    Recent Trends

    Experimentation with formats: Retailing inIndia is still evolving and the sector is witnessinga series of experiments across the country withnew formats being tested out. Ex. Quasi-mall,sub-urban discount stores, Cash and carry etc.

    Store design : Biggest challenge for organizedretailing to create a customer-pull environment

    that increases the amount of impulse shopping.Research shows that the chances of sensesdictating sales are upto 10-15%. Retail chainslike MusicWorld, Baristas, Piramyd and Globusare laying major emphasis & investing heavily instore design.

    Emergence of discount stores: They areexpected to spearhead the organized retailingrevolution. Stores trying to emulate the model ofWal-Mart. Ex. Big Bazaar, Bombay Bazaar,RPGs.

    Unorganized retailing is getting organized: Tomeet the challenges of organized retailing suchas large Cineplex's, and malls, which are backedby the corporate house such as 'Ansals' and'PVR the unorganized sector is gettingorganized. 25 stores in Delhi under the banner ofProvision mart are joining hands to combinemonthly buying. Bombay Bazaar and Efoodmartformed which are aggregations of Kiranas.

    Recent changes:

    Unorganized: Vast majority of the twelve million

    stores are small "father and son" outlets

    Fragmented:Mostly small individually owned

    businesses, average size of outlet equals 50 s.q.

    ft. Though India has the highest number of retailoutlets per capita in the world, the retail space

    per capita at 2 s.q. ft per person is amongst the

    lowest.

    Rural bias:Nearly two thirds of the stores are

    located in rural areas. Rural retail industry has

    typically two forms: "Haats" and Melas". Haats

    are the weekly markets : serve groups of 10-50villages and sell day-to-day necessities. Melas

    are larger in size and more sophisticated in terms

    of the goods sold (like TVs)

    Traditionally three factors have plaguedthe retail industry:
