Executive summary
Portuguese Companies Aiming for Internationalisation
Foreign markets are developing and growing more rapidly than the mature Portuguese market. Thus, Portuguese companies tend to export their products by either creating stores abroad or by selling their products to multinationals to be sold under different labels. An example of this is the attempt to reach the Chinese market, which has one of the greatest economic growth rates in the world but which lacks quality clothing.
Innovation and Quality Are Keys to Success
With the "too much choice" factor operating in the local market, Portuguese companies now compete in design and quality, whether it's within Portuguese boundaries or outside them. Major international groups such as Zara and H&M use this as a way of reaching consumers who are fashion conscious and wish to have clothing of better quality.
Increased Brand Loyalty
With the slight increase in consumer purchasing power companies now have an opportunity to reach consumers and make them loyal to their brands. The concepts of corporate social responsibility and brand awareness have been growing over the years. Today, companies see these concepts more as an investment than as a cost, as in prior years.
Participation in Sports is on the Rise
People have become more conscious of their health over the years. The Portuguese have one of the highest rates of obesity and, in response, many people are starting to participate in different sports. This is expected to have a positive impact on the sportswear industry. Companies like SportZone are already recording increased sales and it is forecast that they will continue to grow in the future.
"Too Much Choice" in the Portuguese Market
As companies in the Portuguese market have gone out of business, international groups have arrived and taken their place. A market already saturated with too much supply and lack of demand has now reached a state of "too much choice" where, for example, there are nearly one hundred brands of shirts targeted to the same consumer. The high number of players present in the market has led to low market shares. Moreover, small companies are at a disadvantage as they lack the capability for innovation and the ability to market their products in the same way as the big players.
