  • Global Vs. Local-The Hungarian Retail Wars
    Journal of Business and Retail Management Research (JBRMR) October 2015 Global Vs. Local-The Hungarian Retail Wars Charles S. Mayer Reza M. Bakhshandeh Central European University, Budapest, Hungary Key Words MNE’s, SME’s, Hungary, FMCG Retailing, Cooperatives, Rivalry Abstract In this paper we explore the impact of the ivasion of large global retailers into the Hungarian FMCG space. As well as giving the historical evolution of the market, we also show a recipe on how the local SME’s can cope with the foreign competition. “If you can’t beat them, at least emulate them well.” 1. Introduction Our research started with a casual observation. There seemed to be too many FMCG (Fast Moving Consumer Goods) stores in Hungary, compared to the population size, and the purchasing power. What was the reason for this proliferation, and what outcomes could be expected from it? Would the winners necessarily be the MNE’s, and the losers the local SME’S? These were the questions that focused our research for this paper. With the opening of the CEE to the West, large multinational retailers moved quickly into the region. This was particularly true for the extended food retailing sector (FMCG’s). Hungary, being very central, and having had good economic relations with the West in the past, was one of the more attractive markets to enter. We will follow the entry of one such multinational, Delhaize (Match), in detail. At the same time, we will note how two independent local chains, CBA and COOP were able to respond to the threat of the invasion of the multinationals.

    1 COVID-19: A RETROSPECTIVE FROM IGD IGD Economics provides you with impartial analysis on how economic, social and political issues impact the food and consumer goods industry. igd.com/charitable-impact/economics TABLE OF CONTENTS Foreword by Susan Barratt, CEO of IGD Chapter 1: Rapid changes in shopper demand and mindset Chapter 2: The need for hygiene and safety Chapter 3: A highly restricted ‘normality’ Chapter 4: Food retail and supply made a ‘frontline’ service Chapter 5: Close contact and coordination with the government Chapter 6: A focus on feeding the vulnerable Chapter 7: Huge demand for home delivery Chapter 8: Fast-changing staffing needs and absenteeism Afterword Timeline of Events Contact details 2 FOREWORD BY SUSAN BARRATT, CEO OF IGD The last few months have been an extraordinary time for all of us. To live through and be part of something that has profoundly affected so many people is certainly worth some reflection. With this report we are seeking to document how the UK food and consumer goods industry responded in the initial phase of the COVID-19 pandemic, and to reflect on what we can learn to help us respond to any future shocks to supply chains. Personally, I have never been prouder to have been working in the food and consumer goods industry: seeing the energy with which our industry rapidly transformed its operations, implementing measures to keep employees and the public safe, maintaining food and grocery supplies under enormous pressure, delivering a lifeline for the vulnerable, and providing a feeling of normality in an unfamiliar world for the public at large.

  • Somerfield Plc / Wm Morrison Supermarkets Plc Inquiry
    APPENDIX B Key aspects of the economic analysis for Stage 1 of the local competitive effects methodology Part 1 Introduction 1. Stage 1 of our local competitive effects methodology involves identifying a local market in which to apply a screening rule. The local market has a product-market dimension (ie which fascias and sizes of store compete with each other) and a geographic-market dimension (ie how wide their customer catchment areas are). This appendix summarizes four key aspects of the economic analysis undertaken at Stage 1. 2. Our findings are that: • the product market used at Stage 1: — should not include the LADs, ie Aldi, Lidl and Netto, nor Marks & Spencer; but — should include all stores of 280 sq metres (3,000 sq feet) or more (including one-stop shops); • the geographic market used at Stage 1 should use 5-minute drive-time isochrones for urban stores and 10-minute drive-time isochrones for rural stores; and • in circumstances where an acquired store’s local market share was higher pre- merger (ie where it appears to have faced less competition) its margins also tended to be higher, especially in rural areas. A corollary of this result is that the local markets for which acquired stores’ market shares have been calculated by Somerfield may be relevant markets, especially in rural areas. 3. The remainder of this appendix is organized as follows. Part 2 reports the results of an analysis of the impact on Somerfield and Kwik Save sales of the opening of various competitor fascias, which helps to define the product market (ie which competing fascias constrain Somerfield and Kwik Save).

  • The Benelux Food Retail Market Retail Foods Netherlands
    THIS REPORT CONTAINS ASSESSMENTS OF COMMODITY AND TRADE ISSUES MADE BY USDA STAFF AND NOT NECESSARILY STATEMENTS OF OFFICIAL U.S. GOVERNMENT POLICY Required Report - public distribution Date: 6/25/2012 GAIN Report Number: NL2014 Netherlands Retail Foods The Benelux Food Retail Market Approved By: Mary Ellen Smith Prepared By: Marcel Pinckaers Report Highlights: The turnover of the Benelux food retail industry for 2011 is estimated at € 56.3 billion. For 2012, turnover is expected to increase by 2.5 percent. The retail market is fairly consolidated. Top 3 food retailers in the Netherlands have a market share of 64 percent while in Belgium the leading 3 retailers have 72 percent of the market. Sustainable food (including organic products) is one of the most important growth markets in food retail. The market share for private label products continues to go up in both Belgium and the Netherlands. The demand for convenient, healthy and new innovative products continues to be strong. Post: The Hague SECTION I. MARKET SUMMARY Benelux Food Retail Market Approximately 80 percent of the Dutch food retail outlets are full service supermarkets, operating on floor space between 500 and 1,500 square meters located downtown and in residential areas. Retailers with full service supermarkets have responded to the need of the Dutch to have these supermarkets close to their house. The remaining 20 percent includes mainly convenience stores (near office buildings and train/metro stations), some wholesalers and just a few superstores (convenient located alongside highways in shopping malls and industrial parks). The Belgians show a different shopping pattern.
