  • Press Release on IPLC Research 15March16.Pages
    ! How to discourage the drain-away of shoppers to discount retailers Introduction Market shares of discount retailers throughout Europe continue to grow. This retail format successfully competes on price, quality, consistency and simplicity. Discount retailers excel in minimising the quality gap and in maximising the price gap with national brands. Mainstream retailers have tried to keep shoppers in their stores by offering low-priced products in no-frills packaging. This strategy has failed dramatically, however. Research objective To identify the most effective strategy to counterbalance discount retailers like Aldi and Lidl IPLC researched the private label architecture of mainstream retailers in nine EU countries. Methodology (please find details at the end of this document) Basket value-indices of the national brand private label equivalent, the budget private label and the Lidl private label against the national brand within the mainstream retailer in nine EU markets were compared. Findings Price The research reveals that in the six countries that were also included in the research of 2014, the average price of the private label equivalent of the national brand is 33% lower than the national brand (32% in 2014). The average price of budget private label is 62% lower than the national brand (61% in 2014), whereas the average price of the private label in Lidl is 54% lower than the national brand (53% in 2014).

  • How Supermarkets Became Pandemic Winners While Women Workers Are Losing Out
    NOT IN THIS TOGETHER HOW SUPERMARKETS BECAME PANDEMIC WINNERS WHILE WOMEN WORKERS ARE LOSING OUT .........................REPORT OXFAM BRIEFING NOTE – JUNE 2021 This Oxfam briefing note presents compelling new evidence that supermarket shareholders and owners are some of the biggest winners in the COVID-19 pandemic. Booming business has allowed them to prioritize shareholder payouts while workers at the bottom of their supply chains particularly women – earn a pittance, with their rights violated. Women’s exploitation in supermarket supply chains is pervasive and systemic, and too often women are left carrying the financial burden of the pandemic. Supermarkets and governments are at a crossroads and must act. They must choose whether to build a better global retail model that focuses on the interests of women, workers and their communities – or carry on turning a blind eye to escalating inequality. © Oxfam International June 2021. This paper was written by Anouk Franck and Art Prapha. Oxfam acknowledges the assistance of many individuals and organizations in its production: Jacques-Chai Chomthongdi, Rachel Colbourne, Christina Corbett, Rukia Cornelius, Lies Craeynest, Ranjana Das, Gustavo Ferroni, Uwe Gneiting, Asim Saqlain, Irit Tamir, Rapatsa Trirath, Charlotte Vollaard, and Rachel Wilshaw. The paper is part of a series written to inform public debate on development and humanitarian policy issues. This paper aims to stimulate debate about improvements in working conditions and respect for human rights in supermarket supply chains. It does not constitute an offense nor is it intended to defame producers of Brazilian coffee, Pakistani rice, South African wine, seafood from Thailand or Assam tea from India. We shared the draft texts that mentioned company information with the respective supermarkets for comments.

  • Aldi, Edeka & Co. – Consumer Preferences and Store Image
    Aldi, Edeka & Co. – Consumer preferences and store image Aldi, Edeka & Co. – Konsumentenpräferenzen und Einkaufsstättenwahl Alexander STAUS1 Summary Store choice decisions in the food retailing industry have been widely discussed in the literature. The importance of pricing, quality and assortment is known, and the influence of socio-demographic variables is small. In this paper, a mixed nested logit model is used to study the relationship between specific attitudes of households and their store choice for fruits and vegetables in Germany. Household attitudes are about environment, freshness, organic food, prices and quality. An implied image ranking of stores regarding these attitudes can be established. The weekly farmers’ market has throughout a very high implied image, while the discounters Penny, Plus and Aldi enjoy good to average images. The supermarkets Edeka and Rewe get comparable bad results. Keywords: store choice, mixed nested logit, image, fruits and vegetables Zusammenfassung Über die Einkaufsstättenwahl im Lebensmitteleinzelhandel wurde bereits ausgedehnt diskutiert. Preise, Qualität und Sortiment spielen dabei eine wichtige Rolle, während soziodemographische Variablen eher unbedeutend für die Einkaufsstättenwahl sind. Ein „Mixed Nested Logit Modell“ untersucht den Zusammenhang zwischen der Einkaufsstättenwahl und bestimmten Einstellungsmerkmalen (Bio, Frische, Umwelt, Preis und Qualität) von Konsumenten für Obst und Gemüse in Deutschland. Ein implizites Image-Ranking bezüglich der betrachteten Variablen kann erstellt werden.

  • Retail Supermarket Globalization: Who’S Winning?
    RETAIL SUPERMARKET GLOBALIZATION: WHO’S WINNING? October 2001 CORIOLISRESEARCH Coriolis Research Ltd. is a strategic market research firm founded in 1997 and based in Auckland, New Zealand. Coriolis primarily works with clients in the food and fast moving consumer goods supply chain, from primary producers to retailers. In addition to working with clients, Coriolis regularly produces reports on current industry topics. Recent reports have included an analysis of the impact of the arrival of the German supermarket chain Aldi in Australia, answering the question: “Will selling groceries over the internet ever work?,” and this analysis of retail supermarket globalization. ! The lead researcher on this report was Tim Morris, one of the founding partners of Coriolis Research. Tim graduated from Cornell University in New York with a degree in Agricultural Economics, with a specialisation in Food Industry Management. Tim has worked for a number of international retailers and manufacturers, including Nestlé, Dreyer’s Ice Cream, Kraft/General Foods, Safeway and Woolworths New Zealand. Before helping to found Coriolis Research, Tim was a consultant for Swander Pace (now part of Kurt Salmon) in San Francisco, where he worked on management consulting and acquisition projects for clients including Danone, Heinz, Bestfoods and ConAgra. ! The coriolis force, named for French physicist Gaspard Coriolis (1792-1843), may be seen on a large scale in the movement of winds and ocean currents on the rotating earth. It dominates weather patterns, producing the counterclockwise flow observed around low- pressure zones in the Northern Hemisphere and the clockwise flow around such zones in the Southern Hemisphere. It is the result of a centripetal force on a mass moving with a velocity radially outward in a rotating plane.
