Understanding consumers' lifestyles, hobbies, ages and the places they go to, in order to attract a very specific sector of the population, is fundamental to reduce the risk in the investments made for the opening of new specialty stores.
For some years now, the retail sector has been undergoing a transformation, which has been driven by changes in consumer habits and the rise of e-commerce.
Meeting the demands of consumers who increasingly seek responsibility in the production chain and balancing sales between physical and digital formats are part of the challenges faced by businesses in Panama.
The CEO and president of Grupo Rey, Hernán Muntaner, points out that globally the sales of modern channels such as hypermarkets and supermarkets are decreasing, giving way to other forms such as online channels and discount stores.
With the aim of strengthening the legal framework for electronic commerce and facilitating the management of certifications, the Electronic Commerce Association was created in Guatemala.
The new chamber will be able to affiliate all types of companies, and its main purposes are strengthening entrepreneurship, specialized training through certifications, and the promotion of rules and legal regulations for the sector.
Despite growing by 3.39% year on year in April, ending the downward trend seen in the growth rate, the commercial sector reported a weakening of sales.
A report by the Bank of Guatemala notes that"...up to April 2016 economic activity, measured by estimating the IMAE, increased by 3.4% (3.0% in April 2015).This result was driven by the positive performance seen mainly in the following economic activities: Manufacturing Industries; Wholesale and Retail sales; Financial, intermediation, insurance and auxiliary activities; private services; Transport, storage and communications; and supply of electricity and water collection.
