Consumption and Retailing  
After years of thriving activity, the market of the European and North American retail distribution is getting saturated. Consequently, all major players of this sector struggle to conquer new emerging markets. Russia (along with China and India), has been named as the most prospective country for investment and developing business for the next few years.

Turkish retail food chain Ramstore was the first to open its doors for Russian consumers in 1997. Since then the number of food retailers has grown considerably. After the 1998 Russian financial crisis, food companies were the first to conquer the Russian market. Several years later, when these retailers got confident in a purchasing power and consumption habits of Russians, there appeared other retail outlets. We assist our clients on different stages of their development on the Russian market: canvassing, market research, market and competitive intelligence, search for partners and local distributors, etc. Besides, we continuously monitor Russian distribution market and regularly update our analysis.
