151016 CB China Power of Retailing 2015 CN.Docx
China Power of Retailing 2015 China Power of Retailing 2015 1 Foreword 2015 has witnessed the recovery of a global economy and the gradual stabilization of a real economy in China. While the Eurozone economy continues to improve, the differentiation among its economies remains noticeable. “Abeconomics” throws Japan into deep recession. The United States of America, as the only exception, enters the trajectory of a strong recovery and the US dollar has appreciated sharply against other major world currencies. Its well-anticipated rise in interest rate in the fourth quarter forebodes an accelerated devaluation of currencies in most emerging economies. As a result, the pressure on devaluating RMB is mounting. With a slowed growth rate, the Chinese economy has arrived at the stage of new normal. The YoY growth for the first half of the year lingers around 7%, hindered by the deceleration of the three engines that used to propel GDP growth – a sluggish export, a slow growth in investment and a domestic consumption that continues to fall behind expectation. Although the growth rate of the total retail of consumer goods has dropped, it has far outpaced the domestic industrial growth. With the consumer confidence seeing constant improvement that will further free up consumption potential, consumption is expected to continue pulling the economy in the future. A continued fall in oil prices has offset the inflationary pressure, curbing the inflation at a lower level to make room for executing a lax monetary policy. To further boost investment and consumption, and reduce enterprise financing costs, the government has gradually redirected its macro economy from “stabilize growth and adjust structure” to “ensure growth,” making the lowering of interest rate and reserve ratio possible in the second half of the year. -
RSCI Pioneered the Hypermarket Concept in the Philippines Through Shopwise
Rustan Supercenters, Inc. (RSCI), a member of the Rustan Group of Companies, was founded in 1998 at the height of the Asian Economic Crisis. It was the first Rustan Company to take in outside investors. It was also the Rustan Group’s first major foray into the discount retailing segment through an adapted European style hypermarket. RSCI pioneered the hypermarket concept in the Philippines through Shopwise. Armed with the vision of providing Quality for All, the Company sought to make the renowned Rustan’s quality accessible to all, especially the middle and working class. Its mission is to create a chain of supercenters or hypermarkets which is the needs of the Filipino family. Rustan’s decision to diversify into hypermarkets was borne out of manifest opportunities brought about by fundamental changes that are taking place in the Philippine market: a burgeoning middle class; increasing value consciousness across various income levels; and new geographical market opportunities that are best served through discount retailing operations. RSCI developed and opened the first hypermarket in the country in November 29, 1998 in Alabang. From 40 employees, it now employs more than 6,000 employees The Company has attained much success since its inception. From 40 employees, it now employs more than 6,000 employees. From sales of zero, the Company registered sales of over P17B in fiscal year 2012-2013. From one hypermarket in Filinvest Alabang, it has now grown to 46 stores covering multiple retail formats, namely, hypermarkets, upscale supermarkets, and neighborhood grocery stores. November 2006 marked yet another milestone for RSCI when it has acquired the 21 Rustan’s stores and food services operations under an Asset Lease Agreement. -
Press Release
PRESS RELEASE 23 October 2017 DCH and CITIC Pacific establish an investment fund Increasing exposure to the consumer and healthcare sectors of Asia Dah Chong Hong Holdings Limited (“DCH”, stock code: 1828.HK) announced today that it will partner with its parent company, CITIC Pacific Limited (“CITIC Pacific”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of CITIC Limited, to establish an investment fund – Tamar Alliance (“Tamar Alliance Fund” or “Fund”). The Tamar Alliance Fund seeks long term capital appreciation through investments in companies in the consumer or healthcare sector. The Fund will initially have US$80 million contributed by DCH and CITIC Pacific equally and will seek for further limited partners. Strategic Rationale Increase exposure to growing market opportunity The Asian market for consumer goods and healthcare products is large and growing rapidly, driven by rising demand from an increasingly affluent middle class across Greater China and Southeast Asia. It is also at the beginning of a long and rich development path. By combining resources with CITIC Pacific and other potential Fund participants, DCH is positioning itself to secure greater exposure to this significant market opportunity. Build a more sustainable business With nearly 70 years of experience working alongside over 1,000 brands, DCH is a leading player in the distribution of consumer and healthcare products in Asia. By establishing the Fund to invest directly into companies in this space, DCH will not only increase its exposure to the overall market, but build a virtuous circle in its existing distribution business. Target companies that receive investment from Tamar Alliance Fund will benefit from more than additional capital. -

RISKS of SOURCING SEAFOOD in HONG KONG SUPERMARKETS 2019 Every Retailer in the City Must Take a Lead to Help Transform Hong Kong Into Asia’S Most Sustainable City
