How Global is the Business of Retail?

Now in its 10th year, CBRE’s How Global is the Business of Retail? report identifies the target markets of international retailers globally.

International retailers targeted a wide range of new markets in 2016. 89% of surveyed cities saw at least one new international brand enter. Retailer activity increased by 2% in 2016, down from the 3.1% increase registered last year, indicating a slowdown in retailers’ global expansion. The vast majority of the top 15 cities targeted by retailers for the first time last year are mature markets.
