Shopping tourism
The fashionable lifestyle and five-star culinary adventures are garnering the attention of travelers from around the globe to Sweden. Also, tourism is the fastest-growing industry in Sweden. This has had a significant impact on the retail sector and shopping culture in the region. Revenues from international visitors have doubled in the last five years and visitor volumes have increased faster than the European average. This trend can be observed in Stockholm, where luxury brands compete for the affluent travelers attention.
Growth of e-tail
Online sales account for a sizeable portion of the total retail sector sales. Items including consumer electronics, clothes, and books tops the list of most sold of items through e-tail. The consumers in Sweden also indulge in shopping from international sites, especially in the case of fashion items and accessories.
Opportunities for different retail segments
Sweden is well suited to new retail concepts and there are several opportunities available in most segments in the retail sector. The retail market here is unregulated, proving to be highly favorable to international retailers. However, as the global retail industry has expanded rapidly into new markets, the Swedish and Nordic markets have been relatively untapped by international retailers. Traditionally, domestic, and Scandinavian brands have dominated the country, but in recent years new brands have entered the market with further expansion plans. There have been a number of new openings during the last five years. There is also an increasing interest from premium brands among retail sector consumers in the region.
Additionally, several international food and beverage players are also increasingly entering the market.Sweden is well suited to new retail concepts and there are several opportunities available in most segments in the retail sector.
