The June 2012 issue focuses on Qatar’s retail real estate sector. Though retail space is increasing by leaps and bounds, so is demand, catalysed by double-digit GDP growth from growing energy sales and infrastructure development, a rise in per capita income, and the resultant higher disposable incomes. Retail growth in Qatar is set on a high growth trajectory over the next decade leading to the soccer World Cup 2022.
Abu Dhabi, the capital of the UAE, faces a shortage of retail facilities and a trade outflow to Dubai. For the past several years, the capital has never been able to match Dubai’s

The brand Dubai has grown phenomenally, and today it is spoken about in the same breath as more established cities like London, New York, Paris, Singapore and others. In Euromonitor International’s Top 100 City  Destinations Ranking for 2019, Dubai is named the first Middle East cityand seventh-most visited city in the world.

As Expo 2020 Dubai draws closer, the city is all set to woo the world. Expo 2020 Dubai is forecast to boost the country’s economy by $33.4 billion and support more than 900,000 jobs between 2013 and 2031. During the peak six-month period from October 2020 to April 2021 of the  World Expo, the most significant event to be held in the Arab World ispredicted to add the equivalent of 1.5% to UAE GDP.

The visitor spending on tickets, merchandise, food and beverage, hotels, flights and local transport will propel economic activity. Expo 2020 Dubai expects 25 million visitors, with 70% coming from outside the UAE, providing the hospitality industry with a rewarding opportunity to show the world what the UAE has to offer.

From November 2013 – when Dubai won the bid to host the Expo – until its opening in October 2020, the economic impetus is largely driven by the construction sector. The work continues on the site and supporting infrastructures such as roads, bridges and the Dubai Metro Route 2020 line. Crucially, small and medium enterprises, a core component of the UAE economy, will receive AED 4.7 billion in investment during the pre-Expo phase.

In this issue we look at some of the leading players in the sweets and confectionery business. The region is ranked among the top 10 global markets for sweets and confectionery products, with high per capita consumption. 
The giftware market is another growing sector with an estimated value of over $3 billion that is growing steadily, attracting leading suppliers from Europe, the US, Asia and, of course, the Middle East. Dubai serves as a fulcrum for the regional giftware trade.

The kingdom is the largest – and one of the fastest growing – real estate markets in the MENA region, with strong GDP growth, stable domestic demand and favourable demographics characterised by a young population.  

Following up on  A T Kearney’s annual global retail development report in our last issue, where we focused on the retail scenario in the Middle East and Africa region, we now move on to countries in Latin America, Asia-Pacific, Central Asia and Eastern Europe.

The July-August 2012 issue focuses on global retail and the Middle East and Africa markets.
