NAI Ukraine is striving to support the international real estate industry, as well we want to pay attention to the unique situation in Ukraine. Ukraine is ahead of many countries in terms of retail sales growth, in September 2020 it accounts for 11,6 % in comparison with the previous year, and it is twice higher growth than the performance of China and the USA. The main reason is absence of travel shopping, which allowed to keep USD3.8 bln for 2 quarters inside the country, that, along with deferred demand, contributed to the outstanding sales growth.

Despite the fact that the consumer model is changing and decreasing in the frequency of visits, careful choice of shopping location, we are witnessing an increase in average check. As for 9 months of 2020 retail turnover reached USD 31 bln and it is going to be raised by 11 % till the end of the year.

Moreover, we are expecting popularization of main trends on the retail real estate market of Ukraine: transit-oriented real estate, multifunctional complexes, super-regional shopping and entertainment centers.
