The India Retail Report 2009 compiled by research group Images F&R Research is again optimistic about Indian Retail Industry. As per the report, spiralling income and rising economic growth (I don’t know where it is) will fuel the growth of industry and it will touch Rs. 18,10,000 crore by 2010. Organized Retail is expected to constitute 13% of it i.e. Rs. 2,30,000 crore. The report says that though people are perceiving that organized retail will hit mom & pop format hard, but modernizing retail will generate employment for 15 million people in different activities.
The report is based on rising economic growth rate of 8-9 per cent and a hike in average salaries by about 15 per cent which may trigger the rate of consumption. But with subprime crisis in US, Indian companies are also affected in big way, and even stock market is suffering. We hear news of cost cutting and layoffs daily. So, I don’t know how far it is right to believe growth rate of 8-9% and hike of 15%.
Food and grocery dominated the retail segment with 59.5 per cent share valued at Rs 7,92,000 crore, followed by clothing and accessories with a 9.9 per cent share at Rs 1,31,300 crore.

with over 33% of the population below 15 and a rise in the consumer spending india is poised to take a leap forward in the retail segment.no doubt it has been hit a little by the meltdown with indian exports suffering,but its all a temporary phase,with india being least affected due to its high domestic demand.
afterall every cloud has a silver lining and every night is followed with optimism of daylight
cheers……

Would like to understand whether this industry will be a good paying industry >>>>If you have margin structure would request you to make us understand what net margin can be expected and by when…why so many retailers are in bad shape…what went wrong..

Dear Sandeep,
Could not particularly understand your query on “good paying” and “net margins expected”. Would request you to post the query in specifics for the team to help you solve it.
Individual product categories have different margins and each vertical is treated differently. If you look at employability, retail is definately right there in the top and consolidation is what retailers are doing, http://bimtech-retail.com/blog/2009/expansion-or-consolidation/ as suggested by Rajeev.
