Summary

Introduction

Verdict Research: Romania's accession to the EU in 2007 has put the country on many retailer's' radars for international expansion. While the retail sector is still very much in a stage of development, modern retail formats such as hypermarkets are becoming more and more prevalent in larger towns and cities. Opportunities lie in greater regional expansion.

Highlights

Following Romania's accession to the EU, more foreign retailers are beginning to appreciate the increasing levels of political stability of the country and its strong future growth prospects.
With a population of 21.5m, the country is the second most populous in the CEE region after Poland. There is a lot of potential for retailers to grow operations in the country and expand into smaller urban centres.
