PROSPECTS AND OPPORTUNITIES
Department stores face uncertain outlook
General merchandise stores are expected to experience mixed performance over the forecast period. Once the war ends and international airlines resume normal operations, ticket prices are likely to decrease, allowing Israelis to travel abroad more frequently.
Tax hikes will push consumers towards budget-friendly retailers
As the war continues, Israel’s economic outlook remains uncertain as, with inflationary pressures and a growing national debt shaping consumer behaviour. In response to rising fiscal challenges, the government has announced a series of tax increases for 2025, including a confirmed VAT hike from 17% to 18%.
Variety stores to compete with other retail formats
In February 2024, Max Stock introduced a pilot grocery section within one of its variety stores, strategically located near major grocery retailers Rami Levi and Shufersal. The store-in-store concept features a selection of fresh produce, dried fruits, candies, beverages, spices, and other store cupboard essentials.
