Li & Fung Research Centre Member of the Li & Fung Group China Distribution & Trading Issue 89 August 2011 Department stores in China, 2011 Department stores1 have long been one of the major retailing channels in China. It is the chief distribution channel for branded apparel, cosmetics, jewelry and watches, etc, targeting mid-to-high income consumers. In the past decades, many consumer companies have viewed department stores as their top-of-choice retail channel to build brand recognition in China. That said, there is growing concern over department stores gradually losing appeal to Chinese consumers due to poor differentiation. Department stores operators are also facing increasing challenges from other format retailers such as shopping malls, internet retailers, outlets, etc. They are taking steps to improve operations. I. Overview 1. The total sales value of department stores in China was 249.8 billion yuan in 2009; sales of select member enterprises of the China Commerce Association for General Merchandise registered 17.5% growth in 2010 According to the National Bureau of Statistics of China (NBS), the total sales value of department stores was 249.8 billion in 2009 (Exhibit 1).

Li & Fung Research Centre 2 Member of the Li & Fung Group China Distribution & Trading Issue 89 August 2011 According to the China Commerce Association for General Merchandise (CCAGM), sales revenue of its 66 member department store operators climbed by 17.5% yoy in 2010 (see Exhibit 2). Most of the surveyed enterprises are leading department store operators in China.

Operation modes of department stores in China Department stores operators in China generate revenue from (1) commissions on concessionaire sales, (2) merchandise direct sales, (3) rental income from store tenants, (4) agency fee earned by serving as agents and (5) management fee etc. Commissions on concessionaire sales Under concessionaire sales arrangements, department store operators do not own the title to the goods. They enter into agreements with concessionaires and grant the latter the rights to sell the products in designated store areas. Department store operators generally provide a range of services including advertising, marketing, store decoration and renovation, inspection of goods, safety inspections, and centralized payment settlements. Concessionaires need to hand over a certain percentage of their total sales proceeds to department stores as commissions, usually with a guaranteed base-figure for sales each month (see Exhibit 4 for the concessionaire rate of select department operators listed in Hong Kong). Exhibit 4: Concessionaire rate of select department store operators, 2009-2010 2010 2009 Golden Eagle Retail Group Ltd. 20.0% 20.3% Intime Department Store (Group), Co., Ltd. 17.8% 18.0% New World Department Store China Ltd. 19.4% 20.3% Maoye International holdings Ltd. 17.5% 18.0% Source: company annual reports Merchandise direct sales Under direct sales arrangements, department store operators source and sell their own directly purchased merchandise. Department store operators own the title to the goods and profit from merchandise mark-ups. Li & Fung Research Centre 4 Member of the Li & Fung Group China Distribution & Trading Issue 89 August 2011 Rental income from store tenants Department store operators lease designated areas to other business operators and receive rental income. Department store operators do not own the title to the goods and are generally not responsible for sales management. Brand companies, as the tenants, need to pay rent, while all the revenue is independent of the department stores. Commissions on concessionaire sales are the predominant source of income Commissions on concessionaire sales are the predominant source of income for China’s department store operators. Take several listed department store operators as example. From Exhibit 5, we can see that commissions from concessionaire sales accounted for more than 50% of the total sales proceeds. That said, compared to previous years, Intime, Golden Eagle and New World Department Store were less dependent on concessionaire sales and have put more focus on merchandise direct sales. Exhibit 5: Revenue breakdown of department store operators from select companies, 2010 Intime Golden Eagle New World Parkson Department Store Commissions from concessionaire sales 60.87% 70.56% 63.91% 58.42% Sale of goods - direct sales 31.64% 27.60% 21.22% 36.20% Rental income 6.35% 1.49% 6.63% 4.59% Management fee income from the operation of 1.14% 0.35% 8.24% 0.79% department stores Source: company annual reports III. Competitive landscape 1. Compared with many mature markets, China’s department store sector is very fragmented According to China Chain Store and Franchise Association (CCFA), among the top 100 retail chain operators in 2010 (hereafter the top 100s), there were 35 players chiefly operating the department store format (see Exhibit 6). Their average growth of sales revenue and growth of number of stores was 23.2% and 18.5% respectively in 2010.

Exporters should be aware of several new trends that are changing China’s retail landscape. Imported food consumption growth is shifting from China’s major coastal metropolitan areas (e.g., Shanghai; Beijing) to dozens of emerging market cities. China is also experimenting with new retail models, such as 24-hour unstaffed convenience stores and expanded mobile payment platforms. E-commerce sales continue to grow, but major e-commerce retailers are competing for shrinking numbers of new consumers. We caution U.S. exporters not to consider China as a single retail market. Over the past 10 years, the Chinese middle-class has grown larger and more diverse, and China has become a collection of 1 niche markets separated by geography, culture, cuisine, demographics, and commercial trends. Competition for these markets has become fierce. Shanghai and the surrounding region continues to lead national retail trends, however Beijing and Guangzhou are also important centers of retail innovation. Chengdu and Shenyang are two key cities leading China’s economic expansion into international trade and commerce.
