Home shopping to fall in Czech Republic with the Advent of Online Retailing: Ken Research

In the retail segment globally, it is the online channel which is set to grow fastest in the years to come and hypermarkets, supermarkets and hard-discounters have been seen recording the highest sales values in the channel. However, things have not been equally bright for the home shopping segment in the retail business.
Home shopping in Europe is worth around 3.6% of all retail sales. The proportions are more eminent in Northern Europe but in quite a few parts of southern Europe the industry barely exists.
The analysis of the Czech Republic in central Europe showed a negative growth of the home shopping retail segment; especially in the past few years such that the channel has registered further significant value sales decrease over the years. This poor performance can be attributable to the strong competition that internet retailing and store-based outlets have been giving the home shopping segment. Also, home shopping has been negatively influenced by the departure of a few home shopping operators who were formerly very successful and popular e.g. Quelle and Neckermann.
According to the report titled “Home shopping in Czech Republic”, home shopping declined by 6% in 2016 in current value terms and the main challenge faced (which was the prime reason driving the poor performance) was of strengthening online sales, as well as strong price competition from brick-and-mortar store retailers, both of which are negatively affecting home shopping in Czech Republic.
The report offers insight into key trends and developments driving the industry and examines all retail channels (which include hypermarkets, supermarkets, discounters, convenience stores, mixed retailers, health and beauty retailers, clothing and footwear retailers, furniture and furnishing stores, DIY and hardware stores, durable goods retailers, leisure and personal goods retailers) to provide sector-wise insight.
The products covered are “Apparel and Footwear through Home shopping”, “Beauty and Personal Care Home shopping”, “Consumer Appliances Home shopping”, “Consumer Electronics Home shopping”, “Consumer Healthcare Home shopping”, “Food and Drink Home shopping”, “Home Care Home shopping”, “Home Improvement and Gardening Home shopping”, “House wares and Home Furnishings Home shopping”, “Media Products Home shopping”, “Other Home shopping”, “Personal Accessories and Eyewear through Home shopping”, “Pet Care Home shopping”, “Traditional Toys and Games Home shopping”, and “Video Games Hardware Home shopping”.
The leader in the competitive landscape of home shopping in 2016 has been noticed to be “Cemod”, which has operated the brands “Magnet Blanche Porte” and “Magnet 3 Pagen”, and specialises in apparel and home wares. Cemod has a simple presence online and struggles to make the customer’s shopping experience a simple and smooth one. It benefits from the large number of subscribers to the Magnet catalogue. Eismann, Otto, Top Shop and Reader’s Digest have been the other leading brands which accounted for high value shares in 2016.
In the years to come, it is expected that home shopping will see a negative value growth rate and will lose a large number of customers to other forms of retailing, especially internet retailing. Thus, to survive, companies selling through catalogues will have no option than to develop their online channels and increase the share of revenues coming from internet retailing.

