Study Overview
A shopping centre is a group of 20 shops in a surface of at least 5,000 m² of usable commercial area. It is designed and used as a single entity. Gloablly, the shopping centre market is dominated by Asia in terms of m² of surface area. The market is in full bloom as consumer spending increases amid higher GDP globally, and new projects are built together with the renovation of exisiting structures to meet this demand. In France, it was the opening of "Parly 2" and "Cap 3000" in 1969 that marked the real expansion of American-style shopping centres. The shopping centre is integrated into larger cities as a place for new districts to arise. Examples of this includes La Défense or Aulnay in the Paris region, but also La Part-Dieu in Lyon, Mériadeck in Bordeaux or La Bourse in Marseille. [Toute La Franchise] Today, France has the second highest amount of shopping centres (1,250) in Europe after the United Kingdom, and the expansion of new centres is in full bloom. However, as competition has become more fierce, overall revenue in the sector is down. Amid a more fragmented market structure, new business models tied to shopping centres have arised, including retail parks and hybrid structures. COVID-19 has had a detrimental effect on short-term sales; Procos reports that sales for shopping centres in France dropped by 94% between April 2019 and April 2020. The industry is yet to prove of a significant bounceback coming out of this crisis.
