"retail industry"

Central Food Retail under Central Retail creates another phenomenon in Thailand’s retail industry with the launch of ‘Tops CLUB’, a megaproject in retail, piloting with a Rama II location in late September this year.

The Thai Retailers Association (TRA) said yesterday that consumer spending is growing at a less than optimal rate in the first half of this year and has suggested that the government consider cutting taxes on luxury goods and launch campaigns such as a “Thailand Grand Sale” to attract tourists.

THE coming year will be another challenging one for retailers with a number of trends set to characterise the retail landscape, especially the emergence of digital technology and changes in shoppers’ behaviour that see them wanting more than just good products at attractive prices.

TODAY’S retail industry needs to provide stores that merge the physical and digital shopping experiences for customers, said Accenture’s managing director and grocery practice lead for Europe, Africa, and Latin America, Alberto Pozzi.

Central Pattana (CPN) today promoted its efforts in helping SMEs into the retail market in Thailand in response to digital trends through its “CPNlead” project.

THE MALAYSIAN retail industry recorded a 4.4 per cent fall in sales in the first quarter compared with 4.6 per cent growth in the same period a year ago, according to Retail Group Malaysia.

The ten members of the Thai Shopping Centres Association (TSCA) are investing Bt103 billion during 2015 and 2017, to boost their combined retail space to 14 million square metres.
