2014 – XXII Giochi Olimpici Invernali a Sochi 2018 – Mondiali di Calcio 2014-2020 – Formula 1 nella zona di Sochi


HOTELS

Experts agree that in Russia there are still missing many beds and that the hospitality industry is still in its infancy of its development. The hospitality industry continues to be a niche almost vacant for investors. In large Russian cities are mostly hotels of international level, but the class of hotel "three star " is severely lacking. However, today there is an increasing trend in the number of investment projects for the construction and reconstruction of the hotels of the middle class. But it is in Sochi ( Krasnodar Region ) , on the occasion of the Winter Olympics , there will be more investment. The International Olympic Committee has in fact reviewed the need for 24 thousand rooms ranging from 3-5 stars, where guests will be accommodated , official delegations and representatives of the Federation, etc. . In Russia , the sector of furniture for hotels is much more interesting for manufacturers of office furniture , whose style is more similar to those normally used in hotels than those used in the furnishing of residential housing . In addition, cooperation with hoteliers , you need the experience of the types of supplies contract type normally used for offices.


Restaurants and bars

Even in the catering market, particularly the bar, the furniture and furnishings have one of the most promising marketing channels. These sales are associated with an increase in the number of market participants in restaurants, especially fast-food restaurants. There is the development of the overall construction of shops and recreational spaces matched and, therefore, a strong demand for equipment for the food tasting. Another element is the diversity of formats catering: Yes, there are completely different approaches to the expectations in the choice of food: great restaurant, small bar for a snack bar for fast-food, restaurants with national cuisine of the various countries, nightclubs, etc.. There need furniture of different price categories, with varying degrees of exclusivity.

Opportunities in Russia for foreign companies

Russia – a BIG market With a population of almost 143 million people , Russia is the eighth retail market in the world and is one of the fastest growing markets : the Russian GDP grew by 4.1 % in 2012 , strong signs of recovery economy after the crisis period in 2009. The Russian market is in constant growth thanks to some key factors such as population growth , changing lifestyles that have led to an increase in purchases . In addition to continued growth, Russia is an excellent place in which to invest as the market is not yet saturated. The Russian market is dominated by imports which represent the 80/95 % of the market share. The low quality products or aimed at a mass consumers are imported mainly from China and India , the products of high quality and aimed at buyers with a high purchasing power are imported from Europe. European companies have excellent opportunities to operate in the market medium / high. Italian exports to Russia in 2012 increased by 17.8%.


Opportunities in Russia for foreign companies

Geographical factors

Geography is an important element in the evaluation of the Russian market. The economic profile of Russia is closely related to the characteristics of a vast territory and rich resources, as well as of contrasts and contradictions. There are significant regional differences due to the large geographical distances and differences in the size of the market and in consumer spending. Consequently, the Russian retail market can not be considered as a single market.


Russia – a BIG Country in movement

Moscow and St. Petersburg The population of Moscow is comparable to that of Hungary with over 11 million inhabitants. S. Petersburg is the second largest city with 4.9 million people. In addition to these two cities, the country has 12 other cities with a population of over one million inhabitants. Moscow and St. Petersburg represent less than 20% of the Russian population, but constitute a separate market, with levels of income and consumption patterns substantially higher than the rest of the country. Even here the barriers are higher, due to market saturation and the presence of a consolidated system of specialized suppliers, able to manage access to almost all types of products, from consumer goods to industrial . Gaining visibility in Moscow involves substantial investment whose return will never be immediate


Russia – a BIG Country in movement

Outside Moscow In the peripheral areas of the Federation can find more opportunities, especially where there are natural resources and / or local authorities particularly active and collaborative.

The cost involved to get the products at your destination are high, due to the lack of adequate infrastructure for transport, storage and storage of products.

The dispersion of potential customers to the formation of economies of scale, eroding operating margins of the business.

Specila Ecomics Zones (SEZ) – Established by federal law in 2005 , as part of a project to promote the attraction of investments and modernization of the production system in the Russian Federation and especially in some regions particularly suitable for the presence of resources , facilities or logistics facilities. – To date defined four types of SEZs , which differ in the allocation of tasks and the minimum threshold of their investment, then stand SEZ for industrial , technological , tourism and port . Are currently three active SEZ of the first type , four in the second , seven in the third and three in the fourth , a total of seventeen areas . – The status of SEZ is recognized by decree by the Ministry of Economic Development and entails for companies established a series of administrative facilities , tax and customs , including the exemption from duties and taxes for materials , equipment and components used for the production of export goods . – Between 2006 and 2010 there were more than 230 investors in the SEZs from 18 countries .


Russia – Market approach Approach to the market, before they can build up their facilities, the exporting company must then face the choice of the distribution system. The characteristics of the territory and the structure of the market means that the distribution appears often concentrated in a small group of operators, with a position of advantage over the producers and to the final destination of the goods. In many cases, moreover, the figures importers and distributors find themselves joined in the same legal person, who then has one instrumental in negotiating power to allow or deny access of products to the market. In the GDO is a strong presence of large foreign groups, especially French (Auchan, Carrefour, Leroy Merlin), covering a major part of the market for consumer products. An alternative channel for the food sector is the one of the top restaurants industry, very present in the capital and all major cities.


Russia – a BIG country in movement Investment activities The flow of foreign investment still has ample room for growth . The situation today is more favorable than in the past, but it should be borne in mind some important aspects. The registration of a company joint venture or wholly foreign , or of a branch or representative of a commercial subsidiary does not in itself special burdens in terms of time and cost . The process may, however, be made longer if you plan to carry out activities subject to certification. The most significant commitment to the foreign firm , the organizational and financial point of view , is the one connected to the personnel and, in particular , to a general manager of the local structure . The administrative system for the management of residence permits and work is still characterized by lack of transparency , also because of the presence of different sets of rules. Towards the U . E. the general principle applied is the reciprocity with the treatment of Russian citizens in Europe, then applies a system of annual quotas by category and territory.
