Retail market comments
'The Austrian grocery retail market is worth approx €18.6bn, accounting for 40% of the total retail market.'

'The most significant change in the market over the past decade has been the decline of the superettes and traditional grocers, as the major retailers have become a more dominant force.'

'The discount sector remains one of the fastest growing sectors in Austria. The hard discount format is the preferred format of Lidl and Aldi, whilst Rewe and Tengelmann operate a softer discount format.'

'The Austrian market is dominated by German retailers, largely due to the linguistic, cultural and historical links between the two countries.'

'There is still a general ban on Sunday trading, although this is lifted in some major tourist areas.'
