Top Global Retailers

Deloitte has just published the 'The Global Powers of Retailing 2010'. It's their 13th edition. The league table of the Top 250 retailers in the world shows that five of the Top 10 now come from Europe:

Carrefour

Metro

Tesco

Schwarz [Lidl]

Aldi

And the leading technology specialists are as follows:

023 Best Buy

043 Yamada Denki

065 DSGi

091 Gome

106 Kesa

116 Edion

117 Yodobashi

125 Suning

131 Casas Bahia

136 Apple

145 Bic

148 Euroset

149 K's

159 Eldorado

181 Kojima

191 RadioShack

222 Joshin Denki

250 Best Denki

This list clearly doesn't not separate the MediaMarkt business from Metro, or the Fnac business from PPR. And it does not even include the two biggest European buying groups, Euronics and Expert. It is also important to note that while this is the 2010 list, it is based on revenue figures from 2008 [but they do separate retail revenues from non-retail revenues before creating their league table].
