In this issue

India Shoes & Accessories Accessories held along side India Fashion Forum has been a tremendous success, giving tangible shape to the aspirations of the fashion sector, while underlining its significance as the most important trade fair for lifestyle & fashion in India. India Fashion Forum placed major emphasis on the variety and high quality fashion brands and products that could and should take center stage at stores all over the world.

In this issue we share with you an insightful report by JLL - Destination Retail 2016. This report looks at the city magnets for retail globally, drivers of expansion, opportunities and barriers. The research has examined the presence of 240 international retail brands across 140 key retail cities; these cities combined account for 36% of the world’s GDP and over US$15 trillion of consumers spend. Excerpts form the report: Growth and expansion, but not as we knew it... Population growth, rapid urbanization and wealth creation are fuelling international retailer expansion, but robust or stellar growth is not always guaranteed. A recent slowdown in emerging markets has reined in some retailers’ plans for expansion. That’s not saying emerging markets are not targets, as they absolutely are, but thorough due diligence and managing risk is key to success, as much in growth mar- kets as in any mature established market. After a few years of expansion strategies focused on targeting Asia, we are seeing signs of a more balanced pattern of international retailer expansion globally, across established and emerging retail markets. Demand for the right physical space in the right location is stronger than ever.
