Executive summary

2008 anything but a good year for retailing

In contrast to 2007, which witnessed stable growth, 2008 emerged as the worst year of the review period for retailing. Unfavourable GDP growth and a fall in the consumer confidence index resulted in the drastic slowdown of volume sales from December 2007 to autumn 2008. Strong inflation has artificially buoyed current value growth in 2008. Nonetheless, the noteworthy drop of the overall number of outlets in 2008 illustrated the challenges faced by the market and the weak profitability of many stores.

Belgians prioritise their needs

In such a gloomy context, Belgians have had to tighten their belts and sacrifice some non-essential purchases such as interior decoration items and furniture and furnishings. Often the first victim in a time of economic crisis, clothing and footwear in particular paid for the decline in purchasing power of Belgian households in 2008. In grocery retailers, Belgians remained loyal to neighbourhood formats such as supermarkets and convenience stores. Following the trend of 2006-2007, hard discounters showed signs of maturity in 2008, possibly due to the saturation of Aldi Group and the competition from the soft discounting concept of Etn Franz Colruyt NV.

Local grocery retailers emerge from fragmented competitive environment

Chained outlets still command a relatively modest presence in Belgium. The overall competitive environment remained fragmented in 2008, having long been in the hands of independent retailers or small local chains. The top five NBOs accounted for just 26% of overall store-based retailing value sales in 2008, with all other players holding value shares of 1% or less. Within the top five, local grocery retailers such as Delhaize Group SA and Etn Franz Colruyt NV saw a stronger performance than foreign operators such as Carrefour Belgium SA/NV, which faced growing difficulties in Belgium.

Internet retailing continues to take off

After being relatively slow to embrace the internet, Belgians made substantial use of this channel for shopping from 2006 onwards. Value sales in this channel saw rapid growth in 2006 and continued to record impressive double-digit current value growth in 2008. This sudden explosion stemmed from the settlement of new payment methods, improved security and an influx of well-identified (and thus reassuring) retailers. Many operators were looking to expand their options for purchasing via the internet. Some were focusing their efforts on this channel, notably in the areas of consumer electronics and leisure and personal goods, but also in DIY, gardening and hardware, vitamins and dietary supplements, cosmetics and toiletries or even clothing and footwear. This was at the expense of a number of categories, particularly homeshopping sales, which continued to slump in 2008.

Grey outlook over forecast period, until at least 2010

Most sources concur in the expectation that retailing will see a downturn both in the number of outlets and even constant value sales until a possible slight reprieve in the middle of the forecast period. With the inflationary cycle and the expected economic slowdown, many Belgians will have to make choices and prioritise some product types. As in the past, clothing and footwear specialist retailers is likely to be one of the most affected channels. Less affected channels are likely to be health and beauty specialist retailers and stores affected by the cocooning trend. This should include DIY, home improvement and garden centres as well as electronics and appliance specialist retailers. Theoretically adapted to larger families, hypermarkets could suffer due to the declining number of households with children while convenience stores and supermarkets should still appeal to singles and DINKs (duel-income, no kids).
