EXTRACT FROM
INTRODUCTION
'...Based upon our recalculations of retail sales, and based upon the growth in individual retail sectors as well as more recent macro-economic re-evaluations, Access Asia estimates that between 1999 and 2008, China¡¯s total retail market grew 280.94% in current terms to RMB8.50trn ¨C representing a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 16.02% over that period.
China¡¯s supermarket industry continues to develop rapidly. New chain store networks are emerging outside the top three cities of Beijing, Guangzhou and Shanghai as retailers extend their reach into many second- and third-tier cities. There is beginning to be aggressive consolidation in the market, as larger operators swallow up smaller players.
Foreign supermarket and hypermarket chains, such as Carrefour, have already entered the market, but room for expansion in the tier-one cities is now limited. Much more attention is now being focused, by both foreign and domestic chains, on outlying suburbs, as well as provincial new towns and cities and now even rural areas. However, growth is hampered by bottlenecks and underdevelopment in the distribution infrastructure. Also, although consumer incomes and spending have grown significantly, average purchases are still very small, and margins remain tight making growth investment difficult without outside investment.
