Key Highlights

The global duty-free market grew by 73.3% in 2022, reaching sales of $49.0 billion, its highest level ever as it bounced back from the pandemic impact.

The duty-free market in the APAC region showed strong growth of 81.9% in 2022, growing from $18.0 bn in 2021 to $32.7 bn as traveler numbers surged in response to the lifting of travel restrictions.

The European duty-free market surged 63.3% in 2022 to $9.5 bn from $5.8 bn in 2021 owing to greater movement of people across the Eurozone.

Duty-free sales in the Middle East & Africa region recorded annual growth of 50.3% to reach $3.2 bn in 2022, following growth of 42.9% in 2021 and a decline in sales in 2020.

When a geopolitical development or a health crisis affects a particular region significantly, duty-free retailers need sales from other regions to cushion the adverse impact for instance to offset disruption resulting from the Russia-Ukraine conflict or China's stringent COVID-19 regulations.
