INDUSTRY PROFILE



INDUSTRY PROFILE

The Global Retail Industry

The global Retail scenario: The US$ 9 trillion Retail industry is one of the world’s
largest industries and still growing. 47 of the Global Fortune 500 companies & 25 of
Asia’s Top 200 companies are retailers.

Even as the developing countries are making rapid strides in this industry, organized
Retail is currently dominated by the developed countries with the USA, EU & Japan
constituting 80% of world.

Retail is a significant contributor to the overall economic activity the world over: the
total Retail share in the World GDP is 27% while in the USA it accounts for 22% of the
GDP. The share of organized Retail in the developing markets ranges between 20% to
55%.

Traditionally, local players tend to dominate in their home markets. Wal-Mart, the
world’s leading retailer, has about 8% of the US$ 2,350 billion market in the USA.
Similarly, Tesco has a market share of about 13% in the US$ 406 billion UK market.

The main value propositions that most large retailers use a are a combination of low
price, ‘all-under-one-roof’ convenience and ‘neighborhood’ availability.India has
emerged as the most attractive retail market three years in a row. The Indian Retail
industry is a US$ 270 billion industry and is growing at over 13% per annum. Only
about 4.6%(US$12.42 billion) of the industry is organised. If this share increases to 10%
by 2011, the size of organised retailing could touch US$ 55 billion – a CAGR of over
35%.At the centre of India’s booming economy are the top six cities of Mumbai, Delhi,
Chennai, Kolkata, Bangalore and Hyderabad representing 6% of the population yet
contributing 14% of the GDP. Also notable is the fact that 85% of India’s urban Retail
market is concentrated in the country’s eight large cities



Retail in India is on a cup of transformation. Organized retailing as a professional
service-oriented set-up, is a recent phenomenon in India but is growing at a tremendous
pace with a potential of creating over 2 million new (direct) jobs within the next six
years, assuming an 8 to 10 per cent share of organized retailing in the total retail
business.

The fast changing retail environment demands that professionals learn new skills,
improve their efficiency, learn to compete and think out of the box. As retailers work
directly with customers and there is need for good managerial talent to interpret and
satisfy the needs and desires of customers. All this requires an education that is
intensive, comprehensive and closely linked to the retail business world. The need is to
have a program which has all the inherent features of a business management program
and includes experiential learning throughout the program.

Market Trends, Challenges & Opportunities

1. Across BRIC countries, the food and grocery (F&G) segment is clearly driving
retail growth. For eg, retail food sales dominate the total retail market in Brazil,
accounting for almost 54 percent of the total retail sales, while Russia is the
fastest growing retail food sales market in the world, with the potential to again
double in size by 2009.
2. The prevalence of English as a language of communication to a very great extent
facilitates material sourcing and business communication. While India and
Russia pose no problems in this regard, Brazil and China present communication
problems for foreign companies.
3. The importance of governments that are quick on decision-making and passing
sliberal trade laws cannot be emphasized enough. In China, for instance, being a
non-democratic country makes it easier for foreign investors to do business sans
bureaucratic red-tapism (in comparison to a democratic country like India), the
obvious reason being that the political establishment is not directly accountable
to the people.



4. Growing urbanization and metropolitan saturation is leading to the expansion of
retail formats and investment opportunities towards tier-II cities and rural hubs
across all four countries.
5. Continued economic reforms together with the growth of organised retail
(especially in the F&G segment) has led to growing rural incomes, triggering off
far-reaching, social impacts. The upcoming ‘Golden Quadrilateral' plan for
roadways in India, which is to connect the four cities of Delhi, Kolkata, Mumbai
and Chennai, will have massive economic and social repercussions on rural and
semi-rural clusters along the vast network. In China too, the government plans to
create a rural retail network covering 70 percent of all villages by 2009.

Retail in India

India's imminent urbanization process has implications for demand for housing, urban
infrastructure, location of retail, and demand for consumer durables.

The on-stream infrastructure development will drive growth in the transportation sector,
spur demand for vehicles, increase real estate values along the “Golden Quadrilateral”
corridor, and potentially boost construction of suburban homes as people escape
congested cities. Plus, it will open up thousands of villages en route to a global audience
and effectively integrate them with the growing Indian economy.

• Growth of the Retail market, to a great extent, is the dependent on the size of the
country's consuming class and the rate of growth of GDP, especially disposable incomes.

