UK Supermarket Own Brands Share of the Market Likely to Remain Over 50% Up Until at Least 2017
M2 - Fri Mar 07, 4:29AM CST
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/ff8xtp/supermarket_own) has announced the addition of the "Supermarket Own Labels Market Report 2013" report to their offering. Supermarkets have been quick to respond to the increased demand for own-brand products, with many investing significant amounts of money into developing tiered private-label lines, such as good', better' and best' ranges. Even premium supermarket chains, such as Waitrose and Marks & Spencer (M&S), have cashed in on the trend towards discount ranges, with both retailers launching their own value grocery ranges essential Waitrose and Simply M&S, respectively in recent years. At the other end of the market, discount chains such as Aldi and Lidl have begun to develop their own premium private-label ranges, in order to appeal to a wider consumer base. While the author forecasts that sales of supermarket own-brand product ranges will continue to increase year-on-year between 2013 and 2017, it is likely that growth will slow somewhat over the next 5 years, as the economy begins to strengthen once again and consumer confidence returns. This, along with recent scandals, such as the horsemeat fiasco which has hit a number of grocery retailers hard in recent months could lead to consumers once again returning to the brands that they favoured pre-recession. Nevertheless, opportunities will still remain for many supermarket retailers to grow and develop their own-brand lines over the coming years, particularly across non-food categories. As a result, Key Note expects supermarket own brands to continue to dominate the grocery market over the next 5 years, with the share of the market represented by own brands likely to remain over 50% up until at least 2017. Companies Mentioned: - Aldi Stores Ltd - ASDA Group Ltd - Greencore Group PLC - Iceland Foods Group Ltd - J Sainsbury PLC - Lidl - McBride PLC - Tesco PLC - The Co-operative Group Ltd - The Future - Waitrose Ltd - WM Morrison Supermarkets PLC For more information visit http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/ff...market_own About Research and Markets Research and Markets is the world's leading source for international market research reports and market data.

Global Homewares Market 2014-2018: Countries Such as Brazil, Russia, India and China Offer Outstanding Opportunities for Vendors
M2 - Thu Feb 27, 6:54AM CST
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/wbb5jj/global_homewares) has announced the addition of the "Global Homewares Market 2014-2018" report to their offering. The analysts forecast the Global Homewares market to grow at a CAGR of 4.67 percent over the period 2013-2018. One of the key factors contributing to this market growth is the increase in household disposable income. The Global Homewares market has also been witnessing increasing demand from emerging economies. However, the low brand loyalty could pose a challenge to the growth of this market. Key vendors dominating this space are Bed Bath & Beyond Inc., IKEA International Groups, Lowe's Companies Inc., and Metro AG. Other vendors mentioned in the report are Ahold U.S.A. Inc., Aldi Inc., Arc Distribution South Africa Pty. Ltd., Carrefour SA, Continental China Pty. Ltd., Clicks Group Ltd., DCM Holdings Co. Ltd., Industria de Diseno Textil SA, Intime Retail Group Co. Ltd., J.C. Penny Company Inc., J Sainsbury plc, Kingfisher Plc, Leroy Merlin SA, Lifestyle International Pvt.

Ltd., Prestige Housewares Ltd., Publix Super Markets Inc., Sears Holdings Corp., SuperValu Inc., Target Corp., Tesco plc, The Kroger Co., RONA Inc., Shop Direct Group, Shoppers Stop Ltd., TJX Companies Inc., Wm Morrison Supermarkets plc, and Wal-Mart Stores Inc. Commenting on the report, an analyst from the team said: The Homewares market in emerging countries such as in the APAC region and the MEA is expected to grow at a rapid pace during the forecast period. Countries such as Brazil, Russia, India, and China offer outstanding opportunities for vendors providing homewares. These countries have witnessed remarkable economic growth in recent years. Therefore, large sections of the population in these countries have progressed from the poverty level into the middle class and people in this segment have enough money to spend on homeware products to decorate their homes. Thus, the increasing demand for homeware products from emerging economies is a major trend that is expected to lead the growth of the Global Homewares market during the forecast period.

