Accessing the ASEAN Consumer Market: Fashion and Accessories (Distribution Channels 2) | HKTDC 29 Aug 2018 Accessing the ASEAN Consumer Market: Fashion and Accessories (Distribution Channels 2) Concept stores, multi-brand stores and department stores, are the dominant distribution channels for fashion and accessories in major cities of ASEAN. Hong Kong fashion brands, designers and exporters may find the right distribution channels which match their product positioning to tap the opportunities in the region. For details of other distribution channels, please refer to “Accessing the ASEAN Consumer Market: Fashion and Accessories (Distribution Channels 1)”. Department Stores ASEAN consumers have become more sophisticated and they demand unique products that resonate with their lifestyle. This has drawn consumers away from traditional department stores. Luxury fashion brands have taken matters into their own hand by opening their single-brand stores and limiting their wholesale offering to specialty retailers. This has further forced department stores to rethink their role and strategies amid the shift in fashion retail. Department stores’ biggest asset is their card members. Through customer loyalty programmes and good after-sale service, department stores cultivate and maintain strong relationship with these VIP members. For instance, the Mall Group, the top shopping malls developer and department store operator in Thailand, has more than 3 million members, of which 70% are active customers. Central also invites customers to join The 1 Card. This loyalty card programme offers a vast array of benefits, such as points for shopping, special promotions and offers that are dedicated to The 1 Card members. In addition, Central presents the exclusive Diamond Society Club for its loyal patrons. Diamond Society members have privileged services dedicated to them, with access to the Premiere Lounge, reserved parking, a personal assistant in-store, home and hotel delivery and exclusive invitations to special Central Department Store Indonesia events. Department stores also know how to provide additional reasons for consumers to visit stores – sales events are powerful tools to stimulate consumption. Apart from traditional holidays, November 11th (Single’s Day) has also become a special festival in ASEAN in recent years, presenting a huge promotion opportunity for major department stores to offer coupons and deep discounts to their patrons. Today, consumers may have the choice to buy online, yet they still like to see what is on offer in person. People visit department stores not just for shopping, but also to get a good snapshot of current fashion trends. Successful department stores can transform shopping to recreation and amusement, and an escape from the routine. Major Department Stores in ASEAN 1 Accessing the ASEAN Consumer Market: Fashion and Accessories (Distribution Channels 2) Indonesia Traditional department stores in Indonesia are facing stiff competition. There are many department stores in the major first-tier and second-tier cities, both within and outside Java. The Thai department store sector could be seen as saturated. Matahari Department Store, the nation’s largest chain, focuses on lower-income and middle-income consumers, operates over 150 stores across Indonesia. In September 2017, Matahari announced that it would close two department stores in Jakarta, but at the same time open new department stores in other parts of Indonesia as the company remains optimistic about the prospects of the department store sector in Indonesia.[1] Amid the Indonesian consumers’ changing shopping habits, Ramayana Department Store also announced in August 2017 the closure of eight stores (in Surabaya, Banjarmasin, Bulukumba, Bogor, Pontianak and Sabang) as part of a transformation of its retail strategy in response to global retail trend changes.[2] Moreover, retail giant, PT Mitra Adiperkasa (MAP), announced the closure of Lotus and Debenhams in Indonesia by the end of 2017. MAP is consolidating its department store business and focusing on its SOGO, SEIBU and Galeries Lafayette outlets. Fetty Kwartati, Corporate Secretary and Head of Investor Relations for MAP, said the shopping trends of the millennial generation in Indonesia have shifted from department stores to specialty outlets.[3] Metro is a Singapore and Indonesia-based chain department store selling cosmetics, apparel and fashion accessories. The department store currently has 13 outlets located across Singapore and Indonesia offering merchandise from international labels and famous local brands. While old players are consolidating, new players continue to enter the country, notable examples include South Korean Lotte Department Store, Parkson from Malaysia, and Thai retailer, Central. Exclusive brands that are only sold at Central Department Store Indonesia include Scotch & Soda from The Netherlands, Vivienne Tam from Hong Kong, Maison Margiela from France, COCCINELLE from Italy, and EVISU from Japan. These premium department stores usually target affluent consumers living in the country’s major cities, especially Jakarta. Facing a high influx of foreign players, Indonesia's conventional department store industry needs to come up with a new strategy or shopping concept to stay competitive. Malaysia Department stores remain an important fashion distribution channel in Malaysia, as most shopping malls in the country still have a department store as the primary anchor tenant. Metrojaya has grown to operate a chain of eight department stores since the opening of its first store in 1976. The department store seeks out the newest lines and wide selection in fashion and lifestyle, including international brands. 