In the coming years, the Nordic region will see an increase in international retail expansion.
According to a new JLL analysis, multinational retailer development in the Nordic area is expected to pick up in the next years. Despite tremendous market opportunity, the Nordic cities are virtually unexplored, according to JLL's Destination Nordics 2015 Report. For sale
Attractiveness of the Nordic areas to multinational
retailers:
In the medium run, Helsinki is anticipated to outperform the
Eurozone in terms of sales growth.
For multinational merchants, Stockholm is the most appealing
Nordic location.
The United Kingdom is the leading supplier of cross-border
retail fascias to the Nordic countries.
The Nordic region's international retailer expansion is
expected to expand in the next years, owing to population and retail sales
growth. The six important cities stand out as among of Europe's wealthiest,
displaying a high level of market maturity, durability, and development
possibilities, as well as real estate transparency and minimal risk.
"While many worldwide businesses continue to focus on
important locations in Western Europe, others are attempting to expand into new
areas. Those wishing to refocus their expansion strategy are increasingly
turning to the Nordics as a growth platform. The important Nordic towns have
drawn new entrants to their markets at a faster rate than cities in Western and
Southern Europe during the previous two years." JLL's Lead Director of
International Retail, James Dolphin, stated.
Up to fifty multinational retailers are aiming to target the
Nordic market in the next five years, with new projects like as the Mall of
Scandinavia and REDI joining the market and expanding supply. The Body Shop,
Lush, Oasis, Karen Millen, Mulberry, and Superdry are among the most popular
cross-border retail fascias in the Nordic area, with the United States and
Germany coming in second and third, respectively.
"Distribution of commodities and foreign currencies,
which were long considered major entrance obstacles, are gradually becoming
less of an issue. International brand competition is still very low, and newcomers
like as Boggi Milano, Michael Kors, and Louis Vuitton are enjoying
success." Dolphin was added to the mix.
"Stockholm is the most attractive retail destination in
the Nordics, thanks to its thriving market and affluent fashion-oriented
consumer base. It has been a record year for new brands in Sweden, and there is
currently high pressure to find store locations for the large number of
international brands wishing to enter the market. However, Oslo, the region's
most wealthy retail market, has received the greatest number of foreign
retailers in the last two years - but it is now hampered by a shortage of
supply. Meanwhile, in the medium term, Helsinki is anticipated to surpass the
Eurozone in terms of sales growth." JLL Sweden's Head of Retail Agency,
Martin Lindgren, stated.
