Here are the top 10 countries.

No 10 Kazakhstan: Luxury growth and retail expansion

Private consumption is growing rapidly as Kazakhstan's business environment improves, based on the country's vast natural resources, its integration customs union with Russia and Belarus, rising investments in retail real estate development, and a steadily improving business environment. The country has a small population and wide income differentiation, which makes the luxury market rather strong while lower-income segments have limited potential.

Modern grocers are spreading, especially in discount and cash-and-carry business. Though most consumers are price-conscious and prefer unpackaged food from traditional markets, Kazakhs are increasingly drawn to modern formats for their customer service and easy store access.
