Executive Summary
Retail & Shopper Trends 2010
Peter Gale
Managing Director – Retailer Services
Asia Pacific, Middle East & Africa
The Nielsen Company
2009 a tough year for retailers in most Asia
Pacific markets but light appearing at the end
of the tunnel
Volume growth down in 2009: Throughout the Asia Pacific
region, countries experienced a lower level of grocery sales
growth in 2009 compared to the very strong performance
in 2008. Discounting the effects of lower inflation on absolute
sales dollars, volume growth was significantly lower in
many markets.
The strongest performing markets in 2009 were India and
Vietnam, where sales values increased by nearly 15% compared
to 2008. In China and Indonesia, markets that had consistently
enjoyed double-digit growth over the last 5 years, the growth
rate slowed down to +3% and +5% respectively. China has seen
a strong recovery though since Q4 2009 and is now back to 11%
growth in Q1 driven by a strong demand for food categories.
In the more developed markets of Hong Kong, Singapore and
Korea, where grocery sales had benefited from the economic
difficulties as consumers spent less on eating out, we saw
growth rates slowing down in the 2nd half of 2009 as consumer
sentiment became more positive. In Singapore where the sales of
basic groceries such as cooking oil grew strongly in 2009 we are
now seeing growth switching back to personal care, health and
more premium products. Both New Zealand and Australia also
showed continued steady sales growth of over 6% last year.
Surging consumer confidence in 2010: The latest consumer
confidence index in the Asia Pacific region, as surveyed by
Nielsen globally, continued to improve in 2009 and reached
an index score of 101 in Q2 2010, an increase of 23 points from
Q1 2009. Globally, the consumer confidence index reached its
highest level since Q3 2007, at 93 points in Q2 2010.
The big increase in the consumer index for the Asia Pacific
region was led by Vietnam (+18) and Singapore (+5). The
region also took 6 of the top 10 spots globally, in terms of
consumer confidence: India (129), Indonesia (119), Vietnam
(119) The Philippines (113), Singapore (112) and Australia (108).
Of these countries, India and Indonesia occupied the top 2
positions globally.
In Q2 2010, 43% of consumers in the region felt good about
spending on items they want and need over the next 12 months,
compared to 36% in Q3 2009. While consumers are also saying
that they plan to change their spending to save on household
expenses, they plan to spend their spare cash in areas including
Clothes and New Technology which should be positive for
the Hypermarket channel, which suffered from the cut back
in general merchandise sales during 2009. They also plan to
increase spending on out-of- home entertainment which may
be less positive for the grocery trade, particularly in developed
markets, where the move to entertaining at home had a positive
effect on grocery sales in 2009.
The “2000’s” - a decade of change for grocery
retailing in Asia
Over the last 10 years we saw a massive change to the grocery
retail business across Asia, driven by retailer investment in new
stores. The number of modern trade stores has been growing by
over 16,000 stores a year with the total store count increasing
from less than 50,000 to close to 220,000.
Modern trade on the rise: Across the region, the modern trade
now accounts for 53% of the packaged grocery sales tracked
by Nielsen, from the 35% share in 2000. This shift of consumer
spending of nearly 2% per annum has been strongest in North
Asia – led by China where the importance of modern trade
increased on average by 3%
China and Korea are fastest changing markets: While there
has been significant store growth in all markets, the biggest
story of the decade was clearly the expansion seen in the
China market. China alone accounted for over 100,000 new
stores or more than 60% of the total new store investment
and equivalent to a 1000% increase in a 10 year period.
Subsequently the modern trade share increased from 34% to
64% during the decade with all formats driving that growth.
4

Hypermarkets are the strongest modern trade channel
accounting for 28% of packaged grocery sales. The importance
of Hypermarkets differ significantly by city though – in
Shanghai, 77% of shoppers claim to use them as their main
store compared to just 45% in Beijing. The biggest growth
opportunity for this channel is now coming from the lower tier
cities with the key cities generally reaching a relatively mature
level of development.
Korea was another market where the speed of change has been
rapid. Again, this is a market where Hypermarkets occupy a
very strong 31% share of trade. Convenience stores have also
expanded rapidly, achieving a 12.5% share and increasing from
3,000 to nearly 17,000 in numbers. Traditional grocery stores
have suffered most in Korea, with a closure rate of 5% per year
or more than 50,000 stores during the decade.
