CHINESE GROCERY’S AGE OF EMPIRES

TWO GIANT GROUPINGS ARE CARVING UP THE MARKET CHINESE GROCERY’S AGE OF EMPIRES

Chinese is evolving into two rival empires, each dominated by competing e-commerce giants. One realm is centered on Alibaba, which owns two of China’s largest e-commerce platforms, and , as well as an electronic payments system, . The other is an alliance between JD, a leading online retailer, and , an internet and digital-technology conglomerate that owns WeChat, China’s most popular social-media app. These two empires already own the digital lives of Chinese consumers today, where the average Chinese spends over 60% of their mobile app usage on either ecosystem.

Now Alibaba and Tencent/JD have set their sights on physical retail, including acquiring stakes in six of China’s top 10 hypermarkets, the country’s biggest electronics retailer, one of the largest department stores and the largest commercial property and entertainment conglomerate.

Underlying their growing dominance is Chinese consumers’ enthusiasm for online shopping: In 2006, just 11 percent of the population enjoyed internet access; today, more than 460 million Chinese – one-third of the population – regularly shop online.

Copyright © 2018 Oliver Wyman 3 Unlike in Europe and North America, food shopping – the largest retail segment – is moving online too, encouraged by densely populated cities that favor rapid, efficient home delivery. As a result, nearly 10 percent of the Chinese population shops for groceries online, compared to just 3 percent in the United States and 6 percent in the United Kingdom, Europe’s highest rate. And room for expansion remains: Already, an estimated 5 percent of Chinese shoppers buy groceries exclusively online, indicating plenty of potential growth if more people stop shopping for food in physical stores. To gain still more customers, the e-commerce giants are introducing new shopping formats – dubbed O2O, or online-to-offline – that blend online shopping’s convenience and wealth of information with the social experience and physical contact with products that people enjoy in traditional, brick-and-mortar stores.

An important foundation of the tech giants’ retail innovations is their dominance in mobile payments, of which 97 percent are processed by either Alibaba or Tencent. Mobile payments are already used for 35 percent of grocery purchases, and even when customers shop outside the big e-commerce platforms, they can still be a valuable source of data. Through the payments systems, the empires learn where, when, and what customers are buying, and complement it with the rest of their digital ecosystem to see which websites they like to visit, the apps they use, and whom they follow on social media.

China’s traditional and convenience stores can’t compete with this onslaught, and both their like-for-like sales and their margins are declining (see Exhibit 4).

But they may survive in some form with help from the online giants themselves. Both Alibaba and JD have developed logistics systems based on centralized, large-scale networks of warehouses, which can replace traditional distribution. For supermarkets, the online giants can thus provide the means to deliver fresh food quick enough to satisfy demanding Chinese home cooks. They have also developed software that helps old-fashioned corner shops more easily access and tap into their logistics system to directly order goods.

Both empires are building their O2O power through three plays, each of which blends their online capabilities with offline stores in new ways.

The first play is the development of new formats that blend digital and physical features to create imaginative new solutions. Many large supermarkets worldwide offer online services, where customers can order via a website and have food delivered. But these mainly work as parallel services to traditional shopping in physical supermarkets.

At Alibaba’s Hema stores, customers don’t have to go to checkout counters; they can pay by smartphone. Many don’t take their purchases with them; the store sends a delivery van. And some don’t even want all their food at home; supermarket staff members cook some of it for eating in the store.

Copyright © 2018 Oliver Wyman 6 Hema stores aim to give shoppers the best of both worlds: the chance to see food before purchase combined with online shopping’s detailed product information, quick payment, and home delivery: To ensure customers get their food fresh, it arrives at their homes within 30 minutes. JD is experimenting with unmanned stores, uses mirrors, cameras, and smart shopping carts to see which products customers are looking at and taking from shelves. Then the store can provide them with information – and check what they’re walking out with.

More generally, this kind of model will often feature in-house apps, digital price tags, self- service checkouts, and automated shopping carts. In the background will be a double-duty logistics hub that serves both the physical store and deliveries from O2O orders, whether placed online in in-store.

Early signs indicate that O2O retail will go beyond an interesting experiment and significantly change the retail landscape. Hema stores are already attracting young, wealthy, tech-savvy shoppers, a coveted group. They increasingly trust the Hema brand and are more willing to buy fresh food online.

Copyright © 2018 Oliver Wyman 7 We estimate that O2O – that is, sales via the app for home delivery, rather than products checked out in the traditional way – contributes as much as 60 percent of Hema revenues. Though stores with O2O features have been expensive to set up and their initial running costs are high, the O2O contribution has boosted productivity, thus keeping losses marginal. With further maturity and greater scale, they should soon be able to break even. We believe there is potential for at least 1,000 stores in prime locations in major cities with total revenues of 200 billion yuan.

Copyright © 2018 Oliver Wyman 8 STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIP WITH 2 TRADITIONAL BIG BOX RETAILERS

The second major strategic play consists of partnerships between online stores and large, traditional supermarkets. Big-box retailers have tried their own O2O and online shopping services in the past. Hypermarket chain RT-mart launched B2C online platform Feiniu.com in 2014, while Carrefour China tried a similar system a year later in Shanghai. But these and other initiatives have failed.

One reason for such failures is that traditional retailers lack distribution capabilities of their own: Fresh food typically requires 30-minute delivery, which is only possible with a logistics operation that is complex, sophisticated, and large-scale. Another is that they do not naturally generate O2O traffic. This is something that internet and e-commerce companies do through their contact at multiple touch points in customers’ daily lives, such as payment services, social media, and e-commerce purchases. So, traditional retailers have little option but to join one of the tech empires.

