Research and Markets: Global Airport Retailing- The Middle East & Africa Was the Fastest Growing Region over the Five Years with Sales Reaching $2.7bn In 2010

DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/7f3dce/global_airport_ret) has announced the addition of the "Global Airport Retailing: Market Size, Retailer Strategies and Competitor Performance" report to their offering.

“Global Airport Retailing: Market Size, Retailer Strategies and Competitor Performance”

Global airport retailing has bounced back from an unprecedented decline in sales experienced in 2009. With growth of 14.0%, Asia Pacific is set to be the star performer in 2010 propelled by favorable macroeconomic and demographic factors and investment in airport infrastructure. Global Airport Retailing outlines regional expenditure, five year forecasts and profiles of ten retail groups.

Scope:

• Make informed regional investment decisions with data on expenditure per region for 2005-2010e and forecasts to 2015 with accompanying analysis.
• Benchmark your company's performance by accessing profiles of ten key airport retailers including key operating statistics and global market shares.
• Maximise the effectiveness of marketing investments by uncovering the strategies being used by the most prominent players in global airport retailing.

Highlights:

• The Middle East & Africa was the fastest growing region over the last five years with sales reaching $2.7bn in 2010. The key to this growth has been Dubai, which over the last 25 years has transformed itself into a leading hub in the international aviation network through sustained investment to create world leading passenger facilities.
• Already the most valuable category, with sales of $8.1bn, beauty will achieve the fastest growth over the next five years, driven by strong demand in Asia and exclusive promotions on leading brands. Alcohol and tobacco will experience relatively weak growth with the potential for tobacco limited by trading restrictions.
• The alternative to building a global network of airport retail operations for operators is to develop off-airport revenue, a strategy pursued by LVMH-owned DFS and Korea's Lotte Duty Free. Having built a luxury proposition, DFS has shifted the focus of its tax and duty free stores from airports to downtown- and resort-based locations.
