BİM and A101 competed among giants

Deloitte Turkey Retail Industry Leader Hande Özdiler Yılmazkaya who evaluated the report said ” Despite the loss of value of TL and experienced in the 2018 economic slowdown the, two companies from Turkey continued to be among the world’s largest retail companies. BİM achieved a growth of 22.2% between 2013 and 2018 and ranked 157 on the list. A101, which entered the list last year, ranked 4.11 with revenue of $ 4.1 billion and remained last year’s 5th place among the 50 fastest growing retailers. ”
Deloitte Consumer Industry Leader Özkan Yıldırım; ‘’We see that the top players in the retail industry continue to maintain their positions. The world economy, which slowed down in 2019, is showing signs of slowing down for 2020. Although the world economy is thought to achieve positive growth, players in this challenging environment need to increase their digital activities if they want to develop new business areas and markets. In 2019, predicting consumers’ expectations has become more important than ever. The protectionist policies implemented by countries in world trade are expected to continue in an environment of low inflation and borrowing costs. However, despite low borrowing costs, investment expenditures will remain relatively weak and economic growth will be restricted worldwide, due to low salary growth rates and weak consumer spending, including countries where unemployment has decreased ”