2 Accessing the ASEAN Consumer Market: Fashion and Accessories (Distribution Channels 2) Both Parkson and Metrojaya have started to upgrade their product portfolios to include a wider selection of brands to target middle- and high-income consumers. However, these retailers are still some distance from becoming luxury department stores, as most products still have to be affordable for the mass market. ISETAN in Kuala Lumpur is a high-end department store providing unique Japanese Parkson’s flagship store at Pavilion Kuala Lumpur. products and offering plenty of experiences that showcase the ‘real Japan’. It is also the biggest ISETAN store outside Japan. The Singapore-based Robinsons Department Store is positioned at the mid-to high-end segment, with a focus on Kuala Lumpur. It emphasises high-quality customer services and brands that are exclusive to Robinsons. Sprawled across four floors, its new flagship store offers a wide range of international fashion brands catering to young consumers. British department stores, like Debenhams and Marks & Spencer can be found in key shopping malls. Marks & Spencer targets mid-aged female customers rather than millennials. As such, it focuses on fashion items with classic designs and high quality fabrics, while keeping prices at the mid-range. Debenhams promises to give Malaysians the best of British fashion at great prices. However, they both need to wean themselves off constant promotions, as customers have got used to buying on sale. Thailand In Thailand, the department store is a landmark building and a focal point for the local community. Department stores are places where family and friends can gather together, enjoy food and other recreational activities. Department stores are also key places to organise indoor events, such as new product launch, festive and holiday events, and small concerts, etc. Department store competition in Thailand is very fierce, as the country is crowded with numerous brands. Most high-end department stores are clustered in the Siam, Chidlom, and Phrom Pong areas. Examples of luxury department stores are Siam Paragon, Central Embassy and The EmQuartier. Central Group is the leading mall developer, keeping various department stores brands within Siam Paragon in Bangkok its portfolio, including Central Department Store, Robinson Department Store and Zen, as well as managing Marks & Spencer and MUJI. Its various brands are targeted towards different segments. Central Department Store is positioned in the mid- to high-end market, whereas Robinson Department Store serves lower- to middle-income consumers. The main Central Group rival is The Mall Group. The Mall Group operates The Mall department stores, Siam Paragon, The Emporium, and The EmQuartier. The company aims to focus more on young consumers and tourists in the future. Building a large 3 Accessing the ASEAN Consumer Market: Fashion and Accessories (Distribution Channels 2) shopping centre in Phuket is part of its development plan. Some department stores have introduced fun parks and water parks for children to enjoy while their parents shop inside. Music and language education centres and entertainment halls are also located in key department stores, such as Siam Paragon and Central World. Opportunities Presented by Department Stores Department stores are many brands or suppliers’ top distribution channel due to high customer traffic. Non-branded products are less suitable for this channel, however. Unbranded goods are less likely to be selected by department stores and even if they get a foot in the door they must pay high space rentals and ratio of gross profit sharing. Department stores take a cut of 20-40% on sales, depending on product category and brand strength, but the norm is around 35%. Non-branded products are expected to pay a higher sales commission. In recent years, department stores that sell popular global brands also face

  • Accessing the ASEAN Consumer Market: Toys and Games (Distribution Channels)
    3 June 2019 Accessing the ASEAN Consumer Market: Toys and Games (Distribution Channels) Across many ASEAN nations in recent years, the toys and game industry has continued to be affected by the increasing popularity of online shopping. This migration affects some toy categories more than others. E-commerce already dominates the baby and pre-school toys market as parents are the key decision makers in the purchase of these sorts of toys and are inclined to search for these products online to find the best deals. Despite the rise of e-commerce, bricks-and-mortar stores are still the preferred channel for some categories of toys, especially dolls, superhero action figures, board games, and science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) toys. Purchases of these sorts of toys and games are highly driven by children’s choice, and parents like to try them out with their kids before buying them. This kind of shopping activity can enhance the bond between parent and child. Going shopping together for toys is a favourite activity for many families, especially during holiday seasons. Hong Kong toymakers and suppliers eyeing the ASEAN market need to keep aware of developments in both online and offline channels in order not to miss opportunities. Toys and Games Specialist Stores Toys and games specialist stores are a one-stop shop for toys, games, parties and gifts. They remain a preferred option for many ASEAN families shopping for traditional toys for children over three years old – toys such as dolls, action figures, board games and STEM toys. However, older children and teens in ASEAN are becoming increasingly reliant on their smartphones and social media at an early age.

  • Thailand – a Nation of Shopkeepers? by Stephen Frost, Price Sanond
    Thailand – a nation of shopkeepers? by Stephen Frost, Price Sanond Introduction: In this article, we discuss recent developments in the retailing world in Thailand, and the legal rules that apply to foreign retailers operating in Thailand. Recent changes: The most recent developments in Thailand during 2020 are these: CP Group has taken over 87% of the TESCO Lotus supermarket chain from TESCO UK Central Group has bought out the 49% ownership interest of the Japanese parent company in the Family Mart convenience store chain. As they already owned 51%, they are now the outright owners of the chain. ISETAN department store of Japan, have announced that they will close one of their two department stores in Bangkok. TOKYU department stores of Japan will close both their Bangkok outlets. In contrast, Takashimaya Department have opened their first Thailand outlet at the ICON SIAM shopping mall in Bangkok. In recent years, several foreign mass retailers have withdrawn from Thailand, albeit for different reasons in each case. MAKRO (Netherlands), Food Lion (Belgium), and CASINO and Carrefour (both from France) have sold out their businesses in Thailand. In contrast, Lawson, the convenience store retailer from Japan, has come into Thailand through a joint venture with SAHA Group. The US mass retailers Walmart and Kmart, and the German discount retailers, Lidl and Aldi, have never entered Thailand. Regarding UK retailers, Marks & Spencer has been present in Thailand for over 20 years, through a store-in-store concept within branches of Central Department Stores. However this is the only UK department store/supermarket chain that has established a retailing presence in Thailand, apart from TESCO.