E-Commerce - The Internet Grocery Market Market Update 2014 Report
M2 - Fri Feb 14, 4:09AM CST
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/23mdf9/ecommerce_the) has announced the addition of the "E-Commerce - The Internet Grocery Market Market Update 2014" report to their offering. This Market Update examines the Internet grocery market within the UK, in particular focusing on developments within the supermarkets online sector and the niche or specialist suppliers sector of the market. E-commerce is a relatively new consumer marketplace within which existing in-store retailers, as well as emerging online-only retailers, are building on opportunities to expand and reach a wider consumer base via multi-channel strategies. In this sense, the marketplace is currently in a state of development and the market's value is rising at a double-digit growth rate each year, with an estimated 18% increase having occurred between 2012 and 2013. The supermarkets online sector largely consists of the dominant grocery retailers within the UK, notably the big four': Tesco, ASDA, Sainsbury's and Waitrose; as well as online-only brand Ocado. Dominating the marketplace through innovations in mobile technology such as customer-interfacing smartphone applications (apps), as well as expanding click-and-collect services and distribution coverage, the market leaders are able to provide convenient services to a wide customer base. Although accounting for the minority share of the market's value, niche and specialist suppliers have been increasing their presence in recent years as several small businesses are emerging within the marketplace and building on opportunities to fill gaps in the market in terms of organic produce, dietary requirements, healthy diet plans and specialist niche food produce. One of the key trends driving the success of the e-commerce grocery market is the roll out of household broadband services throughout the UK demographic, with a higher proportion of consumers each year having access and regular usage of Internet technology. Tablet devices and smartphones have widened opportunities for competitors to create online apps so that grocery retail sites can be accessed and e-commerce orders can be placed while people are on the move. Other trends discussed in relation to the scope of the report include changes in consumer tendencies, issues impacting on the sourcing of food produce and the costs of food products in the UK market, as well as new product development (NPD) and innovation. Despite the revenue potential and continuing market growth of the industry, several leading grocery competitors are yet to enter the e-commerce market. Further companies are expected to take advantage of the opportunities e-commerce offers within the following years, leading the authors to estimate that the market will almost double in value over the coming 5-year period between 2014 and 2018. Key Topics Covered: Report Coverage Market Sectors Market Trends Economic Trends Market Position The Total Market By Market Sector Strengths Weaknesses Opportunities Threats Corporate Partnerships New Website Launches And Increased Competition In The Marketplace Corporate Activity New Technological Innovation And Online Developments Legislative Changes Environmental And Social Issues Forecasts To Market Growth Future Trends Definitions Further Information Companies Mentioned - Asda Group Ltd - J Sainsbury Plc - Ocado Ltd - Tesco Plc - Waitrose Ltd For more information visit http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/23...mmerce_the About Research and Markets Research and Markets is the world's leading source for international market research reports and market data.

UK Supermarket Own Brands Share of the Market Likely to Remain Over 50% Up Until at Least 2017
M2 - Fri Mar 07, 4:29AM CST
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/ff8xtp/supermarket_own) has announced the addition of the "Supermarket Own Labels Market Report 2013" report to their offering. Supermarkets have been quick to respond to the increased demand for own-brand products, with many investing significant amounts of money into developing tiered private-label lines, such as good', better' and best' ranges. Even premium supermarket chains, such as Waitrose and Marks & Spencer (M&S), have cashed in on the trend towards discount ranges, with both retailers launching their own value grocery ranges essential Waitrose and Simply M&S, respectively in recent years. At the other end of the market, discount chains such as Aldi and Lidl have begun to develop their own premium private-label ranges, in order to appeal to a wider consumer base. While the author forecasts that sales of supermarket own-brand product ranges will continue to increase year-on-year between 2013 and 2017, it is likely that growth will slow somewhat over the next 5 years, as the economy begins to strengthen once again and consumer confidence returns. This, along with recent scandals, such as the horsemeat fiasco which has hit a number of grocery retailers hard in recent months could lead to consumers once again returning to the brands that they favoured pre-recession. Nevertheless, opportunities will still remain for many supermarket retailers to grow and develop their own-brand lines over the coming years, particularly across non-food categories. As a result, Key Note expects supermarket own brands to continue to dominate the grocery market over the next 5 years, with the share of the market represented by own brands likely to remain over 50% up until at least 2017. Companies Mentioned: - Aldi Stores Ltd - ASDA Group Ltd - Greencore Group PLC - Iceland Foods Group Ltd - J Sainsbury PLC - Lidl - McBride PLC - Tesco PLC - The Co-operative Group Ltd - The Future - Waitrose Ltd - WM Morrison Supermarkets PLC For more information visit http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/ff...market_own About Research and Markets Research and Markets is the world's leading source for international market research reports and market data.

