New Market Report: Retailing in Germany

Improving macroeconomic conditions, rising consumer confidence, increasing disposable incomes and declining rate of unemployment are among the major factors driving the growth of retail sector in Germany. The retail sector grew by 1.6% in 2014 and is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 2.1% over the next five years. Consumers are increasingly looking for value and convenience. The increasing number of single households and an aging population are forcing retailers to adapt to these new demands from consumers.

However, negative population growth and impending deflation might affect the long term prospects for retail.
