In Indian documents, FY (fiscal) 2013 is also labeled FY12-13. The remaining nine months of calendar 2013, i.e. Apr-Dec, belong to fiscal year 2014. In order to better align with calendar years and make international comparisons more meaningful, in the Major Players section of this report, Emerging Markets Insight has chosen to label data by the year in which most of the result occurred. Unless otherwise stated, in the Major Players section of this report, 2012, for example, means the 12 months between Apr 1, 2012 - Mar 31, 2013, or what in India is referred to as fiscal 2013. This applies only to Indian companies and does not apply to companies with global operations, which may be presented in this report. When sources have not provided details on their year labeling policy, year labels in graphs featured in this report have been presented as provided by the source.

The total retail sector accounted for some 25% of GDP, while organized retail contributed some 2%, Technopak figures showed. The food and grocery segment accounted for more than half of the retail market, but claimed organized retail sales of between 2% (CRISIL) and 11% (Deloitte). The retail sector is one of the biggest employers in India with a nearly 24-million workforce, Technopak said. The country was the world’s 12th-largest consumer durables market in FY 2012 and is forecast to rank fifth-largest by FY 2025, IBEF said in Aug 2013. FDI Policy In Aug 2013, the Indian government relaxed the rules for Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in multi-brand retail in an attempt to woo investors, as no foreign multi-brand retailer has set up shop in India since 51% FDI in multi-brand retail was first permitted in the country in Sep 2012. FDI in multi- brand retail is a state subject and as per the policy, e-commerce is not allowed as an alternate channel as it can serve the customer beyond the physical location of the store, Deloitte India commented. Political changes in the state and central governments and the USD/INR currency fluctuation pose risks to foreign investment in retail in India. Challenges States in India differ in terms of culture, language, socio-economic development and spending power, so international retailers would need to customize their offerings to suit regional tastes, Deloitte India said. The choice of real estate suitable for large retail operations is very limited, which will be a major challenge to the corporatized retail’s ability to grow, Technopak pointed out. Real estate limitations may also give a boost to informal retail channels. To meet the FDI policy guidelines on sourcing and improve margins, foreign retailers would need to work with local manufacturers to create India-specific private label brands. Way Ahead Domestic retailers should focus on expanding their footprint not only in metropolitan areas, but also in towns with population of less than one million. Although foreign retailers have been allowed to operate in smaller cities since Aug 2013, they may reasonably be expected to prefer larger ones, leaving smaller urban and rural areas to domestic companies. While foreign retailers hunt for suitable retail spaces, domestic ones can apply accommodation flexibility and use their exclusive insight into the Indian consumption patterns to gain an edge over their global competitors. Issues that both local and foreign retailers will face include transportation and electricity supply challenges as well as finding skilled manpower.

Employment in this segment, referred to as independent retail, averages 1.5 employees per shop. These employees have no social security and no say on working conditions and wages, Technopak commented in an Oct 2012 paper on FDI in the Indian retail sector. Independent retail is expected to create more than nine million jobs over the next decade. Therefore, a labor policy that manages to bring this large informal workforce in an environment of formal employment is much needed.

  • Belgium March 2021
    Belgium March 2021 Executive Summary This country fact sheet provides key trade, investment, and tourism related statistics for Belgium. Specifically, it shows global trade and investment flows including an analysis of top markets and products for Belgium in relation to South Africa and the Western Cape, highlighting the largest and fastest growing products and sub-sectors. It also investigates tourism trends for Belgium as well as those between Belgium and South Africa. The key highlights in the fact sheet are provided below: Economy Belgium benefits from a strategic geographical position: the country is situated between the UK, Germany and France, Europe’s three main economies. Growth is driven by investment and household demand. However, the economic crisis caused by the Covid-19 pandemic has brutally curtailed growth, with the country recording a negative growth rate of 8.3% in 2020. According to the IMF's updated forecast from October 2020, GDP growth is expected to resume at 5.4% in 2021 and stabilise at 2.7% in 2022, subject to the post-pandemic global economic recovery. Trade In 2019, Belgium was the 14th largest global exporter of services, valued at USD120.94bn. However, Belgium’s global exports of services declined by an annual average growth rate of 0,41% between 2015 and 2019. Belgium was South Africa’s 11th largest global export market in 2019, with exports valued at USD2,40bn. In terms of imports, Belgium was the country’s 18th largest import market valued at USD887,87 in 2019. In the reviewed period, South Africa’s exports to Belgium were greater than imports, with the largest trade surplus of USD1,80bn in 2019.
