Na sektor ten składają się w dużej mierze małe, lokalne przedsiębiorstwa. Spośród 44 tys. firm zajmujących się sprzedażą hurtową i detaliczną w Irlandii 86% zatrudnia poniżej 10 osób i ma irlandzkich właścicieli. Malejący popyt wewnętrzny i wydatki konsumentów irlandzkich (od 2008 r.) są dla sektora detalicznego rosnącym wyzwaniem, co przekłada się na spadające zatrudnienie (o 47 tys. osób z 314 tys. w 2008 r.). Ogólna wartość sprzedaży, od szczytu w 2007 r., spadła o 18%, szczególnie takich artykułów, jak meble i oświetlenie (-55%), samochody (-50%), sprzęt i art. elektryczne (-38%). Nawet tradycyjnie stabilna wartość sprzedaży art. spożywczych zmalała o 6%. W 2012 r. odnotowano dalszy, acz niewielki spadek sprzedaży na poziomie -2%. Po najgorszym okresie kryzysu nastroje konsumentów wydawały się już polepszać i w sierpniu 2012 r. wskaźnik KBC/ESRI Consumer Sentiment Index osiągnął najwyższą od pięciu lat wartość, jednak od tego czasu znów skłonność do konsumpcji nieznacznie pogorszyła się. Badanie przeprowadzone przez firmę FMI dla ShelfLife w sierpniu 2012 r. wskazało, iż niemal połowa konsumentów kieruje się ceną przy wyborze produktu, a 71% kupuje irlandzkie produkty chcąc wspierać zatrudnienie w Irlandii.

    Q1 2017 www.retailexcellence.ie to the QUARTER 1 2017 Welcome edition of Retail Times With hopefully a busy Christmas Season upon us and 2017 approaching fast I am very aware of the fact that many of our members are deeply concerned regarding the potential impact of Brexit on the Irish Retail Industry. The current devaluation of Sterling is already having a negative impact on retail sales. The most damaging scenario for Ireland would be the Unite d Kingdom exiting both the EU and also the single European market. Such an exit could lead to a prohibition on the free movement of people and goods between our countries which would be incredibly damaging to both economies. In order to protect and promote the interests of our growing membership Retail Excellence are delighted to announce that former Senator and qualified barrister Lorraine Higgins has joined us as head of Public Affairs and Communications. Lorraine is from a retailing background and is very well regarded in political circles. Lorraine’s primary focus will be to present our agendas to Government and promote the importance of the retail industry to the national economy. I am sure you all join me in welcoming Lorraine to Retail Excellence. Retail Excellence has recently unveiled a n ew brand, logo and identity. This striking new logo clearly sets out our primary objective – to empower our industry to be the very best. For 2017 I am very pleased to confirm that we will host Ireland’s largest Retail Industry Event - the “This Is Retail Retreat” on 9th and 10th of May.
