APAC passenger traffic is +6% versus 2019 but DF&TR sales are -17%, a US$7.6bn gap, with sales per traveler down from US$9.68 to US$7.56, due to low-cost carrier passenger mix, stronger local offering and lower Chinese luxury consumption.

key statistic + framework

To date, travel retail remains primarily a transaction-led channel

Sisu

62% of industry experts view travel retail primarily as a sales generation channel, held there by three forces: economics rewarding the next transaction, price-led design and no single owner of the traveler.

Korduma kippuvad küsimused

Levinud küsimused selle slaidi ja esitluse sisu kohta.

What does the Oliver Wyman Global Travel Retail Pulse 2026 cover?

It is a 72-page report by Oliver Wyman and TFWA (Tax Free World Association) on what will drive the next decade of duty free and travel retail growth. It sizes the market by region and category, analyzes Gen Z and other traveler generations using a 3,825-respondent 2026 survey, explains why price no longer converts and discovery does, and closes with a call for action on data-led, discovery-oriented retail.

What are the key findings of the 2026 Global Travel Retail Pulse?

Passenger traffic grew 6.2% CAGR in 2023-2025 versus 2.7% for travel retail sales, leaving an estimated US$5.0 billion gap versus 2019 conversion. Europe generated a US$3.1 billion surplus while APAC sales remain 17% below 2019. Millennials and Gen Z account for 61% of airline travel spend (about 80% by 2035), only 51% of Gen Z cite price as a key criterion versus 80% of Baby Boomers, and 44% of travelers buy immediately after discovering a product (49% of Gen Z).

Who publishes the Global Travel Retail Pulse and how often?

This edition was published by Oliver Wyman, a Marsh business, together with TFWA in September 2026. Oliver Wyman describes it as part of its long-standing research into global travel retail, and the report references a companion Asia Pacific travel retail pulse for 2026, so it is best treated as a recurring industry pulse report.

Why is this deck a good example of consulting-style slide design?

Every content slide carries an action title that states the conclusion, such as Travel retail's inability to keep pace with passenger growth has cost the industry US$5 billion. Charts are clean and annotated (waterfalls, marimekko mixes, stacked bars with CAGR pills, Sankey-style funnels), each slide has a source line, and the storyline runs from forewords and an executive summary through four numbered sections, case studies and expert interviews to a call for action.

What slide layouts does the report use?

It mixes section dividers with oversized numerals, three-column executive summary pages, big-number KPI rows, ring gauges, regional deep-dive templates (indexed line chart plus per-traveler KPI tiles plus a driver panel), ranked tables, framework slides (Invite, Surprise, Engage, Fix the basics), case-study pages with photos, and two-column interview pages.

How can I make a similar consulting report deck?

Start with an outline of action titles that tell the story on their own, then attach one chart or data point to each. 2Slides can turn a document, research notes or an outline into a structured slide deck, so you can upload your report or survey summary and generate a consulting-style presentation, then refine the titles and charts.

Which companies and airports are featured as examples?

Case studies cover Kansai Airport's mission-led zones, ARI's Hot Shop at Larnaca, Dubai Airport's live flight data retail media, Frankfurt's Beacon tasting bar by Gebr. Heinemann, Haneda Airport, Schiphol with Lagardere and Danish retailer Normal, plus interviews with executives from Kering, Mondelez, Coty, Hugo Boss and Avolta.

Where can I find the original Oliver Wyman report?

The original PDF is published on the Oliver Wyman website at https://www.oliverwyman.com/content/dam/oliver-wyman/v2/publications/2026/september/oliver-wyman-tfwa-global-travel-retail-pulse.pdf. The gallery page shows every slide for reference.
