UK Supermarket Own Brands Share of the Market Likely to Remain Over 50% Up Until at Least 2017
M2 - Fri Mar 07, 4:29AM CST
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/ff8xtp/supermarket_own) has announced the addition of the "Supermarket Own Labels Market Report 2013" report to their offering. Supermarkets have been quick to respond to the increased demand for own-brand products, with many investing significant amounts of money into developing tiered private-label lines, such as good', better' and best' ranges. Even premium supermarket chains, such as Waitrose and Marks & Spencer (M&S), have cashed in on the trend towards discount ranges, with both retailers launching their own value grocery ranges essential Waitrose and Simply M&S, respectively in recent years. At the other end of the market, discount chains such as Aldi and Lidl have begun to develop their own premium private-label ranges, in order to appeal to a wider consumer base. While the author forecasts that sales of supermarket own-brand product ranges will continue to increase year-on-year between 2013 and 2017, it is likely that growth will slow somewhat over the next 5 years, as the economy begins to strengthen once again and consumer confidence returns. This, along with recent scandals, such as the horsemeat fiasco which has hit a number of grocery retailers hard in recent months could lead to consumers once again returning to the brands that they favoured pre-recession. Nevertheless, opportunities will still remain for many supermarket retailers to grow and develop their own-brand lines over the coming years, particularly across non-food categories. As a result, Key Note expects supermarket own brands to continue to dominate the grocery market over the next 5 years, with the share of the market represented by own brands likely to remain over 50% up until at least 2017.

M2 - Thu Feb 27, 6:54AM CST
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/wbb5jj/global_homewares) has announced the addition of the "Global Homewares Market 2014-2018" report to their offering. The analysts forecast the Global Homewares market to grow at a CAGR of 4.67 percent over the period 2013-2018. One of the key factors contributing to this market growth is the increase in household disposable income. The Global Homewares market has also been witnessing increasing demand from emerging economies. However, the low brand loyalty could pose a challenge to the growth of this market. Key vendors dominating this space are Bed Bath & Beyond Inc., IKEA International Groups, Lowe's Companies Inc., and Metro AG. Other vendors mentioned in the report are Ahold U.S.A. Inc., Aldi Inc., Arc Distribution South Africa Pty. Ltd., Carrefour SA, Continental China Pty. Ltd., Clicks Group Ltd., DCM Holdings Co. Ltd., Industria de Diseno Textil SA, Intime Retail Group Co. Ltd., J.C. Penny Company Inc., J Sainsbury plc, Kingfisher Plc, Leroy Merlin SA, Lifestyle International Pvt. Ltd., Future Group, Fred Meyer Inc., Marks and Spencer Group plc, Mr. Price Group, Nitori Holdings Co. Ltd., Prestige Housewares Ltd., Publix Super Markets Inc., Sears Holdings Corp., SuperValu Inc., Target Corp., Tesco plc, The Kroger Co., RONA Inc., Shop Direct Group, Shoppers Stop Ltd., TJX Companies Inc., Wm Morrison Supermarkets plc, and Wal-Mart Stores Inc. Commenting on the report, an analyst from the team said: The Homewares market in emerging countries such as in the APAC region and the MEA is expected to grow at a rapid pace during the forecast period. Countries such as Brazil, Russia, India, and China offer outstanding opportunities for vendors providing homewares. These countries have witnessed remarkable economic growth in recent years. Therefore, large sections of the population in these countries have progressed from the poverty level into the middle class and people in this segment have enough money to spend on homeware products to decorate their homes. Thus, the increasing demand for homeware products from emerging economies is a major trend that is expected to lead the growth of the Global Homewares market during the forecast period.