Danish Hot Drinks to Prosper With Improving Demand: Ken Research

Denmark has maintained itself to be 39th largest national economy in the world measured by nominal gross domestic product and 60th largest in the world if measured by purchasing power parity. It has long possessed a mixed economy based on services and manufacturing. It greatly depends on human resources along with few significant and valuable natural resources available.
The ameliorating Danish economy, conglomerated with increasingly busy and mobile lifestyles led by Danes, have been seen as the main driving factors behind declining volume sales of standard fresh ground coffee, which decreased about 2% in 2016. At the other end of the spectrum the same trends have driven the growth in fresh ground coffee pods, which saw 2016 volume growth.
According to the report, “Hot Drinks in Denmark”, the strong health and wellness trend, which persisted in 2016, has resulted in growing tea volume sales. Although Denmark remains a predominantly coffee-drinking nation, tea still persists to earn ground on coffee as many consumers view tea as a healthier hot beverage than coffee. The main reasons of growth in tea in 2016 were black speciality tea, which recorded a noticeable retail volume growth in 2016, as well as green tea and herbal/traditional medicinal teas, which both saw significant growth in retail sales volume.
Merrild Kaffe has remained the key player in hot drinks in 2016 with a stable value share following its acquisition by Lavazza SpA in 2015. The company has stayed the leading player in coffee because of its strong brand positioning and has also been observed to be the leading player in tea where Denmark’s most popular tea brand, Pickwick is marketed well.
The enhancing Danish economy and the majorly mobile and busy lifestyles of Danes have prolonged to speed up demand for higher quality products and more convenience. As a result of evolving demand, these trends have also been at the centre of many new product developments in Denmark. The product that acquires a position at intersection point of the existing trends has been fresh ground coffee pods, which has registered strong growth rates in 2016 because of the premium quality image and great convenience offered by the same.
Other hot drinks in Denmark have been observed to be dominated by the large players as the two leading companies Nestlé Denmark and Mondelez Denmark held majority retail value shares in 2016. Nestlé Denmark markets two of the leading brands in Denmark, Nesquik as well as the Nestlé Choco Hot brand. Both of these have had a long presence in the country and have relished a high level of brand recognition as well as widespread distribution and strong shelf positioning in retail outlets. Nesquik in particular, with its Nesquik bunny and colourful packaging has remained very famous among Danish children.
Hot drinks total volume sales are expected to register a slightly declining CAGR in the future majorly driven by decreasing coffee volume sales. In consistency with the move towards more premium quality and higher convenience, standard fresh ground coffee is set to persist recording a downfall while fresh coffee beans, fresh ground coffee pods and instant coffee mixes will continue to grow, though not swift enough to compensate for the drop in standard fresh coffee sales. A reason behind the decline in volume sales is viewed to be usage of single serve coffee products like pods that usually results in less wastage compared to traditional coffee brewing methods such as coffee machines or cafeterias. Cumulatively, the hot drinks market will definitely reach better positions in the coming years than before but pace would be quite slow.

China Witnessing Dynamic Growth in Alcoholic Beverages Sector: ken Research

Rum, cognac, whiskies and champagne are the categories of western style products which have prolonged to be dominated by international players in the Chinese market. In 2016, with the alcoholic drinks, domestic companies have been observed to continue to account for the lion's share in terms of total volume. No doubt that the consumers in China prefer to purchase higher quality products but in lesser volumes that has primarily led to a negative impact of total volume sales on alcoholic drinks in 2016.
To compact the competition from foreign imports, many marketing strategies have been introduced. The leading grape winery in China has well accelerated global acquisition of other wine firms in Europe named Yantai Changyu Pioneer Wine Co. With the growing share of high-ended products, esteemed beer companies are also optimizing their product mix, which in turn is going to capture ever changing demand for consumers.
According to the report, “Alcoholic Drinks in China”, in 2016, there has been a significant growth in demand for wine and spirits. Especially, rice wine, light grape wine and baijiu in the Chinese market have seen an increase in demand. There has been a growth of about 4% and 5% recorded in total volume terms. In comparison to the previous years, the growth in 2016 has been quite slower due to shift in drinking habits and enhancement in health consciousness. For business dinner ordering, and formal social occasions; people of China prefer premium products because of high grade quality and better taste. Normally Chinese people prefer drinking less and often with their families and friends, they even swap wine or baijiu for soft drinks.
From last three years, China has noticed a dynamic growth in market of alcoholic drinks, despite a decline in total volume terms in 2016 as registered by RTDs. Due to the saturation in terms of advertisement and lack of product innovation, consumer’s enthusiasm has been majorly hampered. Additionally, because of stiff competition among retailers and distributors, there has been a reduction in prices which further led to sharp fall in sales resulting in over stockings and decline in revenue with RTDs.
Anyhow, there are many consumers who are now purchasing alcoholic drinks online through their mobile devices which had led to massive growth in internet retailing in China. Also, manufacturers and retailers are giving more attention to e-commerce, to increase their sales. It also helps the retailers to estimate their cost selling directly to consumers. As a result, growth opportunities are well promised in the future years.
A stable demand for the alcoholic drinks for private consumption is predicted to occur in the future that will also support the performance of revived industry with the passage of time. The market is anticipated to register higher profits as the years pass majorly via the new online system of purchases. Undoubtedly, demand is not going to multiply at a fast pace but the overall market is foreseen to augment and emerge in the coming future through the support of technological innovations.

