Introduction
Evolution of the retail sector has transformed the Kingdom’s landscape from small unorganized retail outlets and line shops to the development of large scale shopping malls with international brands, entertainment zones and world class hypermarkets. The primary reason for this trend is because retailers have realized the higher footfall from regional and super regional malls as a result of integrated spaces and shift in consumer shopping experience towards leisure and entertainment.
Retail Demand and Supply 
The total retail supply in Riyadh inclined from ~ million square meters during 2012 to ~ million square meters of gross leasing area during 2016, registering a CAGR of ~% during the same period. Conversely, total occupied retail space inclined to ~ million square meters of gross leasing area during 2016 from approximately ~ million square meters during 2012, achieving a CAGR of ~% during the same period. The labor ministry signed an agreement to allow women to work at lingerie shops, thus increasing employment and income level of Saudi women in the retail sector. Apart from the rising tourism in Riyadh, more domestic households opting to stay within the country during vacations have resulted in higher retail earnings. Saudi Arabian General Investment Authority (SAGIA) had announced during 2015 to allow 100% foreign ownership in retail businesses. This move is expected to increase demand for retail space by international brands in the coming years.
Retail Mall Categories 
The retail real estate market in Riyadh comprises of various small and large scale developmental projects. Retail mall categories comprise of regional, super regional and community centers. Super regional and regional malls accounted for nearly ~% of the overall retail supply in Riyadh during 2016. Conversely, community centers comprise of standalone retail outlets, supermarket and hypermarket and have accounted for ~% of overall retail supply in the city during 2016.
Average Rental Rates
The rental rate charged by mall developers varies across different mall categories in Riyadh. It is evident that rental rates for regional and super regional mall are much higher in comparison to community centers and stand alone stores because of better location, potential to get international brands and reputed anchor stores to the mall and robust infrastructure facilities. Within these regional and super regional malls however, rental rates differ based on area, location within the mall and brand power. The annual average rental rate increased to a high of SAR ~ per Sq M during 2015 from SAR ~ per Sq M during 2012. However, downward pressure on rental rates caused this figure to decline to SAR ~ per Sq M during 2016.
Future Retail Demand and Supply 
The total retail supply in Riyadh is estimated to incline to ~ thousand Sq M of GLA by 2021 from thousand Sq M during 2016, registering a CAGR of ~% during the same period. Conversely, retail demand is projected to augment from ~ thousand Sq M during 2016 to ~ thousand Sq M of occupied space by 2021, achieving a CAGR of ~% during the same period. Saudi Vision 2030 with respect to feminization in the retail sector has targeted women participation in the workforce to increase from the current 22% to 30%. Increased female participation in the retail sector will positively impact and will lead to increased number of female owned businesses coupled with higher spending power. Increasing retail supply along with a slow conversion rate is expected to cause retail oversupply to reach ~ thousand Sq M. of gross leasing area by 2021.

Government monitored Strict Food Standards Creating Challenges for Baked Goods Industry in Taiwan: Ken Research

The bakery market in Taiwan is one of the most developed sectors in the economy. The market is now experiencing a slow expansion rate. The focus of the market is now moving towards restructuring itself, improving the safety and quality of food items and expanding in size. There is an increasing health consciousness amongst the consumers. They are now demanding healthier products and are giving more importance to details like the ingredients compositions. Natural butter and natural sweeteners, whole wheat flour, whole grains, dried fruits, fresh fruits, tree nuts etc. are healthier ingredients that are now gaining popularity. These ingredients are highly priced and with more and more consumers preferring them, this helps in the growth of the market and improving the quality of the products available.The disposable income of the population has been rising and the consumers are now able to afford the highly priced healthy ingredients.

According to the market research report "Baked Goods in Taiwan", the packaged leavened bread is the fastest growing segment in the market as its consumer base has been on a rise but the unpackaged leavened bread still has a much greater demand in the country. European-style bread is now being preferred by the consumers as they have more grains, seeds and nuts and are believed to be healthier than the local bread. They are more expensive and are sold through artisanal and chained bakeries.
In 2014, there were many food scandals which had shaken the consumer confidence in packaged goods. This however, led to better and stricter food safety standards. The government has imposed a greater level of monitoring over the market to ensure consumer safety and satisfaction. The consumers and media are also promoting and encouraging better food standards, leading to more quality conscious market rather than price oriented.

One of the major hindrance in the market growth is the popularity of eating out which cuts the revenue of packaged bakery goods.The baked goods market is already a well-developed market with intense competition. Therefore, there is less scope of growth and expansion of the industry. Uni-president Enterprises Corp is the leader in the baked goods market in Taiwan. It has gained and maintained this position because of the close ties with convenience stores which have helped in building a strong distribution network. The restructuring of baked goods industry has also lead to rise in competition as many new companies have entered the market.

There many fragments in the baked goods industry in Taiwan. Artisanal players have the largest market share. The accessibility of these artisanal bakers throughout the country is one of the major reasons for their strong position in the market. They are strategically located near transport stations and hubs and can be found in large cities and other urban areas along with many shopping centres. The market share of the artisanal bakeries has increased marginally and has led to the decline of other producers. The local bakeries offer freshly baked goods which are liked by the consumers. A wide variety of baked goods are available that differs from producer to producer along with differences in quality.

Augmenting Disposable Income Harness Fruitful Returns for Beauty and Personal Care Market Indonesia: Ken Research

The economic conditions in Indonesia have been improving and have led to a rise in disposable income of the consumers because of the increase in employment rate. This rise in disposable incomes and increased consumer confidence in the economy has increased the demand for beauty and personal cares products. The consumers are now inclined towards buying better quality beauty and personal care products as they are increasingly exposed to international beauty trends through the internet and other sources.
According to the market research "Beauty and Personal Care in Indonesia", in 2016, the industry recorded a brawny growth. The awareness for wellbeing has been on a rise in Indonesian consumers and this has helped the beauty and personal care market to grow. Colour cosmetics and other similar beauty products have a high demand in the country because of daily use by the people. Dermocosmetic brands combine natural essence and medical knowledge to produce their products. They are now becoming popular choice in the market and have improved the demand of skin care segment. There were limited product innovations in 2016 in the baby and childcare segment, which recorded an unwavering growth.
Cosmetics are a primary focus of the National Development Plan for Industry of the Indonesian Government until 2019. The huge contribution towards the GDP of the country by the industry is the reason the segment has been prioritised by the government and is considered an economically important segment. The objective of the government behind this is to promote the export of beauty products with a special focus on neighbouring countries like Australia, Malaysia and Brunei Darussalam. The government also wants to reduce the cost of production of the domestic producers and is therefore encouraging the production of raw materials locally rather than importing.
Many new domestic companies are now entering the beauty and personal care market. This has resulted in increased competition. Companies like Paragon Technology and Innovation PT are growing rapidly in the market whereas the big companies like Unilever Indonesia Tbk PT have recorded a stagnant market share. The licenses of producing halal products are now being given to domestic companies like Martina BertoTbk PT, which is helping them to beat the competition with Wardah brand. There are many modernisms in the market and the companies are reinventing their existing product portfolio as well as introduced new products.
New innovations are a key strategy to survive in the market and build a strong consumer base.  Halal products are the new rage in the beauty and personal care market. These are products that are not produced using ingredients derived from animals, are not tested on animals and do not contain alcohol. The majority of the population in Indonesia is Muslim, which is now rapidly shifting to halal products. This trend is expected to continue and be a major driving force of the market in the future. The demand for herbal products is also experiencing a strong growth with the rising concerns for side effects of products that may contain harmful chemicals.