The speed of change has generally been slower in South-East
Asia, ranging from 0.6% in the Philippines, the only market
in the region where there has been no significant foreign
investment, up to 1.9% in Malaysia.
Hypermarket growth, at 40% per annum, has been the
biggest driver of change in Malaysia’s grocery shopping scene.
However, unlike China or Korea, we have not seen the same
level of store closures for the traditional trade with overall
store numbers only down by a few thousand, and over 70% of
shoppers still using them as frequently as 2 to 3 times per week.
Indonesia was the second fastest developing market in South-
East Asia with an annual share change of 1.6%. This is likely
to continue to grow at a fast rate with modern trade still
accounting for less than 40% of sales. The fastest growing
channel in Indonesia has been the mini-market, led by local
giants Indomaret and Alfamart. Over the decade, store
5
numbers increased from just over 2000 to more than 11,500. It
is now difficult in many cities to stand on a corner and not see
at least 2 of these stores!! The impact of mini-markets on where
people shop has been significant as their share of trade has
increased nearly six-fold to over 17%. Indonesia is also a market
where Hypermarkets have grown strongly but where there is
still room for expansion with only 43% of shoppers using one
on a regular basis.
2010: The start of the male shopper decade?
Over the last 10 years, we have also seen some change in who
is taking responsibility for doing the grocery shopping. Across
the Asia region, the proportion of men claiming to be the main
shopper increased on average from 14% to 22%. The only
exception was in China where the proportion of male “main”
shoppers remained relatively flat at just 15%.
In South and South-East Asia, men are generally more likely
to be grocery shoppers – in most countries, we now see
male shoppers accounting for more than 25% of the “main”
shopper pie. Malaysia leads the way with 38% followed by the
Philippines and India.
There are still two countries though, where things remain a
little more traditional – Korea and Vietnam. While there are
signs of change in Korea, likely due to the development of
Hypermarkets, only 11% of men claim to be the main shopper
for their families. In Vietnam, where only 3% of main shoppers
are males (from 1% a decade ago), the traditional Wet Market
dominates with only 11% of packaged grocery sales going
through the modern trade channel.
Housewives no longer dominate the (shopping) aisles: As
male shoppers become more involved in grocery shopping, the
popular perception that grocery shopping is mainly done by
stay-at-home housewives is now only applicable to a couple
of markets. In particular, India and Indonesia are the only
markets where more than 60% of the main shoppers claim to
be housewives.
At the other end of the spectrum, China has the lowest number
of shopping housewives at just 10%, followed by Thailand
at 27%. With a high proportion of working women in these
markets, a key challenge for retailers is to provide even more
convenient solutions. In Thailand, we have seen very strong
growth over the last 12 months of smaller formats, particularly
convenience stores that now account for over 16% of packaged
grocery sales.
Hypermarket growth stalls: a short term effect?
One of the clear effects of the 2009 economic downturn was
a halt in the forward march of Hypermarkets in many countries.
In a number of countries such as Korea and Taiwan, we saw
Hypermarkets lose as much as 1% share as shoppers used
them slightly less frequently. This was quite possibly an effort
from shoppers to try to save money by avoiding the larger
stores where they are faced with more non-discretionary
spending temptations.
At the same time, many countries saw a growth in the usage
of smaller supermarkets or mini-markets, stores that offer
shoppers a more convenient local grocery shopping option
and lower travelling costs.
In Korea, the number of shoppers who used supermarkets as
their main channel increased from 17% to 23%, reversing a
declining trend we had seen for more then 10 years. Regular
use of Supermarkets also increased for the first time in many
years in Taiwan, Indonesia and Thailand, markets that have
had strong development of Hypermarkets. Whether this trend
continues through 2010, as consumer confidence returns and
shoppers start to increase their spending, remains to be seen.
It is possible that Hypermarkets may find growth harder to
come by in a number of markets, with retailers continuing to
invest in smaller formats, offering shoppers more convenient
“top-up” shopping. In many cases the smaller formats are
being opened by the leading Hypermarket chains in an effort
to expand their footprint to smaller catchment areas that
cannot support a larger store, or to capture spending from
different shopping trips other than the main “stock-up” trip.
The development of this multi-format strategy in Asia follows a
retail trend we see being implemented globally.
