About this Report

About this Report

Store formats are always evolving, but with 2009 global retail growth forecasts revised down to 1%, finding the right format is more critical than ever. Discount concepts have widened their presence in-store and online, while tailored segmentation and service concepts are losing ground to formats which attract a wider spectrum of consumers. Retailers taking the initiative now could benefit from recession-led shifts in consumer behaviour even after the global economy recovers.
