Fast Market Research recommends "Mixed Retailers in Finland" from Euromonitor International, now available

Boston, MA -- (SBWire) -- 01/21/2015 --Declining by 1% in current value terms in 2014, mixed retailers were undermined by a poor economic climate in Finland as well as growing sales via internet retailing. The decline was due to a poor performance for department stores, which suffered from several store closures and a declining number of consumers during the year.

Competitive Landscape

Stockmann leads mixed retailers, accounting for 29% of value sales in 2014. This is due to its prestigious Stockmann department stores chain, which is well known in Finland. The chain's flagship outlet in central Helsinki is a popular shopping destination for tourists, especially from Russia, with Russians notably able to pay for purchases with roubles. Although many of the products sold by Stockmann are mid-priced to premium it also offers luxury brands such as Gucci, including the Gucci jewellery range.

Industry Prospects

Decline is however expected to soften in comparison to the review period, which saw 4% decline. Sales are expected to be bolstered slightly by a slow economic recovery in the forecast period.
