Retail in the Republic of Ireland
In Ireland, the retail sector provides one of the largest sources of employment in the economy, representing over 12% of the workforce.[1] As of 2017, approximately 40,000 wholesale and retail businesses employed almost 280,000 people in Ireland,[2][1] with the Department of Enterprise, Trade and Employment reporting that 90% of these businesses were Irish-owned.[1]
As of 2017, the retail market was worth €40 billion annually,[3] with the supermarket sector reportedly comprising €9 billion of this figure.[2] For the same period, €5 billion was spent by Irish consumers with online retailers - €3 billion of this going to non-Irish sites.[3]
