As industrialized countries around the world plateau economically, retailers often look for opportunities in developing countries. But, where should they look? One great source of information is A.T. Kearney.

Annually, A.T. Kearney produces a Global Retail Development Index (GDRI). This Index:

“ranks the top 30 developing countries for retail expansion worldwide. The Index analyzes 25 macroeconomic and retail-specific variables to help retailers devise successful global strategies and to identify developing market investment opportunities. The GRDI is unique because it identifies today’s most successful markets and those that offer the most potential for the future.”
