Russia Retail Sector Report 2017/2018

Russia is the ninth most populous country in the world and is among the largest consumer markets on a global scale. It is a commodity dependent economy as trade contributes about 20% to the country’s GDP. In recent years the retail sector in Russia is going through many difficulties. The deteriorating economic relations between Russia and the West due to bilateral sanctions, imposed since 2014 after the annexation of Crimea, resulted in a sharp drop in investments and devaluation of the rouble, which was affected also by the decreasing oil price on the global markets. High inflation and reduction in consumer spending reshaped the sector. Consumers are currently focused on staple goods, which provided an opportunity for the expansion of mass-market retailers and discounters.
