"Peru Retail Report Q2 2015" now available at Fast Market Research

Over our forecast period (2015-2019) , total household spending growth in Peru is set to accelerate, boding well for the retail sector and in turn providing ample opportunity for investment. Larger disposable incomes and a growing middle-class are key drivers behind this trend ; moreover, the country's commitment to free trade looks set to ensure that Peru remains one of the most open economies for foreign investment in the region.

In 2016, we forecast that net income per household will increase by 2.3% year-on-year and that household incomes will continue to rise in an upward projection until 2019. Significantly, this is leading to the emergence of a strong middle class as the number of households falling in the USD10,000-plus income bracket is set to rise by 85% over our forecast period. Higher incomes and stable inflation rates expected over the next five years will award consumers a larger amount of disposable income, a key driver behind our forecast that total household spending will continue to rise. Those households which remain in lower-income brackets are also enjoying more robust purchasing power due to the wider availability of credit, allowing for a greater amount of retail purchases to be made. The will allow for subsequent development of the retail sector and will provide ample opportunities for foreign investment.
