Retail market analysis is commissioned ahead of high-stakes decisions: building or repositioning a shopping centre, acquiring high-street assets, or rolling out a retail chain to new locations. The Kanzas company has researched the Ukrainian retail segment for more than 20 years, combining desk research methodology with hands-on valuation of retail assets — from individual units to shopping and entertainment centres.
What the analysis covers
The study maps retail supply in the chosen city: operating and pipeline shopping centres, the high-street segment, rental rates and their dynamics, vacancy, and tenant demand structure — from anchor operators to small formats. It concludes with a segment outlook ready to feed the asset's financial model.
Who commissions retail market analysis
Typical clients are developers launching or repositioning shopping centres, investors acquiring retail assets, banks assessing collateral, and retail chains planning expansion into new cities or formats. International retailers and investors use the study as independent local market intelligence for Ukraine.
Sources and methodology
We analyse asking and transaction databases, disclosures by developers and shopping centre managers in Kyiv and the regions, official retail trade statistics and industry reviews — reinforced by the Kanzas company's archive of retail property valuations. The desk research methodology is described on our market research page.
From market analysis to investment decision
The segment analysis feeds the asset concept, the feasibility study and the business plan. Our track record includes a feasibility study for a shopping and entertainment centre in Kyiv built directly on this kind of market research. One provider for the full cycle means consistent figures from market capacity to the financial model.
Fees and timing
A rapid overview of a city's retail segment takes several working days; a comprehensive project study starts from two weeks. We quote free of charge, the same day.
Frequently asked questions
Do you analyse shopping centres and high street separately? Yes — they are distinct sub-segments with different rent and demand logic; the report treats them separately, with emphasis set by your objective.
Can you assess a specific site for a shopping centre? Yes, location analysis with competitive environment, catchment zones and demand profile is a standard section of a project-specific study.
Do you account for changing consumer behaviour? Yes, the report covers demand trends and retail turnover dynamics that shape the outlook for each format.
We build every report around the decision you need to make, keep to agreed deadlines and respect your budget — no filler sections. Email or message us today for a quote.
