Where We Stand Indian retail is fragmented with over 12 million outlets where as 0.9 million outlets in USA, caters to more than 13 times of the total Indian retail market size India has the highest number of outlets per capita in the world - but with the lowest per capita retail space (@ 2 sq. ft. per person) Annual turnover of Wal-Mart (Sales in 2001 were $219 billion) is higher than the size of Indian retail industry. [Almost 100 times more than the turnover of HLL, India's largest FMCG company] Number of employees in Wal-Mart are about 1.3 million where as the entire Indian retail industry employs about three million people. Developed economies like the U.S. employ between 10 and 11 percent of their workforce in retailing (against 7 percent employed in India today). 60% of retailers in India feel that the multiple format approach will be successful here whereas in US 34 of the fastest-growing 50 retailers have just one format The U.S. retail sector has an average inventory turns ratio of about 18. Many Indian retailers KPMG surveyed have inventory turns levels between 4 and 10. Global best-practice retailers can achieve more than 95 percent availability of all SKUs on the retail shelves (i.e. a stock-out level of less than 5%). The stock-out levels among Indian retailers surveyed ranged from 5-15%
