MAPIC 2010 - Retail in France: a key market with remarkable prospects

For the French, 'savoir-vivre' means devoting a relatively high percentage (approx. 35%) of their disposable income to retail expenditures. Accordingly, France is one of Europe's largest retail markets, achieving a turnover of around €400 billion in 2009.

Because this high turnover is combined with a relatively moderate sales area provision (approximately 1.05 m2 per capita), France's retail sector is characterised by high sales area productivity.

This expert panel of appraisers, domestic and foreign retailers, retail investors and project developers look at retail opportunities in Paris and France's other cities and regions.