RISKS OF SOURCING SEAFOOD IN HONG KONG SUPERMARKETS 2019 Every retailer in the city must take a lead to help transform Hong Kong into Asia’s most sustainable city The United Nations’ recent global assessment on biodiversity and ecosystem services sounded a warning that around one million species already face extinction, many within decades, unless action is taken to reduce the intensity of drivers of biodiversity loss. More than a third of all marine mammals are currently threatened. Without proper management of fishing practices and transparent seafood supply chains, there will be degradation of natural habitats and a drop in food security levels in seafood. Ultimately, it will affect the profitability of all businesses that rely on seafood. Hong Kong is the second largest per capita consumer of seafood in Asia. We import over 90% of our seafood from over 170 countries and territories around the world. Our seafood choices affect marine fisheries resources worldwide. As Hong Kong supermarkets play an increasingly important role in supplying seafood to consumers, they can also be crucial in making sustainable seafood more publicly accessible. In October 2016, WWF-Hong Kong published the first report detailing how local supermarket giants were selling globally threatened species and seafood products associated with environmental, social and legal problems. By documenting their existing practices and educating supermarkets about the impacts of their seafood sales on marine resources and our oceans, we sought to raise public awareness and collectively encourage them to set up a comprehensive sustainable seafood procurement policy. There are 29 chain supermarket brands in Hong Kong owned by a total of nine groups or companies comprising over 70% market share in the city’s food retail sector. -
Vietnam Retail Food
Required Report: Required - Public Distribution Date: June 25, 2021 Report Number: VM2021-0054 Report Name: Retail Foods Country: Vietnam Post: Hanoi Report Category: Retail Foods Prepared By: Kiet Vo Approved By: Benjamin Petlock Report Highlights: Vietnam’s total retail sales were estimated at approximately $172 billion, up 6.8 percent over 2019, with food and beverage accounting for approximately 30 percent. Effective control of COVID-19 has allowed the retail sector to overcome short-term challenges and constraints while strong economic growth, increasing foreign investment, benefits from free trade agreements, a growing middle class with higher disposable incomes, and rapid urbanization continue to drive long-term sustainable growth. Vietnam’s modern retail food channels have seen expansions, exits, and mergers and acquisitions in 2020 and 2021. While e-commerce and food delivery services continue to enjoy sustainable growth, sales in traditional retail food channels have declined due to changes in consumer shopping habits as a result of COVID-19.

Survey to Understand Consumer Attitudes Toward Food Waste by F&B Companies in Singapore
Report – Survey To Understand Consumer Attitudes Toward Food Waste By F&B Companies In Singapore Survey was conducted by the Chua Thian Poh Community Leadership Programme, National University of Singapore Abstract This study aims to investigate consumer perceptions toward food waste generated by the food and beverage (F&B) sector in Singapore. A survey questionnaire was devised and 428 valid responses were obtained. The results were analysed using SPSS and are presented in the Results section. The key findings of the survey are summarised as follows: 1. More than 90% of the participants are concerned about the food waste generated in Singapore and more than 83% of participants found it unacceptable for F&B companies in Singapore to waste food. 2. Close to 50% of the participants named NTUC FairPrice as a company whose food waste reducing strategy will be of interest to them. The same question yielded approximately 38% of responses for BreadTalk. 3. Participants are most interested in how retail supermarkets handle food waste, with NTUC FairPrice, Cold Storage, Giant and Sheng Siong among the top 10 most named companies. 4. An overwhelming majority of the respondents stated that they want to see F&B companies „donate unsold, excess and near-expiry food that is still safe for consumption to the charities„ (91.1%) and „sell unsold, excess and near- expiry food that is still safe for consumption at a discount‟ (83.6%) in their bid to curb food waste. 5. Participants are willing to support F&B companies which adopt strategies to reduce food waste by helping them spread the word for their efforts (>80%). -
Retail (Overweight)
July 6, 2012 2H12 Outlook Report Industry Report Retail (Overweight) Daewoo Securities Co., Ltd. Mina Kim +822-768-4163 [email protected] Jieun Lee +822-768-3265 [email protected] Sunny days ahead In 2H12, we anticipate domestic consumption to pick up, driven by improving consumer sentiment and the structural growth of new retail channels, along with low base effect. Domestic consumption stagnated during 1H12, affected by factors such as declining disposable income, dampened consumer sentiment (amid an economic slump), and high base effect. In particular, spending restraint (due to wide economic uncertainties), greater household debt burdens (resulting from jeonse surges), and declining asset values drove down consumption and sentiment. For the department store segment, we expect a considerable recovery in 2H. We forecast department store sales growth to pick up starting in 3Q12 (after showing deterioration since 3Q11). With consumers becoming increasingly price-conscious, SPA (specialty-store retailers of private label (PL) apparel) brands and low-end cosmetics are likely to stay strong in 2H (regardless of economic conditions). We attribute this to their successful efforts to provide quality products at reasonable prices and effective marketing. Given their strong competitiveness, we expect these types of companies to display hyper growth going forward. We believe that new retail channels (e.g., convenience stores, category killers) still have ample room for growth. The convenience store segment is likely to expand in light of the increase in single households, consumers seeking convenience in shopping, and the reinforcement of product merchandising. Category killers (e.g., electronic appliance segment) are also likely to show structural growth on the back of product diversification and consumersÊ increasing awareness of product values. -
