IGD's guide to trading successfully in the growing international convenience retailing channel
Request a free sample extract here

 

Convenience retailing is a growth story across the globe, driven by socio-economic trends as well as retailer strategies. Continued globalisation and best practice transfer has brought the European, US and Japanese convenience retailing models closer together, resulting in differentiated format and service offers. Furthermore, the boundaries of convenience retailing are being ‘blurred’ by foodservice, discounters and on-line offers.
 

Understanding and effectively supplying this complex often fragmented sector is a key challenge for both suppliers and retailers. IGD’s Global Convenience Retailing – Maximising the Opportunity report debugs the complexities, highlighting the trading opportunities and detailing best practice from around the world. It contains the latest insight from IGD’s global convenience research programme and is as relevant for multinational organisations as for single market operators. Whilst global in outlook, this research contains best practice and identifies trends which will impact locally as well as globally.