Shoppers become more focused on value in 2009
A prominent impact of the economic downturn on shopper’s
behavior was an increased focus on value across all markets.
This was partly due to the economic downturn, but was also
retailer driven with the amount of retailer promotional activity
increasing sharply in a number of markets.
The proportion of shoppers who claim to be promotion
seekers increased noticeably, particularly in some of the
developing markets such as Vietnam, India and China. Malaysia
was another market where promotions became even more
important despite it already having one the highest proportions
of promotion-sensitive consumers.
In Korea, 34% of shoppers’ choice of stores to patronize is
influenced by the stores’ promotional leaflets, nearly 20%
more than the average for the region. The story is different in
Indonesia, where shoppers were less inclined to buy based on
promotional offers. As sales dropped sharply, shoppers were
more likely to focus on buying the brands that they trusted
rather than risking their money on products they were not
familiar with, even if these were priced competitively. Indonesia
is also the country where the highest proportion of shoppers
(81%), claims to choose stores purely based on convenience
(store location). This may well be due to the preponderance of
conveniently located mini-markets.
So, what is going to happen during the next
decade?
Many of the trends we have seen over the last decade will
no doubt continue.
Size matters: There will be further growth in large format
stores offering consumers low prices, a wide assortment and a
spacious shopping environment, particularly in the developing
markets. In countries where they are already dominant, there
may well be a challenge from more convenient smaller format
stores and also a need for retailers to refresh their offer to
capture and/or keep the interest of shoppers.
Convenience: Convenience stores typified by 7-Eleven will
continue to grow strongly in all countries, with a big driver of
this likely to include an ever-expanding offer in food services
as well as many other services aimed at making everyday life
even more convenient.
Concentration of trade: Retailer concentration will increase
very much at the same rate that we saw over the last few years,
shifting by 1 to 2% annually. The occasional bigger changes
will be driven by mergers and acquisitions as retailers strive
to drive profitability through size.
The traditional trade will remain an important retail channel
in most developing markets, although they will lose share at
a rate of about 1% per year. For the region, this is likely to be
slower than the preceding decade as there will not be the
same size of impact from China.
While India will have a lot of focus from a regional perspective
with investment being ramped up again over the next few years,
the speed of change is unlikely to bear much resemblance to
what was experienced in China. While we still saw 16% growth
6
in modern trade stores in 2009, it was definitely a year of
consolidation and the overall share of sales these stores
account for remained at only 5%.
Only 30% of urban shoppers use supermarkets or hypermarkets
regularly, with only 14% claiming to usethem as their main
store. During 2009 the average number of different chains used
on a regular basis actually dropped from 2.4 to only 1.8. India
has probably the strongest traditional trade with its Kirana
stores successfully meeting shoppers’ needs for convenience
and personal service. As well as competition, there are a
number of other issues modern retailers will need to overcome
to be successful, particularly the development of an efficient
and cost effective supply chain.
Retaining shoppers: Shopper loyalty and creating
differentiated retail brands will be key themes in many of
the more developed markets, where retailers have a strongly-
established footprint and as competition between the leading
chains becomes keener. We have started to see the launch of
many types of loyalty cards but the jury is out as to whether
these cards will truly provide differentiation for retailers or
whether these cards will just be a different means for shoppers
to obtain promotional offers. Regardless, these cards will say
a lot about shoppers. As the usage of such cards increase in
7
popularity, the wealth of customer data and insights gained
will increasingly be central to the shopper engagement
strategies for many leading chains.
Private Labels: The private label concept is still undeveloped
in all Asian markets, with only Hong Kong having a share above
5%. This opportunity will be developed over the next 10 years
but how quickly it will grow will be dependent on how much
retailers invest, not just in product development and quality but
also in actively marketing and selling the concept to shoppers.
“Wired” shopping habits: Technology is the final trend which
is likely to fundamentally alter how and where shoppers spend
their money and interact with retailers. Whether it is through
TV shopping, on-line retailers, mobile phone applications or
social networking sites, the application of technology is likely
to be the area where we see some of the biggest changes by
the year 2020.
In Korea, the transformation has already begun. We now see
4% of shoppers claiming to use the internet for the majority
of their grocery shopping needs, while 71% use the internet
regularly to purchase groceries and personal care items.
Another 30% use TV shopping channels… so watch this space!!
