MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS REPORT

 

INDIAN RETAIL

The Indian retail segment accounts for more than one fifth of the country's Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and contributes about 8% to the total employment. The Indian retail market is amongst the largest and fastest growing in the world. With a population of over1.2 billion and household size of 4 to 5 on an average, it is not difficult to see the potential attractiveness that this market offers. Indian retail business has grown by 16% Compounded Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) over the past two years and expected to accelerate to18.8 % over the next few years, according to The India Retail Report 2013. India has emerged as the fifth most favourable destination for retailers, according to A T Kearney's Global Retail Development Index (GRDI) 2012. India ranks 6th in the Retail Talent Index, thanks to many years of a large, young, well-educated and attractive labour market, according to the report.

 

India's income pyramid has changed dramatically during the past two decades and will evolve even more significantly. As a result, consumption driven by "Choice" instead of "need" will grow significantly.

 

 

MODERN RETAIL – TODAY

 

Modern retail has been in existence for some time now. In India, modern retail constitutes 7.8 % of the total retail market. According to The India Retail Report findings, modern retail in India is growing at a rapid rate of 26.8% CAGR and is expected to grow even faster by 2015. By 2015 the share of modern retail in India is expected to rise to more than 10 % of total retail in India. With the young demographics that India is blessed with, it can be assumed that modern retail will be trendy, fashionable, in demand and buzzing with hives of promotion and opportunities. With an increasing number of men and women working and being independent, disposable income is increasing. The easy availability of financial instruments is also playing its part in growing the modern retail space and consumption.

 

Modern retail is expected to mushroom in smaller towns in the next 3 years and also make a foray in to the rural heartland of India to service the 70% of the Indian population which is still in the rural markets. Qualitative factors within each city/town, such as modernisation index, westernisation index, youth population, etc., will play an important role in ascertaining the demand for categories and brands, which in turn will determine the direction and extent to which penetration in rural towns would happen.

 

With modern trade gaining ground in India, the opportunity for strong and continuous growth is immense. A simple comparison with other developed and emerging economies in Asia indicates room for a manifold increase in modern trade density. With a modest six modern trade stores per million customers, even matching the pace of countries like Thailand and Indonesia points to an inflection point that is yet to occur. Contrasted with the density of traditional trade outlets, the lower density of modern trade is certainly poised to change.

 

 

MODERN RETAIL – CHALLENGES AHEAD

 

The Indian economic sector, including retail, has weathered an uneven ride. Changes in policies and markets have caused investors in this market to draw caution and adopt wait-and-watch policies. Rising inflation, even when disposable income has risen, has left a dampening mark on retail sales and consumption. Brands have decided to ensure an effective presence strategy while speculation markets have dropped. Big malls that were assured of complete occupancy just a few years back are having to resort to price-leading strategies to woo in tenants and consumers.

 

Retailers in India are struggling to strike a balance between choosing available retail space in desired location and rentals. The next challenge is that of human capital. With attrition still very high in the industry, human capital management continues to remain one of the top three agenda points for the retailer. The cost of training and retraining staff to replace people who leave, is high specifically for larger retailers who want to maintain a particular standard in their operations. Skill development, hence, is a critical factor to achieve scale and is an area which needs investment.
