Asian Convenience Store Market Forecast to 2012

The Asian convenience store industry has grown in a fast manner during the past few years with consumers’ lifestyle heading towards modernity and large participation from market players. Despite economic slowdown and financial crisis, the region has showed a splendid performance and the number of convenience stores kept rising. Developed markets such as, the US and Japan have become saturated with high store density and same formats that also posed a question mark over the industry’s growth potential. Players have now started to look outside these markets. And as of now, Asia is the most lucrative convenience store market with increasing consumers’ appetite for convenient shopping and surging sales of low price non-traditional products that will provide a strong impetus to the development of industry.

According to our new research report “Asian Convenience Store Market Forecast to 2012”, the Asian convenience store industry is heading fast towards the development phase from the earlier nascent stage. South Korea, for example, is one of the fast growing markets for convenience store as country’s total retail sales reached to the mark of Won 251.5 Trillion (US$ 223.6 Billion) during 2009. Growing retail sales and large consumer base following western life style have boosted the development of convenience store sector and so the sales from this retail segment grew by around 13% to reach Won 6.2 Trillion (US$ 5.5 Billion) during 2009.

Other Asian countries have been also performing well with new and better stores coming up annually covering different localities. However, the penetration rate of convenience stores in Asia is quite low in comparison to the rest of the world. In countries like China, Indonesia, and Vietnam, the share of convenience stores in total grocery outlets is less than 1%. Thus, an almost untapped market coupled with vast consumer base provides a highly lucrative opportunity for existing as well as new market players to gain early advantages.
