Colombia Travel Retail Market Size Worth $686.0 Million By 2025

The Colombia travel retail market size is expected to reach USD 686.0 million by 2025, and it is anticipated to register a CAGR of 8.3% from 2019 to 2025, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The travel and tourism industry accounted for nearly 3.8% of Colombia’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) in 2018. The industry’s demand has witnessed an increase of 12% in 2018 from the previous year. Columbia is one of the major tourist destinations with attractions including colonial cities, coffee plantations, mountains, and beaches. A rising number of international travelers is expected to be one of the prime factors driving the market growth.

According to Colombia’s Ministry of Commerce, Industry and Tourism (MinCIT), the country’s travel and tourism revenues was approximately USD 5.8 billion in 2018. However, the Colombian government plans to increase these revenues to USD 40 billion by 2022 by making tourism a high priority. Initiatives such as increasing airline routes to Colombia are subsequently expected to drive the growth of the market for travel retail in the country. Moreover, the rising middle-class population in developing countries and reasonably priced travel choices are anticipated to drive the market growth.

The retail market is getting increasingly competitive, owing to the entry of other duty-free retailers in the country. For instance, in 2017, Dufry and 3Sixty Duty Free signed a joint venture agreement and obtained duty-free store concession at the El Dorado International Airport in Bogota. The two companies signed a concession agreement with Opain S.A. for one duty-paid, seven duty-free, and two Hudson convenience stores. An improving economy, sustainable business practices, and favorable commercial trade agreements have created robust opportunities for international brands, which acted as a catalyst for market growth. According to the World Travel & Tourism Council (WTTC), Bogota accounted for more than 29% of Colombia’s overall travel and tourism activity.

Over two decades of political instability has impeded the growth of Colombia market. Despite decades of security challenges and internal conflicts, Colombia has been relatively steady in upholding democratic institutions characterized by transparent and peaceful elections and the protection of civil liberties. The increasing political stability and improving security situation is expected to open opportunities for foreign direct investments and subsequently strengthen the Colombian tourism industry. An active travel and tourism industry would further encourage international travel retail operators to consider entering the market in Colombia, where competition is currently relatively moderate.

Dropshipping Market Size Worth $557.9 Billion By 2025

The global dropshipping market size is expected to reach USD 557.9 billion by 2025, registering a CAGR of 28.8% over the forecast period, according to a study conducted by Grand View Research, Inc. Rising consumer inclination toward online shopping platforms, coupled with the proliferation of internet users, is anticipated to positively impact market growth. Dropshippers offer services to retailers such as direct transfer of goods to customers and inventory maintenance. Moreover, benefits provided through dropshipping services encourage e-commerce companies to adopt these services, as the shipment of the products/goods is not limited to the internal boundaries of the country and can even offer product deliveries across international borders.

Rising disposable income and increasing internet and smartphone penetration have favored the e-commerce industry, thereby impacting the adoption of dropshipping. Dropshipping enables e-commerce companies to capitalize on warehouse and logistics investments. Moreover, fewer capital investments in inventory and logistics have resulted in an increased demand for dropshipping amongst retailers.

Several e-commerce startup businesses are opting for dropshipping services since fewer investments are required for product warehousing, resulting in reduced shipping and logistics costs. The growing number of online purchases by consumers has enabled the emergence of new e-commerce companies. Inclination of emerging e-commerce companies toward dropshipping business is further generating avenues for market growth.

However, government rules and regulations for product shipment and cybersecurity threats are hindering the market growth. Moreover, the General Agreement on Trade in Services (GATS) comprises rules and regulations governing international trade in services, with significant implications for e-commerce. The Anti-Spam Law is in place to protect consumers from receiving unsolicited marketing material, thereby restraining the growth of the market.
