INTERNET RETAILING IN DENMARK 11 Jan 2012 HEADLINES Internet retailing grows by 14% in current value terms to reach DKK16 billion in 2011 Convenience, accessibility and lower prices are the key reasons behind internet sales growth in 2011 Internet retailing is a very fragmented channel with the leader Bestseller A/S holding a 6% value share Internet retailing is expected to record a 10% constant value CAGR over the forecast period COMPETITIVE LANDSCAPE Internet retailing is a very fragmented market area in Denmark. The leading player, Bestseller A/S, only held a 6% current value share in 2011. The 68% share held by “others” is accounted for by a large number of small operators. Bestseller A/S is a trusted “bricks-and-clicks” retailer and is skilled and experienced in providing an excellent online shopping experience for consumers. The other leading operators such as Apple, Coop NETtorvet, Elgiganten and H&M were originally store-based operators and are thus online with well-known and trusted brands, and large price-competitive product offers. This creates greater consumer trust as the brands are known beforehand. All of the leading operators rely on strong retail and product brand names, as well as wide product offers. Elbodan, Apple and Dell offered competitive prices on consumer electronics and domestic electrical appliances. In addition, Apple also recorded strong growth in sales of digital music. Bestseller, Hennes & Mauritz (H&M) and Ellos targeted the dynamic growth trend in clothing and footwear internet retailing. © Euromonitor International 2012 www.euromonitor.com NATIONAL BRAND OWNERS AND THEIR BRANDS Company Name (NBO) Brand (GBO) Apple Inc Apple (Apple Inc) Bestseller A/S Bestseller (Bestseller A/S) Bon'A Parte A/S Bon'A Parte (Bon'A Parte A/S) Botex Bis Amba Botex (Botex Bis Amba) Computer City A/S Computer City (Computer City A/S) Coop Danmark A/S Coop NETtorvet (FDB Group), Irma torvet (FDB Group) Dansk Supermarked A/S Bilkashoppen (Dansk Supermarked A/S) Dell A/S Dell (Dell Inc) Deres Design A/S Deres (Deres Design A/S) Elbodan A/S Proshop (Elbodan A/S) Elgiganten Kokkenland A/S El Giganten (Dixons Retail Plc) Ellos A/S Ellos (PPR SA) Hennes & Mauritz (H&M) A/S H&M (H&M Hennes & Mauritz AB) IKEA A/S IKEA (Inter Ikea Systems BV) Lampeland A/S Lampeland.dk (Lampeland A/S) Matas A/S Matas (Matas A/S) Med24 ApS Med24 (Med24 ApS) Merlin A/S Merlin (Merlin A/S) Oriflame International ApS Oriflame (Oriflame Cosmetics SA) Pixmania SAS Pixmania (Dixons Retail Plc) Yves Rocher Yves Rocher (Yves Rocher SA) Source: Passport by Euromonitor International © Euromonitor International 2012 www.euromonitor.com FORECAST DEFINITIONS AND METHODOLOGY Internet Retailing Sales of consumer goods to the general public via the Internet.
