Abstract
Overview
Introduction
While consumers in many countries are cutting back their retail spending in
response to the worsening econmic climate, no such restraint is being shown at
airport retailers - they continue to benefit from rapid growth in the number
of air passengers and consumer enthusiasm for duty free shopping. This is
particularly true in emerging markets, especiallly China, India and the Middle
East.

Report Highlights
Global airport retailing is now a $27.1bn market and the fastest growing
channel in global retail aside from the Internet. While mainstream retailing
is experiencing a slowdown due to the credit crunch and squeezed disposable
incomes caused by the rising cost of living, growth in airport retailing
continues unabated.
Though global airport retailing will see strong growth across different
regions, the greatest opportunities will be in the emerging markets. Driven
both by an expanding number of affluent travellers having reasons to fly and a
growing culture of consumerism, there is huge scope for airport retailing in
these increasingly prosperous nations.
The Middle East & Africa has been hugely successful over the past five years.
Though a relatively minor market, with an 11.8% global share the Middle East &
Africa region has grown rapidly. The Middle East & Africa airport retailing
market was worth $3.2bn in 2007 and is set to remain the fastest growing
market over the next five years.
