Why is Retail Important to the GCC Region?

Retail is a major source of income for the GCC region, and over the next year it will continue to evolve as a market as global supply chains return to their pre-COVID levels.

  • Tourists visiting super malls are a key source of income in particular, providing an opportunity for older malls to repurpose to meet demand
  • The growing eCommerce sector is causing an increase in demand for warehousing, port space, shipping and delivery

Key Topics to be Covered at the Summit and the Complimentary Cityscape Intelligence Live series

  • The impact of a growing trend in e-commerce within the region, and its effect on the traditional retail model
  • The potential oversupply of retail space/units (increase by 52% by 2025 to 51.9 million sqf in the UAE)
  • How do old malls repurpose their offering with introductions of new destination attractions?
  • The GCC and South Asia accounted for 50% of the revenue generated at Super and regional malls—what impact will new potential restrictions have on super projects such as Meydan Mall and Al Khail Mall?
  • What does the future of retail look like in the region?
  • Should investors and developers still look to the super mall projects or consider a more community-based retail experience?