A number of alliances have been announced in the past few years. The most recent came in January 2018, when Tencent and YongHui Superstores agreed to take a stake in Carrefour China, as part of a plan to work on smart retail, mobile payments, and data analysis.

Copyright © 2018 Oliver Wyman 9 These partnerships show early signs of success thanks to complementary strengths, as technology from the online retailers helps the brick-and-mortar stores generate incremental revenue. For example, Alibaba installed shelves from its Tmall Supermarket online grocery service in RT-mart branches and started to offer one-hour home delivery for products on these shelves. Next, Alibaba is likely to help RT-mart optimize its in-store O2O infrastructure through an improved app, greater integration with backend, traffic help from Taobao and TMall, and support for delivery. In turn, RT-mart could strengthen Alibaba’s grocery supplier management and store operation capabilities. It could also provide valuable data to Alibaba on customers’ buying habits.

Walmart has a strategic partnership with JD which is using its O2O unit JD Daojia as the service platform for more than 150 Walmart stores in order to attract online traffic. Walmart is currently planning to upgrade its stores in China to support O2O services, for example by adding picking areas in store warehouses.

Copyright © 2018 Oliver Wyman 10 REINVENTION OF TRADITIONAL 3 “MOM AND POP” SHOPS

The third strategic play is to reinvent small, family stores. Traditional stores still account for half the sales of fast-moving consumer goods in China, much of them going through the more than 7 million family-run stores that dominate retail outside big cities. Since early 2017, JD and Alibaba have been converting these into franchises. These stores are rebranded under the Tmall/JD umbrella and offer new services, such as bill-paying. In addition, each store is unique in its product offerings, as store owners receive data-based curation advice so that they stock the optimal product selection based on its neighborhood: infant milk in a neighborhood with lots of babies and pet supplies if many residents keep dogs or cats.

Stores’ procurement processes also improve dramatically. Small stores have traditionally been served by a network of multi-layered distributors and wholesalers, which often come with troublesome requirements such as minimum purchase quantities. The two e-commerce giants have developed ordering systems that store owners can operate on their martphones: Alibaba’s Ling Shou Tong (LST) system and JD’s Xin Tong Lu (XTL). Goods arrive from centralized warehouses in less than three days and often on the day the order is placed – in contrast to delays of weeks with traditional wholesalers. The scale of the alliances gives them leverage over the product brands, resulting in better margins both for the stores and for JD and Alibaba.

Tmall was planning on 10,000 such franchises in 2017, while JD has said it is aiming for one million by 2021. In addition to the customer data and insights they can capture from these expansions, Alibaba and JD are likely to dominate the growing market for ordering systems, which could be worth around 400 billion yuan over the next five years.

Copyright © 2018 Oliver Wyman 12 CONCLUDING REMARKS

As O2O becomes the new normal in retail, the two alliances will act as both players in and facilitators of these new models. Traditional retailers may start to test dark stores in selected regions, and even the smallest stores are using the giants’ ordering systems.

To facilitate these combinations of e-commerce and traditional retail, a wave of acquisitions and partnerships has taken place over the past four years. Alibaba has made strategic investments totaling $21 billion in retail alone in just the past two years. The two empires already account for around a tenth of grocery retail, and these plays will attract more consumers through different activities and channels. Their share of grocery shopping could increase to around 30 percent over the next five years, when it could be worth around 4,000 billion yuan in gross merchandise value.

Independent supermarkets and hypermarkets will find the new environment hard. They typically operate under franchise models that are ineffective due to a lack of centralized control over store operations and products. Survival will call for drastic change, but we believe this is unlikely under their current setup. Most already operate with thin or negative margins and may not have sufficient funds to invest.

Some leading convenience stores should be able to survive on their own in the short term. 7-11 and Lawson, for instance, will continue to benefit from impulse buying. Moreover, they still have room for expansion to meet unfulfilled demand in lower-tier cities. But over the long term, growth will stagnate even in these convenience stores, and they will come under threat from the revival of family-run stores under the JD and Alibaba franchise networks.

Copyright © 2018 Oliver Wyman 13 So, retailers need to plan for how to function in a world dominated by the two empires. The first step is to build a clear plan for strategic alliances that leverage the empires’ tools and strengths. These include online traffic resources, technology capabilities that make better use of physical retailers’ customer transaction data to inform buying and merchandising decisions, and the integration of online and offline aspects of their business. In the case of sub-scale smaller stores and chains that are rapidly losing their ability to compete, the online platforms may prove to be of help in areas where physical hypermarkets traditionally had an advantage, such as product assortment, procurement, and supply chain management. However, if a store is not be viable even after these potential improvements, its owners should consider switching to another business model, reducing size, or simply shutting down.

Brands, too, need to figure out the best ways to engage the new tech empires. Just as anchor tenants in malls get preferential treatment thanks to their role in attracting shoppers, brands should establish themselves as part of store networks’ core propositions, so that they benefit from prominent display and favorable financial terms. They should work with the tech giants to make distribution more efficient, while also maintaining relationships with other distributors – if these survive – to avoid being completely dependent on the e-commerce giants.

It is inevitable that the shape and future of the supermarket and hypermarket industry will be strongly influenced by the tech empires. To survive and thrive, incumbent retailers need to find ways to partner or co-exist.