• India is the world's second most populous country and its GDP growth is likely to
surpass that of China by 2015.

• It is estimated that India's GDP will surpass that of the US before 2050, to make it the
world's second largest economy.



• Reflecting on the robust growth in India's GDP, consumer expenditure (in current
prices) grew at a relatively high pace of nearly 10 percent per annum over the past two
years.

• India's advantage lies in the fact that it has the largest young population in the world –
over 890 million Indians are below 45 years of age. The median age for India is 25 years
as compared to 28 years for Brazil, 33 years for China and 38 years for Russia.

• There are more English speaking people in India than on the European continent.

• The retailing industry in India, is expected to estimate to US$ 440 Billion by 2010.

• Of the total retail market, food and grocery retail is by far the single largest block
estimated to be worth a whopping Rs.642, 200 crore, but more than 99 percent of this
market is dominated by the neighborhood mom & pop stores.

• Clothing, textiles and fashion accessories constitute the second largest block.

• In terms of formats, the energy in terms of new investments is expected to be driven
towards the supermarkets and hypermarket segments.

• All new players – Reliance Industries, Bharti Retail/ Wal-Mart, AV Birla Group,
Vishal mega mart – have shown interest towards developing these two formats, along
with wholesale, cash & carry outlets, while India's largest retailer – Pantaloon Retail
India Ltd. – has a continuous store rollout schedule for its Big Bazaar hypermarkets and
Food Bazaar supermarkets.



INDIA: A Hot Spot

India retail industry is the largest industry in India, with an employment of
around 8% and contributing to over 10% of the country's GDP. Retail industry in India is
expected to rise 25% yearly being driven by strong income growth, changing lifestyles,
and favorable demographic patterns.

It is expected that by 2016 modern retail industry in India will be worth US$
175- 200 billion. India retail industry is one of the fastest growing industries with
revenue expected in 2007 to amount US$ 320 billion and is increasing at a rate of 5%
yearly. A further increase of 7-8% is expected in the industry of retail in India by growth
in consumerism in urban areas, rising incomes, and a steep rise in rural consumption. It
has further been predicted that the retailing industry in India will amount to US$ 21.5
billion by 2010 from the current size of US$ 7.5 billion.

Shopping in India have witnessed a revolution with the change in the consumer
buying behavior and the whole format of shopping also altering. Industry of retail in
India which have become modern can be seen from the fact that there are multi- stored
malls, huge shopping centers, and sprawling complexes which offer food, shopping, and
entertainment all under the same roof.

India retail industry is expanding itself most aggressively, as a result a great demand
for real estate is being created. Indian retailers preferred means of expansion is to
expand to other regions and to increase the number of their outlets in a city. It is
expected that by 2010, India may have 600 new shopping centers.

In the Indian retailing industry, food is the most dominating sector and is growing at a
rate of 9% annually. The branded food industry is trying to enter the India retail industry
and convert Indian consumers to branded food. Since at present 60% of the Indian
grocery basket consists of non- branded items.



As the contemporary retail sector in India is reflected in sprawling shopping centers,
multiplex- malls and huge complexes offer shopping, entertainment and food all under
one roof, the concept of shopping has altered in terms of format and consumer buying
behavior, ushering in a revolution in shopping in India. This has also contributed to
large-scale investments in the real estate sector with major national and global players
investing in developing the infrastructure and construction of the retailing business. The
trends that are driving the growth of the retail sector in India are
• Low share of organized retailing
• Falling real estate prices
• Increase in disposable income and customer aspiration

Another credible factor in the prospects of the retail sector in India is the increase in the
young working population. In India, hefty pay packets, nuclear families in urban areas,
along with increasing working-women population and emerging opportunities in the
services sector. These key factors have been the growth drivers of the organized retail
sector in India which now boast of retailing almost all the preferences of life - Apparel &
Accessories, Appliances, Electronics, Cosmetics and Toiletries, Home & Office
Products, Travel and Leisure and many more. With this the retail sector in India is
witnessing rejuvenation as traditional markets make way for new formats such as
departmental stores, hypermarkets, supermarkets and specialty stores.

