Retail in the Czech Republic was heavily affected by the war in Ukraine, as energy costs soared and inflation climbed to double digits, a trend that has continued into 2023. The Czech economy has weakened substantially with consumers struggling to budget in the face of higher retail prices, which has curbed retail consumption. Even though volume sales decreased, current value growth has been underpinned by higher retail prices.

The Retail in Czech Republic report offers insight into key trends and developments driving the industry. The report examines all retail channels to provide sector insight. Channels include hypermarkets, supermarkets, discounters, convenience stores, mixed retailers, health and beauty retailers, clothing and footwear retailers, furniture and furnishing stores, DIY and hardware stores, durable goods retailers, leisure and personal goods retailers.

There is also analysis of non-store retailing: vending; homeshopping; internet retailing; direct selling, as available.
