India Retail Sector Report 2016/2017

The growth of India's retail sector was driven by positive demographic trends, an ongoing urbanisation and a growing middle class. In FY2016 trade accounted for 9.5% of the country’s GDP and attracted 9.7% of total FDI, while providing work for around 8% of the workforce. Yet, organised trade remains at a nascent stage of development which, coupled with the expectations for a robust increase in consumerspending, outlines a huge growth potential for the sector. Retail sales are set to nearly double in value to reach USD 1.3tn by FY2020, up from USD 672bn in FY2016. Consultancy A.T. Kearney ranked India as the second most attractive developing country for retail investment in the world in 2016, highlighting its large market size, low saturation levels and moderate political and economic risks.