Retail is clearly the sector that is poised to show the highest growth in the next five
years. The sector is set for a revolution, as both the present players and new entrants are
gearing up to explore the market. This sector contributes 10% of India's GDP and the
current growth rate is 8.5%. The present size of the organized retailing sector is
approximately 3% and is expected to grow to 25-30% by the year 2010. There are about
300 new malls, 1500 supermarkets and 325 departmental stores currently under
construction. Many players are coming up with huge investments, due to which the
present 12 million mom-and-pop shops and kirana stores fear losing their business. Most
predictions say that the sector might reach to US$ 400-600 billion by the year 2010.



Growth drivers in India for retail sector

• Rising incomes and improvements in infrastructure are enlarging consumer
markets and accelerating the convergence of consumer tastes.
• Liberalization of the Indian economy
• Increase in spending Percapita Income.
• Advent of dual income families also helps in the growth of retail sector.
• Shift in consumer demand to foreign brands like McDonalds, Sony, Panasonic,
etc.
• Consumer preference for shopping in new environs
• The Internet revolution is making the Indian consumer more accessible to the
growing influences of domestic and foreign retail chains. Reach of satellite T.V.
channels is helping in creating awareness about global products for local markets.
• About 47% of India's population is under the age of 20; and this will increase to
55% by 2015. This young population, which is technology-savvy, watch more
than 50 TV satellite channels, and display the highest propensity to spend, will
immensely contribute to the growth of the retail sector in the country.
• Availability of quality real estate and mall management practices
• Foreign companies' attraction to India is the billion-plus population.

Types of Retailing:

There are several types we can see in Retailing. They are like,

Specialty Store:

Narrow product line with deep assortment, viz apparel stores, book stores etc. A
clothing store would be a single line store, men's clothing store would be limited line
store & men's custom-shirt store would be a super specialty store.
Example: The limited, The Body Shop.



Departmental Store:

Several product lines-typically clothing, household goods, home furnishings- with
each line operated as a separate department managed by specialist buyers or
merchandisers.
Example: Sears, Bloomingdale's.

Supermarkets:

Relatively large, low-cost, low-margin, high volume, self-service operation
designed to serve total needs for food, laundry & household maintenance products.
Example: Kroger, Safeway.

Convenience Stores:

Relatively small store located near residential area, open long hours, seven days a
week and carrying a limited line of high-turnover convenience products at slightly higher
prices.
Example: 7-Eleven, Circle K.

Discount Store:

Standard merchandise sold at lower prices with lower margins and higher volumes.
True discount stores regularly sell merchandise at lower prices and offer mostly national
brands.
Example: Wal-Mart, Kmart.

Off-price retailer:

Merchandise bought at less than regular wholesale prices & sold at less than retail;
often-leftover goods, overruns and irregulars obtained at reduced prices from
manufacturers or other retailers.



Factory outlets are owned and operated by manufacturers and normally carry the
manufacturer's surplus, discontinued or irregular goods.
Example: Mikasa(dinnerware), Dexter (shoes)

Independent off-price retailers are owned & run by entrepreneurs or by divisions of
larger retail corporations.
Example: T.J.Maxx, Filene's Basement.

Superstore:

Averages 35,000 square feet of selling space traditionally aimed at meeting
consumers' total needs for routinely purchased food and non food items. Usually offer
services such as laundry, dry cleaning, shoe repair, check cashing & bill paying.

A new group called "category killers" carries a deep assortment in a particular category
& a knowledgeable staff.
Example: Borders books & Music, IKEA.

Combination stores are a diversification of the supermarket store into the growing drug-
and-prescription field. Combination food & drug stores average 55,000 square feet of
selling space.
Example: Jewel & Osco stores.

Hyper markets:

Hypermarkets range between 80,000 and 220,000 square feet and combine supermarket,
discount & warehouse retailing principles. Product assortment goes beyond routinely
purchased goods & includes furniture, large & small appliances, clothing items and
many other items. Bulk display & minimum handling by store personnel with discounts
offered to customers who are willing to carry heavy appliances and furniture out of the
store. Hypermarkets originated in France.
Example: Carrefour and Casino (France), Pyrca, Continente and Alcampo (Spain).



FDI in India’s Retail Sector

Retailing is the interface between the producer and the individual consumer buying for
personal consumption. This excludes direct interface between the manufacturer and
institutional buyers such as the government and other bulk customers. A retailer is one
who stocks the producer’s goods and is involved in the act of selling it to the individual
consumer, at a margin of profit. As such, retailing is the last link that connects the
individual consumer with the manufacturing and distribution chain. The retail industry in
India is of late often being hailed as one of the sunrise sectors in the economy. AT
Kearney, the well-known international management consultancy, recently identified
India as the ‘second most attractive retail destination’ globally from among thirty
emergent markets. It has made India the cause of a good deal of excitement and the
cynosure of many foreign eyes. With a contribution of 14% to the national GDP and
employing 7% of the total workforce (only agriculture employs more) in the country, the
retail industry is definitely one of the pillars of the Indian economy1.

