New Report Available: Peru Retail Report Q2 2016

The diversification of the ec onomy is helping the country avoid risks associated with falli ng commodity prices. The country's output is projected to post a strong average annual growth rate of 7.8% in US dollar terms , benefit ing the vast majority of households . We expect major spending shifts, with Peru's retail landscape increasingly resembling a developed market dominated by non-essentials spending.

Despite its relatively small size, the Peruvian economy has registered strong growth and BMI's forecasts that the economy will expand by an annual average rate of 7.8% through our 2015-2019 forecast period. Growth will be driven by the country's openness to trade, investment in infrastructure and mineral wealth, in particular deposits of copper, gold and silver. The service sector will be a key area of growth with more and more foreign companies looking to set up operations in Peru. Peru will remain one of the fastest growing economies in Latin America and retailers will have ample opportunity to benefit.

Household income has increased in tandem with growth in the economy. Average net household income is now USD6,980. Aggregate annual household spending now amounts to USD123bn and we forecast that it will expand to USD168bn by 2019. More households are set to move into the middle income bracket of USD10,000+, resulting in greater disposable incomes. The sector which attracts the most retail spending is the recreation and culture, which is set to rise to almost one-third by 2019. There will also be an increase in spending on education as the population puts more emphasis on education.
