"Russian Food and Non Food Retail Forecast (2007-2011)”, the latest report from RNCOS, a leading market research company, is a systematic and analytical study of the Russian retail industry. The report predicts that the Russian retail food industry would climb up at a CAGR of 14% during 2007-2011.
 
According to the report, Russia stands at second spot among the most attractive retail markets of the world. The food retail industry has shown visible sign of growth largely driven by the rising disposable income and unsaturated consumer market, besides the thrust by hypermarkets and large-scale supermarkets, mainly in cities like Moscow and St. Petersburg.
 
The growth is further boosted by few leading foreign retailers like Auchan and Metro, and also considerably by the domestic players who are experiencing rapid growth while becoming extremely proficient, despite increased penetration by foreign competitors. The report notifies the X5 Retail Group as the market leader in Russia. Though it has a small share, but the company is expanding rapidly witnessing solid growth in the country.
 
Although various companies are exploring the market, only a small number of international food retailers have their presence in Russia. The world's second largest grocery retailer, Carrefour (France), has also shown interest to enter the Russian market by the end of 2007, with focus on markets other than St Petersburg or Moscow by opening an expected 5-10 stores a year, similar to its Chinese strategy.
 
The research also highlights the opportunity area lying in the groups of small urban cities that are largely untouched by big players, despite the phenomenal growth of Russian food retail market in recent years and hence, have huge growth prospects.
