Travel Retail Market

Industry Outlook

The global travel retail sector is not limited to only airports; it also includes cruise lines, ferries, and ports. However, an airport still enjoys the pole position in the market and remains the dominant player in upcoming years. The retail travel market was valued at US$ 63.59 Bn in 2017. For the last two decades, the retail travel market has grown constantly, a trend that should continue between now and 2026. This growth can be explained by the combination of three factors

• The huge growth in numbers of people traveling, with levels expected to triple from 3.6 to 12 billion travelers between 2000 and 2030
• The rise of the middle-class population, especially in emerging countries such as China, India, and Brazil, among others: their numbers are expected to triple to approximately 5 billion people between 2000 and 2030
• Brands, retailers, and key transport-sector operators are continuously investing capital in order to maximize the capacity and quality of facilities in travel locations.

As a result, the retail travel market is expected to reach US$ 128.18 Bn by 2026, at a CAGR of 8.1% between 2018 and 2026. Since 2012, Asia Pacific has been a key region for the retail travel market because of the rising number of Chinese travelers going abroad; the number of travelers is expected to cross 120 Mn by 2020. In 2017, the region accounted for more than 30% of the global market share and is expected to dominate in upcoming years.

Market Synopsis

Growing demand for perfumes & cosmetics sub-segment by product category type is likely to propel the market in upcoming years.

In 2017, the perfumes & cosmetics segment accounted for the major market share and was expected to maintain its dominance over the forecast period. On the other hand, the wine & spirits and fashion & accessories segments followed the perfumes & cosmetics segment with a substantial market share in 2017. Furthermore perfumes & cosmetics segment is expected to witness the highest CAGR in upcoming years owing to increasing demand for branded products from Asia Pacific consumers.

Airport segment expected to dominate the retail travel market by sales channel throughout the forecast period

Though it has been observed that only 5-10% of the total number of travelers at the airport tend to visit duty-free shops, the airport segment accounted for over 50% market share of the global travel retail market in terms of market value in 2017. Market players are also paying more attention to the comfort and convenience of the customers coming to the airport. For instance, World Duty-Free Group’s Heathrow airportp organizes staffing and product displays per the flight schedule. This way, with the needed cultural sensitivities, staff speaking their language welcome passengers.

Growing demand from the Asia Pacific is projected to catapult the market growth.

Asia-Pacific travel retail market held the largest market value share in 2017. During the year, Asia Pacific witnessed an increase in sales by 9%, whereas other regions posted stagnant or negative growth. Asia-Pacific is also identified as the fastest-growing market in the upcoming years. Regional and global companies have been attracted to recent tenders of arrivals duty-free in China, Hong Kong, and South Korea. Although regional traffic trends in 2017 remain positive in the Asia Pacific, the year so far has seen pressure on the retail travel business in East Asia, surrounded by the suspension of Chinese travel to Korea. However, there is continued investment in airport and tourism infrastructure across the region, pointing to a bright future ahead.

Leading brands are aggressively looking for expansion.

As a part of strategic development, leading companies such as Revlon, Estee Lauder, Rituals Cosmetics, L’Oréal, and others with an exclusive and wide range of fragrances and skin care products; expanding their businesses by opening their outlets at every international airport. AerRianta International (ARI), China Duty-Free Group (CDFG), DFASS Group, DFS Group, Dufry AG, Gebr. Heinemann SE & Co. KG, King Power International Group, Lotte Group, Lagardère Group, The Nuance Group, and The Shilla Duty-Free, among others, are prominent global travel players retail market.
