Retail market comments
'Croatia’s grocery market is still relatively fragmented with a large proportion of small, independent stores.'

'Supermarkets and local convenience stores are the main formats. Cash & carry outlets have reached a period of stagnation following several years of growth.'

'Consolidation is taking place as leading retailers seek to expand their portfolios through acquisitions. International retailers are also stepping up their expansion in the region.'

'Strict government policy, such as the law forbidding Sunday trading for larger retailers, is discouraging for some foreign business.'

'The Sunday trading ban was introduced in 2004 but was quickly overruled following pressure from the retail chains.'
