Urbanization to Gear up China Food and Grocery Retail Sector : Ken Research



The research title “Food and Grocery Retailing in China-Market Summary & Forecasts" is a detailed sector report providing a comprehensive analysis of the emerging trends, forecasts and opportunities to 2020. Both qualitative and quantitative insights and analysis of the shifting food and grocery retail dynamics for drinks, household products, packaged food, tobacco and unpackaged food from 2010 to 2020 have been covered.
As urbanization and rising disposable incomes along with a huge population of roughly 1.4 billion, maintains to expand China’s consumer market, the country’s retail grocery market is also evolving. While traditional markets are still present in China, consumers have diminished preference for them as these markets are increasingly facing competition from modern grocery retail formats, such as hypermarkets, supermarkets and convenience stores.
Supermarkets and hypermarkets are the market dominators of some larger cities, and their continued expansion to even smaller cities is expected to further drive competition in the grocery retail sector. Of the various retail channels, hypermarkets are expected to have the most growth potential in the Chinese market followed by the convenience stores due to rising disposable incomes and consumer’s preferences for convenience and modernized lifestyles. These factors are also expected to expand the opportunities for packaged food sales in the Chinese market. Products that address other consumer concerns, such as health and food safety, may be particularly promising. Internet retailing also continues to expand its presence in the market. In-fact, online spend on food and grocery is projected to grow at a CAGR of 34.03% during 2015-20.

Source: National Bureau of Statistics of China
The consistent growth in the GDP per capita is a major factor contributing to the growth of the hypermarkets and convenience stores in China. Convenience stores offer speed of service to time-starved consumers who want to get in and out of the store quickly. These shoppersrecognize this channel of trade for its convenient locations, extended hours of operation, one-stop shopping, variety of merchandise and fast transactions. Despite small operating areas, the product range is still quite broad.
China’s food and grocery retail market is dominated by local players of the country like CRE Ltd, Walmart, RT Mart etc.

Chinese grocery sales are set to grow by a third between now and 2020, according to forecasts from the Institute of Grocery Distribution.
The Chinese grocery market has proved challenging for western supermarket chains, with Tesco failing to make it alone on the mainland despite an ambitious program of building so-called “lifestyle malls”, anchored by Tesco stores. Walmart has struggled with food safety issues in China — a market where foreign brands trade on their reputation for quality, so any safety flaws are particularly bad for brand image.

Key Macroeconomic Trends Expected to Drive Growth of China Food Retail Sector
The food and grocery retailing market in China is forecast to grow at a CAGR of 11.17%, to reach an estimated value of CNY25982 billion in 2020. Modernization of Lifestyles, Urbanization and rapid and consistent increase in the disposable incomes are some of the major factors expected to drive growth of the Chinese Food and Grocery Retail sector. Apart from these, we also have few other factors that can be associated to this growth:
·The Ministry of Commerce of China is encouraging retailers to establish direct procurement bases across China to increase traceability and supply fresh produce to local residents.
· China’s regulatory responses to food safety concerns are many. For example, the “Further Supervision of Baby Milk Formula Quality” policy in June 2013 resulted in many local milk formula manufacturers exiting the market and later applied both antitrust legislation as well as price controls on the industry. The retail sale of unpackaged oils and fats as well as bulk dry fruits and nuts is also now banned in most locations.
· The Ministry of Commerce’s scheme to introduce modern retailing to rural areas since 2006 is designed to provide those residents with high-quality products at competitive prices in clean and tidy shopping environments, in an attempt to move grocery shopping away from wet markets and small, independent outlets.

Gamification in e-learning enables learners to rehearse real-life scenarios and challenges in a safe environment. In the field of online education, Gamification is used to promote the commitment of employees and students to the learning process
Corporate eLearning is growing on not only because the devices are everywhere, but because companies struggle with their Learning and Development budgets.

Environment Friendly Farming building Sustainable Agricultural Equipment Market Forecast: Ken Research



Green revolution in India was basically initiated through success of high yield variety seeds, pesticides, insecticides, etc. which not only degraded environment quality in India but also damaged the quality of food supplied. This led to rising hostility against such farming methods laden to huge demand for organically produced farm outputs supporting positive growth of Agricultural Implants Market. Organic farming basically refers to those farming practices where agricultural output is produced without any use of chemicals like fertilizers, pesticides, etc. This sort of farming not only produced cleaner crop yield but also played a significant role in making farming equipment greener. This rising practice of organic farming is impacting agricultural equipment industry significantly. Every day new sorts of environment friendly equipment are introduced to cater the demand. 

In order to fulfill escalating demand for environment friendly farm machinery various new products are launched every year to promote mechanization of agriculture without damaging environment. Demand for machinery that works with use of renewable energy is increasing. Solar power fence installation is becoming extremely popular which helps farmers to produce solar electricity by themselves. This system is also known as photovoltaic system. Solar powered tractor is also receiving superb appreciation amongst farmers of India. Such tractors use solar energy as its fuel and work efficiently without providing any damage to the environment. Further, farms are making greater use of solar pumps, threshers, harvesters, etc. in their farms. Further, since organic farming completely restricts from using chemicals and pesticides on land, demand for chemical and DDT free pesticides and insecticides is increasing in India. Water conservation is one of the utmost goal of eco-friendly farming and for this reason recycling of water is becoming a fad amongst farmers. Thus, for this purpose higher use of efficient irrigation equipment is practiced. Further, recycling runoff machineries are greater higher admiration. Better tillers are demanded in order to conserve soil and prevent any sort of soil erosion. Machinery with low pollutant emissions is becoming extremely popular amongst farmers.
Challenges to environment friendly farming
Though green farming is quite in vogue these days, there are many challenges in the industry that must eliminated to provide massive boost to sustainable agricultural equipment industry. Many a times these agricultural equipment are quite expensive and hence farmers shun from using such machinery and rather focus on cheaper substitutes. Further, restrictive promotion of such equipment by the government and lack of education amongst farmers is making sale of such machinery quite restrictive.
Thus, opportunities for environment friendly farm equipment is quite vast and is expected to rise massively in future. Government policies are working to promote both mechanization and sustainability in agriculture laden to sky high demand for environment friendly and modern agricultural equipment in India.

The lower cost of LMS per pupil to around USD 5-15 per pupil per month would prove to be vital for the content industry as a cheaper platform would raise demand for the content. Due to lack of renowned universities in home countries, students are engaging in self- paced digital education courses from reputed universities in Singapore, which in turn is likely to fuel demand for content services from various companies.
Mobile learning, or M-Learning for short, will be the dominant mode of eLearning content consumption. This trend will only accelerate as smart phones get more powerful, 4G (and 5G) connections get more accessible and widespread, and tablets turn into a hybrid tablet/PC fusion that’s good enough for people to use as their main computer.
