Chennai led with 1.95 million square feet of supply in 2013, followed by Mumbai and Pune.

In 2014, Delhi NCR is expected to hold the dominant position in terms of expected net addition of shopping malls.

Emerging Trends..

In the coming years, the average size of malls is likely to increase as developers are focusing on project sizes that allow for a critical mass in terms of offering various formats and categories under one roof. In 2014, the average size of malls is estimated to be around 3,80,000 square feet, which is expected to increase to 4,70,000 square feet in 2015 and further increase to 6,60,000 square feet in 2017.

There is also an increasing trend among upcoming malls to adopt a structured approach in planning, execution & launch. The importance of formulating an optimal tenant mix to ensure the maximum utilisation of retail space is now recognised and accepted by almost all major mall developers.

Retailers are showing the highest interest in upcoming retail projects that offer not only a good location, but have been optimized in terms of design and trade and tenant mix.