E-Commerce - The Internet Grocery Market Market Update 2014 Report
M2 - Fri Feb 14, 4:09AM CST
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/23mdf9/ecommerce_the) has announced the addition of the "E-Commerce - The Internet Grocery Market Market Update 2014" report to their offering. This Market Update examines the Internet grocery market within the UK, in particular focusing on developments within the supermarkets online sector and the niche or specialist suppliers sector of the market. E-commerce is a relatively new consumer marketplace within which existing in-store retailers, as well as emerging online-only retailers, are building on opportunities to expand and reach a wider consumer base via multi-channel strategies. In this sense, the marketplace is currently in a state of development and the market's value is rising at a double-digit growth rate each year, with an estimated 18% increase having occurred between 2012 and 2013. The supermarkets online sector largely consists of the dominant grocery retailers within the UK, notably the big four': Tesco, ASDA, Sainsbury's and Waitrose; as well as online-only brand Ocado. Dominating the marketplace through innovations in mobile technology such as customer-interfacing smartphone applications (apps), as well as expanding click-and-collect services and distribution coverage, the market leaders are able to provide convenient services to a wide customer base. Although accounting for the minority share of the market's value, niche and specialist suppliers have been increasing their presence in recent years as several small businesses are emerging within the marketplace and building on opportunities to fill gaps in the market in terms of organic produce, dietary requirements, healthy diet plans and specialist niche food produce. One of the key trends driving the success of the e-commerce grocery market is the roll out of household broadband services throughout the UK demographic, with a higher proportion of consumers each year having access and regular usage of Internet technology. Tablet devices and smartphones have widened opportunities for competitors to create online apps so that grocery retail sites can be accessed and e-commerce orders can be placed while people are on the move. Other trends discussed in relation to the scope of the report include changes in consumer tendencies, issues impacting on the sourcing of food produce and the costs of food products in the UK market, as well as new product development (NPD) and innovation. Despite the revenue potential and continuing market growth of the industry, several leading grocery competitors are yet to enter the e-commerce market. Further companies are expected to take advantage of the opportunities e-commerce offers within the following years, leading the authors to estimate that the market will almost double in value over the coming 5-year period between 2014 and 2018.

Supermarket Services 2013
M2 - Tue Sep 03, 9:26AM CDT
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/vndklq/supermarket) has announced the addition of the "Supermarket Services 2013" report to their offering. Over the past couple of decades, UK supermarkets have been expanding and diversifying their activities, with many now offering a wide range of services such as financial products, utilities, restaurants and catering facilities, telecommunications and Internet services, health products and pharmacies, and a number of other miscellaneous services, such as digital entertainment portals, dry cleaning and automotive services. The deregulation of a number of products and services such as pharmacies, the UK energy market and, more recently, legal services has encouraged supermarket expansion across a range of new market sectors; as has the large-scale operations and market presence that such retailers have, with the increased footfall achieved by supermarket operators driving interest in new products and services. As a result, many of the larger supermarket chains have become one-stop shops for consumers by providing a range of services catering to various requirements and needs. According to this report, total revenues generated by the leading UK supermarket chains within the services sector grew by 7.5% in 2012, with a recent push by many of the major multiple retailers to expand within the financial services sector driving much of this growth. For example, both Tesco and Marks & Spencer (M&S) embarked on significant expansion plans for their respective banking businesses, with Tesco launching mortgage products for the first time during August 2012; and M&S announcing plans to introduce a chain of 50 in-store banking branches in some of its larger shops across the UK over the next 2 years. More recently, Sainsbury's announced in May 2013 that it had taken full control of its financial business, Sainsbury's Bank, after revealing that it had acquired the remaining 50% share of the business from original partners Lloyds Banking Group. These moves reflect a growing assault on traditional high-street banking groups being waged by the supermarkets, which has been aided by the ongoing economic recovery, as well as rising consumer demand for alternatives to traditional retail banks, with the financial sector being hit by a string of scandals in recent years such as the Libor debacle, payment protection insurance (PPI) scandals and IT system failures. The next few years are likely to be tarred somewhat by slower-than-expected economic recovery in the UK, which will serve to dampen consumer spending somewhat. However, the ability of supermarkets to undercut traditional high-street retailers in terms of price may help to attract consumers seeking cheaper alternatives. Current growth areas, such as financial services, digital entertainment, legal services, and restaurants and catering should also help to drive sales within the supermarket services sector over the following years. These areas will also encourage new concept stores and the development of larger supermarket outlets as retail destinations'. As such, the authors estimate the sales of supermarket services to increase by 39.9% between 2013 and 2017, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of approximately 8.5% forecast for the next 5 years.
