Abstract

Russia represents a large middle-income market with growing consumer
expenditure. The retail industry in Russia is in a good position as one of the
fastest growing industries in terms of value added. It is in the process of
consolidation with top national and regional chains generally outperforming
internationally experienced entrants in terms of revenue, profits, and the
number of stores.
Yet, doing business in Russia is perceived as rather complicated, so the
combination of market opportunities, entry barriers, and risks creates a truly
strategic puzzle. This report helps understand the trends and peculiarities
of the Russian business environment focusing on retail, one of the most
competitive, consumer-driven markets.
Rich in exclusively available data from executive surveys and corporate
strategies, this report
• presents key retail statistics with comments regarding possible
misinterpretations of the publicly available data
• summarises data for top retailers such as revenues, selling space,
and a P&L account
• highlights trends in shopping and consumer behaviour that are
specific to the Russian market
• describes four distinct winning strategies being implemented by the
Russian retailers
• suggests how to reduce exposure to adverse conditions of doing
business in Russia whilst enjoying its market opportunities
