One of the markets that has attracted several MNC retail
chains is China.
Though the average consumer spending per capita is low compared to more
developed markets, the strong growth of over 10% per annum in consumer spending
per head and the huge size of the market make China very attractive to the MNC
retail chains.3
With the Chinese government opening up the retail industry in 1991 and
introducing further reforms in the early 2000s, the attractiveness of the
Chinese market has increased manifold.

As of 2008, China is one of the largest retail markets in the
world. For the month of June 2008, retail sales in China touched a record
US$126.7 billion (864.2 billion Yuan4),
according to the China Chain Store & Franchise Association (CCFA).

After being adjusted for inflation, this represented
a growth of 14.8%.5
Not only was China one of the top retail markets by value, but it was
also one of the top retail markets in terms of its ability to attract
international retailers.
As of early 2008, around 40% of the international retailers were present
in China, earning it the ninth position among the top 10 retail markets
in terms of ability to attract international retailers (Refer to Table I
for the top 10 global retail markets)... |
