Summary

Introduction

Verdict Research: Rampant macroeconomic growth and increased purchasing power levels have boosted retail expenditure in Slovakia. Strong retail growth has attracted some of Europe's largest retailers to the rapidly developing market. While hypermarkets and discounters are already reaching saturation point, opportunities lie in the burgeoning convenience sector and regionalisation.

Proprietary data on market value and growth. 2002-2007 data for six different retail sectors and overall value data for Slovakia.

The brief includes market shares for leading retailers in grocery and an evaluation of non- food players and their operating strategies.

Highlights

Retail expenditure has been buoyant across all sectors in Slovakia on the back of strong macroeconomic growth and real wage growth, which has boosted disposable incomes in the country. Retail development really kicked off at the turn of the century with the entry of Europe's largest retailers including Tesco, Rewe, Kesa Electricals and IKEA.

The expansion of large international chains established the hypermarket as a prominent retail format in the country. At the same time, the first modern shopping malls were opened on the peripheries of Bratislava, which attracted further attention of international players looking to tap into the growing retail market

While Slovakia's largest cities are becoming saturated, there are still significant opportunities for retailers to develop their presence in smaller urban centres. As Slovakia prepares to join the Euro in January 2009, the prospects are bright for retailers in CEE's brightest economic star.
