The European Travel Retail Confederation (ETRC) is pleased to announce the much-anticipated relaunch of the ETRC Business Performance Index at the upcoming virtual ETRC Business Forum on January 27.

Created in 2004, the ETRC Index provides unique insights into airport shopping figures and trends in Europe thanks to data contributed by participating Travel Retailers. Available to ETRC members only, it will be published three times a year and a year-to-year update will be presented yearly at the occasion of the ETRC Business Forum.

Compiled with the expertise of Pi Insight, the Index will present trends on aggregated sales movements covering airside airport retail in sales across four main categories – Beauty, Liquor, Confectionery & Fine Foods and Tobacco.

ForwardKeys will be providing their valuable passenger index with historical flight data, drawing on the most comprehensive air ticketing datasets in the industry.

Stephen Hillam, Managing Director at PI Insight commented: “We are delighted to be supporting the ETRC and its members on such an important initiative. Understanding how the European region is performing will be key to the recovery and we are very excited to be developing these insights through the direct participation of the retailers on a regular basis going forward.”
