PESTEL

PESTEL POLITICAL FACTORS:

Foreign investors must pay attention to new regulations in emerging Asia. Since the US exited the trade pact, many believed the TPP would be left for dead. However, recent discussions among the remaining 11 countries show signs of life, and the TPP-11 movement seems to be gaining momentum.

The future of some trade agreements also hangs in the balance. A proposed agreement between Vietnam and the EU was recently jeopardized following questions of human rights violations by the Southeast Asian country. The US may withdraw from a free trade agreement with South Korea on calls by the Trump administration to renegotiate the pact.

PESTEL ECONOMIC FACTORS:

Continuous economic development in the region. The economies of Asian countries will be steadily growing in coming 5 years. They growth rate is from 1% till 7% depending on the country.

Consumer-driven economy by rising middle class. The middle class in Southeast Asia is expected to double to 400 million in 2020. In China, the middle class is estimated to grow 25% to hit 1 billion in 2020, representing about 70% of the urban population in the country and becoming a major powerhouse for domestic consumption growth.

10

10

PESTEL SOCIAL FACTORS:

Constant population growth in the region. The current population of South-Eastern Asia is about 653 million with yearly growth rate 1.06% based on the latest United Nations estimates. 49.2 % of the population is urban.

Most of people in the region prefer to consume eco-friendly and sustainable products. This means that retailers need to find innovative ways to improve their products to turn sustainability to a unique selling proposition.

11

11

PESTEL TECHNOLOGICAL FACTORS:

M-commerce is getting more popular among online shoppers. Many retailers have launched mobile-enabled websites and mobile apps with location-based and other interactive functions. Some retailers have partnered with payment service providers to provide their customers with electronic payment services and mobile wallets.

Social media increasingly becomes a key marketing and selling tool. The social media boom has supported the growth of social commerce in Asia. Social commerce currently takes up a third of all online shopping transactions the Southeast Asian region.

12

12

PESTEL ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS:

TPP-11 continues to promote sustainable development. The level of enforcement of domestic environmental laws varies, and some of TPP’s lower-income members may require support to strengthen the scientific and regulatory agencies.

>>>Trade corporations, operating in the region, can provide such support sharing their knowledge and experience and get loyalty from the government.

13

13

PESTEL LEGAL FACTORS:

Low tariffs or lack of them in the region for local businesses. The ASEAN Free Trade Area (AFTA) allows to increase ASEAN’s competitive edge as a production base and attract more foreign direct investments (FDI). It is a good opportunity for multinational retailers to enter the market.

Policies specific to foreign investors. Property, labor, competition, and FDI laws and policies are different among countries. They control and may restrict businesses as well as retail industry in the region. In some cases, cooperation with local retailer will be more appropriate.

5 FORCES

15

15

5 Forces DEGREE OF RIVALRY is Strong:

High competition for the consumer. Consumers face negligible switching costs, meaning retailers fight increased pressure to secure consumer's custom and loyalty by attempting to cut prices.

Similarity of players. Rivalry is also increased by the close similarity of players, although they may attempt to differentiate through products and price.

16

16

5 Forces BUYER POWER is Moderate:

Independence of buyers. A number of retailers operate incentive schemes for frequent shoppers, which can help secure customer retention.

Limited level of product differentiation. There are a number of factors that affect a consumer’s choice. Price and convenience are two central concerns.

17

17

5 Forces SUPPLIER POWER is Moderate:

Importance of a steady supply, quality, and best price. Large retailers often maintain relationships with a wide range of suppliers, which ensures stability and helps to offset the dangers of local sourcing problems or price fluctuations.

There are almost no substitute inputs. Suppliers who are able to differentiate their product can get some power over retailers, if their product be popular with the end consumer.

18

18

5 Forces NEW ENTRANTS is Moderate:

Rapid growth of the retail market. In a number of countries in the region it has been a rapid growth of the retail market (in Asia-Pacific with 13.3% annually according to MarketLine data).

Low entry and exit costs for new entrants. Potential entrants may be encouraged by the relatively low entry and exit costs. Switching costs for end consumers are minimal in the retail industry, with consumers often heavily influenced by price.

19

19

5 Forces THREAT OF SUBSTITUTES is Weak:

No significant substitutes to food retail. The alternative to food retail is food service provided by fast food companies and sit-down restaurants.

Alternatives as agriculture for personal needs. A more direct substitute is found in subsistence agriculture, in which individuals or families farm food to provide for their own personal needs.
