The first day of the C-star retail forum has started with an impressive line-up of retail experts from all over the world and attracted a international audience of retail professionals. Prof. Helmut Merkel, an acknowledged expert of the global retail scene and widely recognized for his analysis of Chinese retail, explained the most driving changes in the market. Malls are the most common retail environments of the world now, he stated, and department stores have lost their leading role. Furthermore supermarkets experience a revitalization for their upgraded busines models and discount formats are developing in all categories, but hypermarkets are in danger. According to Merkel the century for online retail has only just started but has already become a thread for all other retail formats.