Innovative Infrastructures in US Encourage a Sustainable Environment: Ken Research

The infrastructure sector in the United States of America includes the current infrastructure, the regulatory and financing landscapes and the major projects in the construction pipeline. These include all infrastructures such as roads, railways, electricity and power, water and sewerage, communication, and airports and ports. The US budget blueprint released in March 2017 clearly demonstrates a new foundation for American Infrastructure Insights. The budget includes a combination of new federal funding and incentivized non-federal funding. The public funds will focus on incentivizing additional non-federal investments rather than offering direct funds for infrastructure projects.
The focus is majorly on political and financial institutions involved in the infrastructure market, along with the competitive and regulatory environment. The new investments and an analysis of the project pipeline for each infrastructure sector explain the prospects for major projects and the companies that have secured the contracts. In the year 2017, the US government has released the list of projects to the National Governor's Association known as the Emergency and National Security Projects. All the infrastructure projects under proposal were identified by the government for further approvals. In the USA, IIC is currently monitoring 1,817 large-scale infrastructure construction projects starting from all stages of development, announcement and finally execution.
According to the research report “Infrastructure Insight: the US”, the analysis of the infrastructure insight includes the regional trends, regulatory changes, projects and investments along with competitive intelligence related to the growth strategies of leading companies. The infrastructures are a built-to-last in reality; however the infrastructure insights in US needs keep evolving as technology, demographics, and cultural values shift. Now-a-days the constant changes were observed in the infrastructure expectations, infrastructure investments in new projects or to retrofit old ones and also a driver of corporate relocations. Technology tops the list in the infrastructure sector because broadband capacity and performance is an important factor in influencing company relocations, the overall quality of existing infrastructure, millennials’ preferences such as density, diversity, walk ability, and transit accessibility as basic requirements at work place or residential.
The infrastructure sector demands for assets with the availability of capital. More than $100 billion revenue is available to target all classes of North American infrastructure assets. All the infrastructure funds, pension plans, energy funds, insurance companies, construction companies, and sovereign wealth funds are ready to invest in Greenfield and Brownfield assets across capital intensive sectors. The majority of the infrastructure projects are related to energy and power assets along with sub-sectors such as transport, social assets, environment, etc. The sub-sectors experience a lower activity level as the assets are government-owned. It was observed that there is a continuous gap in the US between infrastructure needs and investment opportunities available to the private sector. This is due to the combination of financial and political factors.
Infrastructure is often viewed as a critical selling point for real estate in the yesteryears but now it is overpowered by the millennial social value. With the new generation of 83-million strong urban-centric workers, major cities focus on offering more diversity, amenities, and transit options. Majority of the business needs in US are also driving the change in infrastructure insights. Smart and weird infrastructures enable cities to monitor and control energy use, transportation patterns, and utilities for maximum efficiency. Innovative infrastructures encourage a sustainable environment and it is becoming the way of the future as the population view it as key to a city’s livability. The infrastructure transformations are with a price tag and fortunately anticipate for more potential capital in-flow. Majority of the private investors view infrastructure as an alternative asset class and more public-private partnerships are forged to finance US infrastructure projects.
Recent studies on the infrastructure insights in US convey that the market has started relatively very slow and will surely recover over the year. The overall tax, legal, and political environment has a positive impact on the investments in US infrastructure assets. Infrastructure is indirectly a key for real estate development which involves the land cost and construction cost. Infrastructure financing remains a challenge in the US and when high-quality projects are offered, investors are ready to grab the opportunity. J.P. Morgan, Allianz Global Investors, Blackrock, and KKR are among the leading competitors in the infrastructure insights. These competitors invest hundreds of millions of dollars into capital projects in both the operating and construction phases.
