2.2 CHANNEL TRENDS Airports remain the dominant channel within travel retail, and drives the market with CAGR ahead of the global annual average of 10.1% between 2010 and 2014. This has seen the channel increase its share of the overall travel retail market to just under 58%. Airlines and Ferries are the smallest sales channels and have also shown the slowest growth over time. This slow growth does not impact the overall market significantly due to the limited scale of these channels. Other Shops, which includes Downtown shops, Border shops and Cruise ships, have also grown at a similar rate over the medium term, and make up over one-third of sales.
