The Industry organized retail sector, which consists of only 5% of total retail market, is estimated to touch 15% by 2025. the sector is characterised by footfalls & conversions. Footfalls means the number of people who visit the mall & conversion means the number of footfalls who open their wallet. An Increase in tax break by the government will increase disposable income of public thereby boosting the consumption. According to a study carried out by the Indian Council for Research on International Economic Relations (ICRIER), the traditional retail sector will account for 84 percent share of the total retail market till 2013 while the organized retail will account for only 16 percent of the total Indian retail market. India has few organized players like Pantaloon Retail, Shoppers Stop, Vishal Retail, Koutons, Trent, Subhiksha, Reliance Retail, More, Spencer’s etc. Pantaloon is fairly diversified player in terms of location and retail segments.
