Every year, A.T. Kearney produces a Global Retail Development Index (GRDI):

“The 2015 GRDI reflects a retail environment in developing markets filled with exciting challenges. These markets continue to entice global retailers, which are still investing in building a long-term advantage. Even as they become more selective in their expansion strategies in new frontiers, retailers are clearly committing to the long haul.”
