DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/j5vrz5/top_five_global) has announced the addition of the "Top Five Global Retail Companies: Performance, Strategies, and Competitive Analysis" report to their offering.
The global retail industry has weathered the recession and experienced good growth during the last five years. The industry, which is expected to continue its growth momentum, is forecast to approach $19,000 billion in revenue for 2017 with a CAGR of 3.9% over the next five years. Lucintel, a leading global management consulting and market research firm, has conducted a competitive analysis of the global retail companies and presents its findings in Top Five Global Retail Companies: Performance, Strategies, and Competitive Analysis. The report provides detailed insight into the performance of the top five retail companies in the world. The analysis highlights the companies that are performing the best among the peer group, and in which areas, and therefore clarifies leading performance standards and the strengths and weaknesses of the companies covered.
The retail industry, which is highly fragmented, encompasses apparel and accessories, food and beverages, technology, home improvement, specialty, drugs, and others. Asia dominates this industry and factors such as rising income and consumer spending influence market dynamics significantly.
In this study, Lucintel thoroughly profile following five companies with detailed competitive assessments:
- Wal-Mart
- Carrefour
- CVS Caremark
- Tesco PLC
- Costco Wholesale Corporation
Lucintel's research indicates that retail companies are approaching market opportunities with starkly different strategies. Key marketing strategies taken by top players such as e-marketing and direct promotion are likely to drive the market. Favorable demographics, rising disposable income and population, and increasing urbanization in India and other emerging economies may result in robust growth. Europe is a smaller market, but increases in GDP per capita in emerging economies point to good growth potential for the future.
