About Hong Kong Retail Management Association
香港零售管理協會
The Hong Kong Retail Management Association (HKRMA) was founded in 1983 by a group of visionary retailers with a long-
term mission to present a unified voice for Hong Kong’s retail industry. For 34 years the Association has played a vital role in
addressing the many issues affecting retailers and by promoting our retail industry through awards, education and training.
Today, the HKRMA is the major retail association in Hong Kong. Our members represent more than 7,800 retail outlets employing
over half of the local retail workforce. Members organizations cover various types of retail businesses ranging from beauty
products and cosmetics to catering and food, supermarkets, department stores, convenience stores, drug stores, watches and
jewellery, fashion and accessories, furniture and home accessories, electronic and electrical appliances, telecommunications,
retail (services), and specialty stores, as well as suppliers, wholesalers and industry related service organizations.
The HKRMA is one of the founding members of the Federation of Asia-Pacific Retailers Associations (FAPRA) established in 1989.
Currently, members of FAPRA cover 17 countries/regions in the Asia Pacific with each being represented by the key retail association.