M2 - Thu Feb 27, 6:54AM CST
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/wbb5jj/global_homewares) has announced the addition of the "Global Homewares Market 2014-2018" report to their offering. The analysts forecast the Global Homewares market to grow at a CAGR of 4.67 percent over the period 2013-2018. One of the key factors contributing to this market growth is the increase in household disposable income. The Global Homewares market has also been witnessing increasing demand from emerging economies. However, the low brand loyalty could pose a challenge to the growth of this market. Key vendors dominating this space are Bed Bath & Beyond Inc., IKEA International Groups, Lowe's Companies Inc., and Metro AG. Other vendors mentioned in the report are Ahold U.S.A. Inc., Aldi Inc., Arc Distribution South Africa Pty. Ltd., Carrefour SA, Continental China Pty. Ltd., Clicks Group Ltd., DCM Holdings Co. Ltd., Industria de Diseno Textil SA, Intime Retail Group Co. Ltd., J.C. Penny Company Inc., J Sainsbury plc, Kingfisher Plc, Leroy Merlin SA, Lifestyle International Pvt. Ltd., Future Group, Fred Meyer Inc., Marks and Spencer Group plc, Mr. Price Group, Nitori Holdings Co. Ltd., Prestige Housewares Ltd., Publix Super Markets Inc., Sears Holdings Corp., SuperValu Inc., Target Corp., Tesco plc, The Kroger Co., RONA Inc., Shop Direct Group, Shoppers Stop Ltd., TJX Companies Inc., Wm Morrison Supermarkets plc, and Wal-Mart Stores Inc. Commenting on the report, an analyst from the team said: The Homewares market in emerging countries such as in the APAC region and the MEA is expected to grow at a rapid pace during the forecast period. Countries such as Brazil, Russia, India, and China offer outstanding opportunities for vendors providing homewares. These countries have witnessed remarkable economic growth in recent years. Therefore, large sections of the population in these countries have progressed from the poverty level into the middle class and people in this segment have enough money to spend on homeware products to decorate their homes. Thus, the increasing demand for homeware products from emerging economies is a major trend that is expected to lead the growth of the Global Homewares market during the forecast period.

E-Commerce - The Internet Grocery Market Market Update 2014 Report
M2 - Fri Feb 14, 4:09AM CST
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/23mdf9/ecommerce_the) has announced the addition of the "E-Commerce - The Internet Grocery Market Market Update 2014" report to their offering. This Market Update examines the Internet grocery market within the UK, in particular focusing on developments within the supermarkets online sector and the niche or specialist suppliers sector of the market. E-commerce is a relatively new consumer marketplace within which existing in-store retailers, as well as emerging online-only retailers, are building on opportunities to expand and reach a wider consumer base via multi-channel strategies. In this sense, the marketplace is currently in a state of development and the market's value is rising at a double-digit growth rate each year, with an estimated 18% increase having occurred between 2012 and 2013. The supermarkets online sector largely consists of the dominant grocery retailers within the UK, notably the big four': Tesco, ASDA, Sainsbury's and Waitrose; as well as online-only brand Ocado. Dominating the marketplace through innovations in mobile technology such as customer-interfacing smartphone applications (apps), as well as expanding click-and-collect services and distribution coverage, the market leaders are able to provide convenient services to a wide customer base. Although accounting for the minority share of the market's value, niche and specialist suppliers have been increasing their presence in recent years as several small businesses are emerging within the marketplace and building on opportunities to fill gaps in the market in terms of organic produce, dietary requirements, healthy diet plans and specialist niche food produce. One of the key trends driving the success of the e-commerce grocery market is the roll out of household broadband services throughout the UK demographic, with a higher proportion of consumers each year having access and regular usage of Internet technology. Tablet devices and smartphones have widened opportunities for competitors to create online apps so that grocery retail sites can be accessed and e-commerce orders can be placed while people are on the move. Other trends discussed in relation to the scope of the report include changes in consumer tendencies, issues impacting on the sourcing of food produce and the costs of food products in the UK market, as well as new product development (NPD) and innovation. Despite the revenue potential and continuing market growth of the industry, several leading grocery competitors are yet to enter the e-commerce market. Further companies are expected to take advantage of the opportunities e-commerce offers within the following years, leading the authors to estimate that the market will almost double in value over the coming 5-year period between 2014 and 2018. Key Topics Covered: Report Coverage Market Sectors Market Trends Economic Trends Market Position The Total Market By Market Sector Strengths Weaknesses Opportunities Threats Corporate Partnerships New Website Launches And Increased Competition In The Marketplace Corporate Activity New Technological Innovation And Online Developments Legislative Changes Environmental And Social Issues Forecasts To Market Growth Future Trends Definitions Further Information Companies Mentioned - Asda Group Ltd - J Sainsbury Plc - Ocado Ltd - Tesco Plc - Waitrose Ltd For more information visit http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/23...mmerce_the About Research and Markets Research and Markets is the world's leading source for international market research reports and market data.
