Additional report highlights:

China, the second largest global economy, with a population of 1.36bn, has huge potential for retailers. Driving spending is the rise of the urban middle classes and higher disposable incomes, as the population moves from unskilled rural and manufacturing jobs to more skilled work and urban living. Lifestyles are changing as a result, and consumerism is a growing trend.
Retailers are moving from tier one cities into second, third, and fourth tier cities, such as Chengdu and Suzhou, and expanding from the west into eastern China. Increasing prosperity, changing lifestyles, and access to international brands have changed the way the upper middle class and affluent Chinese consumers shop.

With a population who prefer to shop locally and not drive to out of town hypermarkets, convenience retailers and local supermarkets play a big part in the food & grocery sector.
