INTRODUCTION

The term retail comes from the French word retailer which refers to ‘cutting off, clip and divide’ in terms of tailoring (1365).

It first was recorded as a noun with the meaning of a “sale in small quantities” in 1433 (French).

The term “Retailing” refers to any activity that involves a sale to an individual customer.

Page 6: EMERGING RETAIL TRENDS IN INDIA - Indian Journal

SHOP OR STORE TRADING It is where shops use counter service, where the

goods are out of reach of buyers and must be obtained from the seller.

This type of retail is common for small expensive items (such as jewellery) and controlled items like medicine and liquor.

VIRTUAL RETAIL

It is where products are ordered via mail, telephone or online without having been examined physically but instead in a catalog, on television or on a website.

Sometimes this type of retailing replicates existing retail types such as online shops or virtual marketplaces such as eBay.

• PAWN SHOP- Shops that sell second hand goods.

• GIVE-AWAY SHOP- A non-profit shop, the public donates goods to be sold. Goods can be taken for free.

RETAIL PRICING

• The most popular technique employed by the retailers is the cost plus pricing. This involves adding a markup amount to the retailer’s cost.

• Another one is charging the amount suggested by the manufacturer and usually printed by the manufacturer on the product. This is called Retail Pricing

• Most of the times, the prices are fixed and displayed on signs and labels otherwise there will be price discrimination.

• Retailers may also resort to “sales” when overstocked, or need to raise cash to renew stocks. 11

It is populated by an ever-going variety of institutions & constantly buffeted by a highly fluid environment.

The purpose of this study is to describe some of the more significant competitive developments that have made retailing so volatile & to illustrate how some of these developments have affected the marketing channels in which retailers participate.

INDIA VS. WORLD

Indian retail is fragmented with over 12 million outlets operating in the country. This is in comparison to 0.9 million outlets in USA, catering to more than 13 times of the total retail market size as compared to India

India has the highest number of outlets per capita in the world - widely spread retail network but with the lowest per capita retail space (@ 2 sq. ft. per person)

Annual turnover of Wal-Mart (Sales in 2001 were $219 billion) is higher than the size of Indian retail industry. Almost 100 times more than the turnover of HUL (India's largest FMCG company).

18

Page 19: EMERGING RETAIL TRENDS IN INDIA - Indian Journal

CONTD… One-day sales record at Wal-Mart (11/23/01) $1.25

billion - roughly two third of HUL's annual turnover.

60% of retailers in India feel that the multiple format approach will be successful here whereas in US 34 of the fastest-growing 50 retailers have just one format

Wal-Mart - over 4,800 stores (over 47 million square meters) where as none of India's large format store (Shoppers' Stop, Westside, Lifestyle) can compare.

The sales per hour of $22 million are incomparable to any retailer in the world. Number of employees in Wal-Mart are about 1.3 million where as the entire Indian retail industry employs about three million people.

FUTURE CONCERNS

68 million square feet of mall space is expected to be available by end of 2007, which might lead to over-capacity of malls

Lack of differentiation among the malls that are coming up. One option may be to look at specialization.

Poor inventory turns and stock availability measures - retailers clearly need to augment their operations.

Operations of retailers and suppliers are not integrated. Efficient replenishment practices practiced in the Indian auto and auto-component industry can be leveraged to implement efficient supply chain management techniques.

20

Page 21: EMERGING RETAIL TRENDS IN INDIA - Indian Journal

CONTD… Supplier maturity, in terms of adherence to

delivery schedules and delivering the quantity ordered, is an issue

Sales tax laws - lead to retailers having state-level procurement and storage leads to Indian retailers having higher inventories. VAT has helped alleviate this a bit.

Increased adoption of IT and shrinkage management will be a critical area.

Supply chain and customer relations followed by merchandising, facilities management and vendor development are areas which have significant gaps and proactive training is a key imperative for overcoming these.

CONCLUSION

The Retail Industry in India has come out as one of the most dynamic and fast paced industries with several players entering the market.

But all of them have not yet tasted success because of the heavy initial investments that are required to break even with other companies and compete with them.

The India Retail Industry is gradually inching its way towards becoming the next boom industry.

Favourable government policies and continued growth will mean that the future belongs to the most aggressive players.
