Boston, MA -- (ReleaseWire) -- 06/02/2014 --The good performance of the Peruvian economy in 2013, allied to growing access to credit cards, continued to encourage Peruvian consumers to purchase non-essential items, such as apparel products. Moreover, leading retailers focused on expanding their consumer base through efficient segmentation and offering significant discounts to bring more consumers into their stores. As a result, sales of apparel and footwear specialist retailers increased by 9% in current value terms in 2013.

Competitive Landscape

Apparel specialist retailers remained highly fragmented and very competitive in 2013. For instance, there was strong competition from informal retailers, who sold their products near open markets or in stands located within shopping centres, such as Polvos Azules, Polvos Rosados and Gamarra. Both formal and informal retailers were located in these shopping centres and appealed to a large base of low and middle income consumers. In addition, apparel specialist retailers faced competition from department stores and hypermarkets, which offered private label products at attractive prices. In contrast, apparel retailers targeted higher income consumers, with outlets located within modern shopping centres or in high-traffic areas in upper income districts.
