Duty free retail shops have helped airports to generate greater revenues all over the world and thereby reduced the landing fees the airports charge to airlines. In turn, it has helped airlines to keep lower ticket prices that has benefited travelers of the airlines. Revenue generated by the airport retail stores can also be utilized for infrastructure development as airports need continuous up-gradation. For instance, according to Airports Council International-North America, America’s airports would require more than US$ 128 billion in infrastructure upgrades by 2023.

Market Dynamics

By product type, duty free wines & spirits segment is expected to gain major traction, and this is owing to increasing sales of wines & spirits in duty free stores as government bodies do not impose any tax on alcoholic products bought from duty free shops. Moreover, companies are launching new liquor products at duty free shops to attract more tourists. For instance, from April 2019, a Poland-made spirit, Pravda Vodka, has been made available at Aer Rianta International’s ‘The Loop Duty Free New Zealand’, at Auckland Airport.

Among regions, Europe held a significant market share in 2022, owing to increasing number of travelers in the region. For instance, according to the Airports Council International, in 2018, Heathrow Airport (London), Charles de Gaulle Airport (Paris), Amsterdam Airport Schiphol (The Netherlands), and Frankfurt Airport (Germany) were ranked among the world’s top 15 busiest airports by passenger traffic.
