Mall operator Klepierre is focusing on Europe's most dynamic and affluent big cities and offering experiences beyond shopping to compete with fast-growing online retailers, its chairman Jean-Marc Jestin told Reuters on Tuesday. Shein, which sells in more than 150 countries online, has emerged as a major player and accounted for nearly 20% of the global fast-fashion market in 2022, outpacing Inditex's Zara and H&M, both Klepierre tenants. "I don't believe in the disappearance of physical retail ... but rather in a concentration, and so all our work has been to concentrate on the big cities, the big shopping centres, which are the most dynamic," Jestin said in an interview.
