Thailand's e-tailing market has witnessed significant growth in recent years, but is underpenetrated by global standards. The prolific use of smartphones (90% penetration) and rising 4G coverage should drive the next phase of growth. Many players have made strides over the past few years, but Thailand remains a fragmented market place and presents huge opportunities for e-tailing growth. ■ Two obstacles to overcome. Payments and logistics are two impediments that are preventing Thailand from seeing 'hockey stick growth'. The introduction of a nationwide e-wallet system and growing credit and debit card usage could increase adoption of e-payment channels. Logistics is more of a structural challenge, but CPALL's unique and extensive logistics network could emerge as a delivery point platform to tackle this. ■ One winner. CPALL is the best listed play for e-tailing potential. Its most extensive logistics and stores network gives CPALL a cost advantage. In this early stage where trust is a clear issue, CPALL's 24-hour counter payment would also give a first-mover advantage before an e-payment platform takes off. These advantages, in our view, will allow CPALL to reap substantial benefits from the potential in e-tailing. We raise our target price to Bt62 (from Bt54) to factor in the e-tailing potential and a roll over to mid-2017E. We reiterate our OUTPERFORM rating at a 12-month P/E of 24x, 1 s.d. below the five-year average.

Internet retailing sales crossed the US$1 bn threshold in 2014 by an average of >20% per and now accounts for 1.6% of total retail sales. While this is a considerable increase from year since 2009 half a decade ago, Thailand looks underpenetrated by global standards: countries with more developed e-commerce markets such as South Korea, China and the US all have penetration levels >5%. That said, Thailand is a standout among ASEAN peers, only behind Singapore in terms of market penetration. In looking at various building blocks vital for e-tailing growth—credit card, internet and smartphone penetration—Thailand compares favourably in the region. A datapoint we believe investors should note is rapid growth in smartphone penetration. This is significant given broader global trends which point to e- commerce growth being driven by mobile. Despite promise seen thus far, two obstacles exist: (1) payments and (2) logistics. On payments, Thailand battles an aversion from consumers to adopt electronic payment methods. Cash on delivery (COD) remains the dominant mode of payment, with fear of being cheated the largest inhibitor to making online purchases. Logistics is a more structural issue, where lack of quality infrastructure makes last-mile delivery on a nationwide basis complex. Why growth should accelerate We see many encouraging signs which could spearhead growth and tackle some of the Multiple factors suggesting present issues in e-tailing. Investments in Thai e-commerce is rife, with Alibaba acquiring more growth to come Lazada and Central Group taking over Zalora Thailand. CPALL has a unique and extensive logistics infrastructure network, which we believe it can leverage for pick-up and drop-off services throughout its CVS network. Growing credit and debit card use, and the introduction of a nationwide e-wallet system, could increase the adoption of electronic payment channels. For e-tailing, we see large opportunity in consumer electronics, appliances, beauty and apparel, where internet retailing penetration is low and growth is likely based on broader global e-tailing trends. Why CPALL is the best play Not many options are available in Thailand and CPALL is the best listed play on e-tailing CPALL's most extensive opportunities, in our view. Its most extensive logistics and stores network should give CPALL logistics and stores network a first-mover advantage to tap into the potential e-retailing market. Also, in this early stage makes it the best listed play where trust is the issue, CPALL would have a clear advantage via its 24-hour OTC payment on e-tailing opportunities system. This should allow CPALL to reap three major benefits. First, commission fees related to e-commerce service will increase. With the most extensive pickups, returns and drop-off in Thailand, 7-11 can act as a store hub with a payment point service. Second, sales generation from newly launched e-tailing websites will allow CPALL to virtually add over 20k- 25k SKUs and tap into sales of popular e-tailing product categories (electronics, appliances, apparel, etc.). Third, foot traffic to bricks-and-mortar stores will likely rise from rising e- commerce-related activities. According to management, c. 40-60% of people using CPALL's Counter Service will buy more products from its 7-11 stores. Risks We believe that as a part of CP Group, CPALL will see both risks and opportunities in the e-commerce market, with the latter likely more than compensating for the former. There could potentially be a conflict of interest between CP Group and CPALL, given, the potential large volume, we believe CPALL will have a net incremental benefit under this group structure.

Ahead of the busy holiday shopping season, the partnership aims to provide small retailers with more educational resources to improve their online presence, especially during this challenging year. On the ​Grow with Google site​, small businesses across Southeast Asia can access free short courses by Lazada University as well as new interactive minicourses via the Google Primer app. The training courses will cover topics such as business strategy and digital marketing and will help address barriers of entry to starting an online shop. Lazada merchants can access the co-created content directly on the Lazada University Portal, with curriculums tailored for each country. They can also participate in sessions conducted by Google experts that are live-streamed on the Lazada University site. “E-commerce has become an integral part of daily life for millions of Southeast Asians, and with more people shopping from home, we want to empower small businesses with the skills to thrive in this online environment,” said Ben King, Director, Google. “We've committed to train 3 million SME workers in Southeast Asia on digital skills, and have already provided training to 2 million individuals. We’re excited to partner with Lazada as they share their expertise and help us extend our support to thousands of merchants on their platform.” "We are also delighted to be partnering with Google on this initiative, which comes at just the right time, ahead of year-end mega shopping festivals like 11.11 and 12.12,” said ​Jon Chin, Regional Head of Seller Growth and Engagement at Lazada​.
