Executive summary

All socioeconomic segments go for premium DEA

As Chileans’ per capita income continued growing in 2008, families are spending more than ever on luxury products, and the DEA market is no exception. This has allowed an increasing number of retailers to sell premium DEA products. Whilst they are focused principally on rich families, medium and low-income families are also interested in spending more money on products with premium features, such as refrigerators with ice dispensers in the door, cookers with six burners and wet and dry vacuum cleaners. Some lower income Chileans cannot afford to buy these appliances in cash, but they had the increasing support of credit from department stores in 2008.

Life preserver for small players

New measures launched by the government to promote the construction industry could be an opportunity for global companies with low shares in the DEA market. As some companies, such General Electric de Chile decided to retire from the DEA industry in Chile in 2008, smaller players could seize upon the opportunity to develop exclusive relationships with construction companies in order to equip the new builds with their products. This also presents a great opportunity for built-in products, since the trend in new houses is going in that direction.

Products from Asia grows fast in DEA

Chile is one of the most open economies in the world, having economic agreements with principal Asian countries, such as Korea and China. This is having a significant effect on the DEA industry in Chile. Korean companies, such LG, have seen great growth in their sales in Chile. On the other hand, local players, such Somela and Sindelen are outsourcing their production to Asian countries, taking advantage of cheap labour, which has made it possible for them to compete with the influx of Korean brands. Private label products also gained outstanding results and they are starting to enter large kitchen appliances, where they traditionally were present in microwaves only. Now they are attempting to penetrate other categories, such as dishwashers, offering standard products priced 40% less than traditional brands.

Big retailers continue increasing in importance as distributors

The retailing industry in Chile is one of the most developed in Latin America, and local players have developed successful strategies for competing not only in Chile, but also in Peru, Brazil, Argentina and Colombia. With the strong penetration of credit cards issued by retailers helping finance DEA purchases, retailers are approaching 80% of total distribution share of sales in the DEA market, and nothing on the horizon suggests that their importance will diminish over the forecast period, even with Wal-Mart having announced in December of 2008 its entrance to the Chilean market by the buying of the majority of D&S stock. It is expected that the US chain will introduce many private label products at cheaper prices, which is expected to increase the importance of discounters and hypermarkets in DEA distribution.

Local players will continue to lead in DEA

Across all industries, the global economic crisis for many companies is a disaster and a big opportunity for others. It presents an opportunity for local player CTI Compañía Tecno Industrial and its subsidiaries and brands Somela, Fensa and Mademsa, which saw during the review period how its important shares were eaten by Asian companies and private label products. The local Chilean company reacted during the review period, offering more fashionable designs and reaching out more to consumers. However, if during the forecast period, the dollar remains high, the position of the company will strengthen, because the competitive advantage of foreign brands and CTI’s extensive export experience will be used to earn more money that will be invested in becoming a more competitive company. The company will do this by developing better designs and building better relations with distributors, which would give the firm a competitive advantage over the forecast period.
