CHARACTER AND REPUTATION

 

Nothing unfavorable learned.

 

Subject is a continuation of a very veteran business.

 

The local textile and fashion market is valued at NIS 7.5 billion per annum, NIS 6 billion of which is attributed to the fashion branch.

 

The local household products market is considered highly competitive after reaching market saturation. It includes household textile, tableware and kitchenware and utensils, bath accessories and ornaments &decorative items, ceramic and glass ware, etc. According to estimations, the local household products market volume reaches NIS 2.5 – 3 billons annually (of which circa NIS 1 billion for “home textile”), and includes retail, wholesale, institutional markets (Retail chains capture 30% of the market share, specialization stores 20%, while the institutional and workers unions sector has 50% share).

 

According to the Central Bureau of Statistics (CBS), current spending for private consumption in 2009 on equipment and items for domestic use decreased by 3.5% from 2008, after a 2% fall from 2007 (after several years of constant rise). That was part of the general trend in the market due to the slow down in local markets, mainly during the 1st half 2009. Local per capita expenditure on private consumption kept the rising trend from previous years, yet in a much slower pace – it rose by less than 2% in 2009 from 2008 (when it rose 6.5% from 2007).

In general, local market has been in a recovery trend since mid 2009, continuing into the 1st half of 2010 and indicators prove that: Expenditure per capita on private consumption rose 7% comparing to 2009 1st half.

 

From CBS data, import of Household Utensils in 2009 summed up to US$ 474.2 million, comparing to US$ 531.9 million in 2009, representing 10.8% decrease (after a 179% increase in 2008 from 2007). The trend reversed in 2010 1st half, with 22% increase in import (to US$ 271.3 million), comparing to 1stH 2009.
