World trade practice shows that even in the most highly organized system of trading service occur markets and street trading, but their share in total sales is insignificant.

In Kazakhstan, with increasing standards of living and changing preferences of the population in favor of higher quality goods and services, the share of turnover in the markets is reduced. Nevertheless, a certain proportion of the markets will remain, as they provide vulnerable populations regarding available products and specific products, unrealizable in other retail formats, and also allow small producers to sell their products on their own. In this regard, it is necessary on the one hand, to accelerate and streamline the process of retraining markets in other areas of trade and services, and on the other hand, to create conditions for the modernization of functioning markets, bringing their maximum level to international standards.

According to the requirements of each market should be appropriate to the type and category of not less than the prescribed him according to location.
