Global Duty Free Retailing Competitive Landscape Professional Research Report 2025

Research Summary

Duty-free retailing is a commercial practice in which goods, such as alcohol, tobacco, luxury items, cosmetics, and other products, are sold to international travelers without the imposition of certain local import duties, taxes, or tariffs. These duty-free shops are typically found at international airports, seaports, and border crossings, and they cater to passengers departing or arriving from another country.
