    An attractive city from a retail point of view is one that commands a purchasing power level higher than what is available to the local population. A city’s retail drawing power can be measured by comparing local demand (GfK Retail Purchasing Power) with retail turnover (GfK Retail Turnover). This yields the Retail Centrality, which is a gauge of the economic attractiveness of a city or region.

    There is a direct association between retail centrality ratings for a given location and the in- and outflow of consumers and purchasing power from this location. GfK Retail Centrality thus provides an objective benchmark for identifying the regions, cities and urban neighborhoods with purchasing power levels sufficient to sustain and grow a business.

  • GfK Retail Purchasing Power

    geodata_icon_retail_pp

    Retailer success depends on the level of consumer potential for traditional and mail-order retail in an area of interest. GfK Retail Purchasing Power is a measure of this potential for all regions of a given country. The data reveals the amount of general purchasing power available for spending in retail and mail-order retail. General purchasing power is defined as the sum of the population’s net income as measured as consumers’ places of residence.

    When it comes to planning and evaluating existing locations, managing sales operations, and strategizing marketing campaigns, retail purchasing power is significantly more valuable than general purchasing power, because consumers with high incomes do not necessarily spend more on retail purchases.
