According to a study by GT Partners Ukraine, in the previous year Ukrainian retailers opened 430 outlets, most of them (300 stores) in seven largest networks of the country:
“ATB-Market” – 156 stores
Fozzy Group – 45 stores
“Nash Krai” (“Our Land”) – 33 stores
“Eco-market” – 20 stores
Varus – 14 stores
“Rukavichka” (“Mitten”) – 13 stores
“Retail Group” – 12 stores.
“The most dynamically developing types of retail are discounters and “convenience stores”. Less supermarkets are opening, because this segment is oversupplied,” – said Igor Gouglya, General Director of GT Partners Ukraine.
By the experts’ forecast for 2013, the most attractive region for development will be Eastern Ukraine and Kiev.
