In USA top 8 retailers contributed to 20 percent of the market in 2005 and over 85% of the retail trade is done by Organised retailers. In India it is currently at less than 5%. Given the healthy gdp growth rates and percapita income growth rates, all major US retail chains and also the big industrial houses in India like Reliance , Tatas, Birlas are eyeing to capture a big chunk of the retail revolution in coming years. For the customer this is expected to be very helpful thru better bargains and excellent world class retailing experiences. For the manufacturing / supplying companies this may mean reduction in their bargaining power which may reduce their margins, but they may also be able to save on reduced distribution costs and increasing penetration which can help in increasing their toplines and bottomlines.
