Myanmar Retail Sector
In 2015 modern retail in Myanmar accounted for approximately 10 percent of the fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) segment, but as restraints on foreign retail chains entering the Myanmar market is expected to be lifted, and as local purchasing power grows, the demand for modern consumer goods is expected to rise. The McKinsey Global Institute predicted in a report from 2013 that Myanmar’s economy could quadruple by 2030, from around $45 billion to $200 billion. The report predicted a likewise increase in the consumer class spending capabilities with a yearly increase of $100 billion per year.