Foreign direct investment (FDI) has become a key battleground for emerging
markets and some developed countries. Government-level policies are needed to
enable FDI inflows and maximize their returns for both investors and recipient
countries.
Foreign direct investment (FDI) policies play a major role in the economic growth of
developing countries around the world. Attracting FDI inflows with conductive policies
has therefore become a key battleground in the emerging markets.
Developed countries also seek to bring in more FDI and use various policies and
incentives to attract overseas investors, particularly for capital-intensive industries and
advanced technology.



The primary aim of these policies is to create a friendly business environment where
foreign investors feel comfortable with the legal and financial framework of the country,

and have the potential to reap profits from economically viable businesses. The prospect
of new growth opportunities and outsized profits encourages large capital inflows across
a range of industry and opportunity types.
When policies are effective, significant FDI investments are injected into countries that
help the domestic economy to grow. Different countries and regions offer various kinds
of fiscal incentives, with a related variance in the level of FDI investments attracted.

The Indian Scenario:

Trade or retailing is the single largest component of the services sector in terms of
contribution to GDP. Its massive share of 14% is double the figure of the next largest
broad economic activity in the sector.
The retail industry is divided into organised and unorganised sectors. Organised retailing
refers to trading activities undertaken by licensed retailers, that is, those who are
registered for sales tax, income tax, etc.These include the corporate-backed
hypermarkets and retail chains, and also the privately owned large retail businesses.
Unorganised retailing, on the other hand, refers to the traditional formats of low-cost
retailing, for
example, the local kirana shops, owner manned general stores, paan/beedi shops,
convenience stores, hand cart and pavement vendors, etc.

Unorganized retailing is by far the prevalent form of trade in India – constituting 98% of
total trade, while organised trade accounts only for the remaining 2%. Estimates vary
widely about the true size of the retail business in India. AT Kearney estimated it to be
Rs. 4,00,000 crores . One thing all consultants are agreed upon is that the total size of the
corporate owned retail business was Rs. 15,000 crores in 1999 and poised to grow to
Rs.35,000 crores by 2005 and keep growing at a rate of 40% per annum.3 In a recent



presentation, FICCI has estimated the total retail business to be Rs. 11,00,000 crores or
44% of GDP4.
According to this report , sales now account for 44% of the total GDP and food sales
account for 63% of the total retail sales, increasing to Rs.100 billion from just Rs. 38.1
billion in 1996. Food retail trade is a very large segment of the total economic activity of
our country and due to its vast employment potential, it deserves very special focused
attention.
Efficiency enhancements and increase in the food retail sales activity would have a
cascading effect on employment and economic activity in the rural areas for the
marginalized workers. Thus even without FDI driving it, the corporate owned sector is
expanding at a furious rate. The question then that arises is that since there is obviously
no dearth of indigenous capital. what is the need for FDI? It is not that retailing in India
is in the need of any technology special to foreign chains

Employment in Retailing:

A simple glance at the employment numbers is enough to paint a good picture of the
relative sizes of these two forms of trade in India – organized trade employs roughly 5
lakh people, whereas the unorganized retail trade employs nearly 3.95 crores5!
According to a GoI study the number of workers in retail trade in 1998 was almost 175
lakhs. Given the recent numbers indicated by other studies, this is only indicative of the
magnitude of expansion the retail trade is experiencing, both due to economic expansion
as well as the ‘jobless growth’ that we have seen in the past decade. It must be noted that
even within the organised sector, the number of individually-owned retail outlets far
outnumber the corporatebacked institutions. Though these numbers translate to
approximately 8% of the workforce in the country there are far more retailers in India
than other countries in absolute numbers, because of the demographic profile and the
preponderance of youth, India’s workforce is proportionately much larger. That about
4% of India’s population is in the retail trade says a lot about how vital this business is to
the socio-economic equilibrium in India.



