This document provides a market view and analysis of the Greek supermarket and hypermarket sector for the years 2015 and January to April 2016. It finds that:
1) The value sales trend in supermarkets and hypermarkets was negative in 2015 and the first 4 months of 2016, with sales declining more sharply in 2016.
2) Medium sized supermarkets between 400-1000 square meters were the only store type to reverse the negative sales trend in 2016.
3) Most food categories saw declining sales in both units and value, while frozen and packaged foods were the only categories with growth.
4) Private label brands continued to lose market share in 2016, dropping to their lowest level since 2012.
India’s strong consumption story relies on its demographic structure, which, at this
point in time, is highly favourable compared to most other emerging nations. As per
the UN population statistics, this favourable demographic dividend will last for another
25–30 years. Before that, most other emerging nations would have already begun to
witness a slowdown in the growth of young (working-age) population.
The ensuing benefits with regard to the rising income and household spending would
provide a significant boost to the consumption-driven growth story of India. A glimpse
of the changing pattern of India’s consumption is already visible in the breakdown
of private final consumption spending data provided by the government. There is
a marked increase in spending on lifestyle products and services such as hotels,
mobiles, transportation and other miscellaneous goods. As against that, spending on
essentials has only remained stable.
International retailers are well aware of these benefits that the Indian economy offers.
Barring few legislative challenges that could be tackled through the policy reforms and
opening up of the retail sector, retailers have often expressed their intention to enter
and invest in India’s attractive retail sector. This is very well reflected in AT Kearney’s
Global Retail Development Index 2012, where India ranks as the fifth most attractive
retail market for international retailers. The retail sector is a significant contributor to India’s economic activity. Though a
direct measurement of the retail sector is difficult to derive through government
statistics, the trade, hotels and restaurant sectors come close to giving us an
estimate of its contribution. That component, in which retail (both organised and
unorganised) is the dominant activity, accounts for around 18% of India’s GDP.
Within the services sector of India, this component is the largest contributor
to the economy. Many institutions, however, may not agree with this possibly
understated measurement of the retail sector, as it may not accurately account
for the unorganised sector. For instance, as per the estimates of the Associated
Chamber of Commerce and Industry (ASSOCHAM) presented in one of its retail
reports of 2012, the contribution of both organised and unorganised retail stood
at 22% of GDP. This would mean that Indian retail sector size should measure
closer to INR 19.2 trillion in 2012. Leading research institutions such as AT
Kearney and ASSOCHAM estimate this sector to grow at around 15% y-o-y over
the next three–five years as against a 12%–13% nominal growth of India’s GDP
estimated by the International Monetary Fund (IMF). Going by that logic, the retail
sector should reach a size of INR 34 trillion by 2016. This is a significant growth.
The sector is also an important contributor towards the socioeconomic well-being
of the economy as it employs close to 9.4% of India’s labour force, as per the
association.

Saudi Arabian economy is marked by liberal economic policies and free market mechanisms
stimulating foreign investments. The kingdom has biggest oil reserve outside Soviet Union and
USA and like other Gulf counterparts, aims at diversifying its economy into industrial and
service sector. The state generally does not interfere with the inflow and outflow of capital. It
incentivizes businesses by providing favorable tax exempts, subsidies, provision of land at low
price, exemption of custom duties on export etc. (Al A, 2007)
In line with Saudi Arabia, Malaysian economy is also marked with investor friendly business
environment. During 1970s, when Malaysian economy was primarily based on mining and
agriculture, govt. took diversification measures backed with centralized planning. During 70s to
90s like other Asian Tigers, Malaysia recorded a strong economic growth. In the present time
also govt.plays a pivotal role in the economy but gradually it is reducing. One of the remarkable
features of Malaysia economy is availability of easy credits.
In order to do a comparative analysis of business environment in Malaysia and Saudi Arabia,
“Doing business ranking” will be used. It is a ranking prepared by World Bank and
International Finance Organization. Economies are ranked on their ease of doing business from

is more conducive to start and operate of a local firm. This index averages the country's
percentile rankings on 10 topics, made up of a variety of indicators, giving equal weight to each
topic. The rankings for all economies are benchmarked to June 2011. (Doing business, 2012)

Transportation
A good transportation network, especially high volume of private motor vehicles ensure the
growth and development of out of town hyper markets. In the absence of motor vehicle people
tend to visit nearby retail stores only.
A well-developed transport and logistics network does not only help in sales but also ensures
better functioning of big hyper market chains. In the absence of good logistic, big hypermarket
chains are unlikely to import and circulateretail items in large volume effectively.

witnessing high annual growth. The high growth of the retail sector is fuelled by higher
disposable income, high percentages of youth and vibrant tourism sectors.
Malaysia is considered as a high middle income country where as Saudi Arabia on account of
high oil and natural gas reserve is one of the rich nations in the world. Marked with high per

Both are luring big retail brands to operate in their country. Saudi Arabia is a better destination
than Malaysia in terms of a number of ease of doing business parameters such as – dealing
with construction permit, getting electricity, registering property, taxation etc. Malaysia’s
strength lies in the easy credits and high FDI in retail; 70 % against 49 % in Saudi Arabia
Malaysia has better infrastructure, logistic as well as telecommunication infrastructure, both
considered as a backbone for developing a vibrant retail sector. Saudi Arabian strength lies in
availability of gasoline at dirt cheap price and high availability of electricity.
