Duty-free sales retailers are those that are exempted from certain local and national taxes and duties because they sell goods to international travelers. However, taxes may be imposed on duty-free goods when buyers reach their country of destination or when the quantity of the goods exceeds certain set limits. These retailers operate at international airports and seaports, border towns, train stations, and onboard aircraft and ships. These retailers offer products such as perfumes, cosmetics, alcohol, cigarettes, chocolates, electronics, and accessories. The duty-free retailing market in Europe is expected to grow significantly during the forecast period, due to the expansion in international airports and increasing number of passengers.

A recent report forecasts the duty-free retailing market in Europe to grow at a CAGR of 6.06% during the period 2017-2021.

The report covers the present scenario and the growth prospects of the duty-free retailing market in Europe for 2017-2021. To calculate the market size, the report considers the revenue generated from the retail sales of various consumer products to individual customers at duty-free retail stores in the region.
