This is the fifteenth comprehensive study of the Australian retail market undertaken by BIS Shrapnel.

The report focuses on the main classes of institutional investment in the retail sector. Prospects for regional and sub-regional shopping centres are specifically considered.

The overall structure of retailing in Australia is examined, and possible future changes are investigated—such as the impact of online retailing.

The report:

• identifies the key drivers of demand and forecasts demand state by state over the next 10 years
• examines trends in supply and forecasts retail construction by state over the next 10 years
• discusses how the balance of demand and supply is reflected in rents, centre incomes and values and forecasts each of these variables
• provides information fundamental to investment strategy decisions.
