quarter of 2016,
as compared to an upwardly revised 0.3 percent expansion reported
in the previous three months and beating market consensus of a 0.4
percent growth. It was the strongest growth since the fourth quarter
2014. Year-on-year, the economy expanded 2.0 percent, accelerating
from an upwardly revised 1.1 percent growth in the March quarter
while market estimated a 0.9 percent growth. GDP Growth Rate in
Switzerland averaged 0.43 percent from 1980 until 2016, reaching an
all time high of 2.10 percent in the fourth quarter of 1999 and a record
low of -1.90 percent in the second quarter of 1982.
The cost of living in Switzerland is among the highest in
the world
The cost of living in Switzerland is among the highest in the world, with
the cities of Zurich and Geneva recently named the most expensive
worldwide.The Swiss National Bank’s decision on January 15, 2015
to scrap an exchange rate ceiling with the euro made the Swiss franc
gain in value and Swiss goods and services even more expensive
compared with eurozone countries.A study by UBS bank published in
September 2015 found that Zurich and Geneva top the list of the world’s
most costly cities, ahead of New York. On average, total household
expenditure in Switzerland is around 50% higher than the European
Union average, according to 2014 Eurostat figures. The Economist uses
a “gratifyingly simple” way of calculating purchasing-power parity by
using the price of a Big Mac. According to the January 2016 Big Mac
Index, the Swiss must pay $6.44 for the same burger that would cost
$4.93 in the United States.

Company expects healthy sales growth in 2017 after sharp fall in profits
in 2016. Swatch Group has spotted an end to the sharp downturn in the
Swiss watch industry after sales fell more than 10 percent in 2016 and
net profit almost halved. The company, whose brands include Omega
and Blancpain as well as mass market Swatch products, said that the
final two months of 2016 and the start of 2017 had seen very good
growth in watches and jewellery revenues, especially in mainland China.
Swatch expected “healthy growth” in sales in local currencies in 2017.
Swatch reported net profit had fallen 47 percent to CHF 593 million
in 2016, while sales dropped 11 per cent to CHF 7.55 billion. In 2016,
Swiss watchmakers had their worst year since the global financial crisis,
with exports falling 10 percent, largely as a result of weakness in Hong
Kong and the US, the industry’s two biggest markets. Sales to Chinese
buyers have been hit in recent years by a corruption clampdown in the
country, while consumer spending on luxury goods in Europe has been
damped by terrorist attacks. But Nick Hayek, Swatch chief executive,
has argued the downturn does not represent a crisis for the industry and
is largely the result of globetrotting consumers increasingly choosing
to buy where prices are cheapest. “The environment is improving but
it is still going to be a choppy year,” said Mr Cox. “If you look at some
of the company’s past outlook statements, its comments for ‘healthy
local currency growth’ look actually quite cautious.” In early European
trading, Swatch’s shares were down 3 per cent at CHF 339.9, reflecting
how its 2016 results fell short of analysts’ expectations. Swatch reported
“double-digit” sales in local currency in the UK, after June’s referendum
vote to leave the EU sent the pound sharply lower — as well as the cost
of luxury watches to overseas buyers in London boutiques. Swatch’s
optimistic outlook has meant it has held back from dramatic steps to
cut production. Swatch said sales in Hong Kong had normalised in
recent months, while demand in mainland China had picked up. Other
Asian markets had also recovered, while the Middle East had recorded
“double-digit growth”. Swatch’s expectation of “healthy growth” in local
currencies in 2017 applied to the US and Europe.
Switzerland is key piece in the puzzle for Jigsaw expansion
Jigsaw is eyeing Switzerland as the launch pad for a European expansion
to sidestep fears over Brexit. The fashion retailer has defied the gloom
felt by some of its high street rivals following a collections revamp under
the leadership of Peter Ruis. The Chief Executive, who has an ambition
to grow Jigsaw’s revenues from 100 million to 500 million Pounds, said:
“Switzerland has a good economy and no matter what’s happening in
Europe they will manage it.” Jigsaw’s planned European expansion
would largely focus on department store concessions, which are lower
risk than store leases. The retailer has 77 shops in the UK, four in the
US, five in Australia, two in South Africa and three in the Middle East.
Aldi plans 120 new stores in Switzerland
Aldi Switzerland has big expansion plans. The discounter aims to develop
an additional network for 120 stores, therefore increasing the total
branches to 300 throughout the country. Aldi will also invest 70 million
Swiss Francs in the modernisation of the existing store network. All
locations are to receive a new store design, the convenience sector and
the presentation of fresh fruit and vegetables are also to be enhanced.
KFC plans market entry in Switzerland
The US fast food chain KFC reportedly plans in the next two years to
enter the market in Switzerland. Currently KFC should be looking for
locations and franchise partners such as in Zurich, Basel, Geneva,
Lausanne, Bern, Lucerne and Winterthur. The company reveals nothing
about its expansion plans, so it is not yet known how many KFC outlets
will be opened in Switzerland. The company had already tried in 2004
to enter Switzerland by itself, but the stores closed.
Bata closes its 29 Swiss stores
The 29 Swiss stores of specialist footwear retailer Bata will close down.
The group made the announcement on 18th April 2016, justifying the
measure with competition from online sales and the Swiss franc's
strength, which encourages local consumers to buy in neighbouring
countries. As a result, the group explained that it will proceed to close
down its 29 Swiss stores.
