What have been the primary factors driving the duty free and travel retail market’s growth?
The growing international travel is expected to propel the growth of the duty-free and travel retail markets going forward. International travel is journeying between countries for purposes such as tourism, business, or other personal reasons. The surge in international travel is fueled by globalization, affordable airfares, business expansion, digital nomadism, and the allure of cultural exploration facilitated by improved transportation and technology. Duty-free and travel retail services allow travelers to purchase goods such as alcohol, tobacco, and luxury items at lower prices, often tax-free, enhancing the travel experience. For instance, in January 2024, according to the United Nations World Tourism Organization (UNWTO), a Spain-based international organization in the field of tourism, international air capacity, and passenger demand recovered to 90% of pre-pandemic levels through 2023, while global occupancy rates in accommodation establishments reached 65% in November 2023, up from 62% in November 2022. Therefore, the growing international travel market will drive the growth of duty-free and travel retail markets.