Organised retail is still in the stages of finding its feet in India even now. Though
organised trade makes up over 70-80% of total trade in developed economies, India’s
figure is low even in comparison with other Asian developing economies like China,
Thailand, South Korea and Philippines, all of whom have figures hovering around the
20-

25% mark. These figures quite accurately reveal the relative underdevelopment of the
retail industry in India.
Benefits of FDI in Retail Sector

Higher competition would lead to higher quality in products and services.

Better lifestyle as better products would be introduced.

Exports would increase due to greater sourcing of major players.

Investment in whole supply chain would increase.
Technology would be upgraded in terms of logistics, production, and distribution
channels.
Employment would increase and skills & manpower will develop.



BIG BAZAAR: An Overview
Big Bazaar
“Isse sasta aur accha kahin nahi”

BIG BAZAAR Started purely as a fashion format including apparel, cosmetics,
accessory and general merchandise. First Food Bazaar format was added as Shop-In-
Shop within Big Bazaar in the year 2002

than a hypermarket. Here, you will find over 170,000 products under one roof that cater
to every need of a family, making Big Bazaar India’s favorite shopping destination.

Big Bazaar stepped into North Karnataka in Hubli on July 2007 with floor space of
50,000 sq. ft. at Gokul Road, Hubli. A place well connected with Air, Road and Rail
transportation. Big Bazzar is the first retail outlet to the people of Hubli. This is the ninth
outlet in the state. This takes Big Bazaar to the next level. At Big Bazaar, you will get

prices, Big Bazaar is the place to be. Leveraging on the company’s inherent strength of
fashion, Big Bazaar has created a strong value-for-money proposition for its customers.

which principally revolve around food, groceries and general merchandise.

Boasting of an impressive array of private labels, Big Bazaar is continually striving to
provide customers with a ‘complete’ look. So be it men’s wear, women’s wear, kids
wear, sportswear or party wear, Big Bazaar fashions has it all!

Big Bazaar has clearly emerged as the favorite shopping destination for millions of its
consumers, across the country, it’s success is a true testament to the emotional bonding it
has established with the Indian consumer, on account of its value offerings, aspirational
appeal and service levels. We believe Big Bazaar is a true pan-Indian model that can
enter into most towns in India and democratize shopping everywhere.

26th JANUARY 2009... India’s Sabse Sasta Din

The acceptance and loyalty that Big Bazaar has garnered over the years, was well
evident on 26th january 2009. On the day India celebrates its Republic Day, the company
honoured the consumer by calling it the ‘Maha Savings Day’. Shoppers at all Big
Bazaar and Food Bazaar outlets across the country were offered products at prices never
heard before in the history of shopping.
The offers were spread across categories from electronics to utensils, from apparel to
furniture and food. This event received tremendous response from the regular and an
entirely new set of shoppers, which resulted in nearly 1 million people visiting the stores
on that day. And most stores were able to post record sales for a single day.

SUGGESTIONS

• Since the Tv Advertisement is most attractive media as per the respondents view,
company can concentrate on TV ads by making them more attractive and in a
medium that’s understandable by people of in and around Hubli city, to inform
about any new deals like ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION Offers & SAB SE
SASTA DIN.,

• Hoardings & Paintings are good source of advertisements so company has to
concentrate on this advertising aspect Hoardings & Paintings has to be
increased & placed in more crowded areas.

• Big Bazaar has to concentrate on more offers & may provided discounts, more
exchange offers.

• Now a days Radio & Internet are good source of medias company has to give
more advertisements on these medias, to reach maximum people.



CONCLUSION

Indian retail sector is witnessing one of the most hectic Marketing activities of all
times. The companies are fighting to win the hearts of customer who is God said by the
business tycoons. There is always a ‘first mover advantage’ in an upcoming sector. In
India, that advantage goes to “BIG BAZAAR”. It has brought about many changes in the
buying habits of people. It has created formats which provide all items under one roof at
low rates.
The consumers preferences are changing & they are moving from Traditional
Kirana stores to Modern Retail outlet. It’s the main challenge to the Modern retail outlets
to attract the customers towards them from that of competitors. To attract more
customers companies have to carryout the promotional activities in unique way. BIG
BAZAAR has maintained that uniqueness & has succeeded in attracting customers.

The advertisement of the company like TV ads, print media & pamphlets are good
advertisements which made its place in minds of customer to find BIGBAZAAR
differently. As the competition is becoming stiff in the market the activities conducted
by the company are unique, that have brought fruitful result to the company. Among



them Advertisement is one of the leading activity or unique among all other activities &
