Retailing in Canada

Euromonitor International's Retailing in Canada examines whether recent high growth rates can be sustained in an economic downturn. Growth has been boosted by richer consumers spending more and some companies’ decision to sell a wider range of non-food products. Rising sales have supported expansion into new markets, new store formats and moves into private label products. However, the economic downturn has set some of these strategies back, this analysis looks at whether grocery retailers will continue to enjoy similar rates of growth in the future.

Executive summary

Retail sales held in 2008

Economic stability in Canada, solid positive per capita income trends and strong employment throughout most of 2008 resulted in fairly solid consumer spending and retail sales. Nonetheless, concerns over the country’s economic performance later in the year and the slowing housing market did translate into a slower growth rate at the retail level compared to previous years. Weaker economic trends and the resulting decline in consumer spending were particularly felt in such areas as DIY, home improvement and garden centres, furniture and furnishings, and electronics and appliances as Canadians were cutting down on purchases of large-ticket items.

Slowing economy supports consumer shift to discount retail

At the same time, retail trends in 2008 reflected the fact that an increasing number of Canadians, especially those in the middle-to-low-income consumer groups, migrated to discount retailers in both grocery and non-grocery retailing. Thus, grocery discounters and hypermarkets, as well as discount clothing retailers and mass merchandisers, were all seeing good current value sales growth. Responding to the trend, many retailers were focusing on further development of their hard discount format, examples being more store openings under the No Frills discounters brand operated by Loblaw Cos Ltd, a further roll-out of Wal-Mart Supercenters and further expansion of The Hudson’s Bay Co’s Fields banner in mass merchandisers.

More foreign companies seek growth opportunities in Canada

Although Canadian retailing is quite limited in terms of expansion opportunities and highly developed, more foreign retailers, primarily US-based companies, saw Canada as an opportunity for further growth. A strong economy and strong consumer spending from 2000-2008, in addition to the relatively weak Canadian dollar, were particularly attractive to US retailers. For example, Lowe’s Companies Inc entered Canada as Lowe’s Co Canada, ULC and expanded its home improvement outlets in late 2007 and 2008. Similarly, Bath & Body Works entered Canada as a beauty specialist retailer in late 2008. Even the economic slowdown and rising Canadian dollar did not stop the expansion plans entirely. Although further growth in store networks and resulting competition is good news for Canadian consumers, it undermines the sales and market shares of the established retailers, both domestic and foreign-based, and impacts the overall value growth, due to ongoing promotions and price cutting to maintain the flow of customers.

Internet shopping cannibalises sales from other non-store retailing channels

The growing number of Canadian households with internet access and the development of on-line shopping sites by many retailers helped drive internet retailing in 2008. In fact, while sales through non-store channels, overall, were showing signs of decline in 2008, internet retailing saw positive growth. Furthermore, the losses experienced by the homeshopping channel, in particular, were in large part due to consumer migration to internet retailing and away from catalogues. On-line shopping alternatives were also being developed by direct sellers, which otherwise struggled to retain and grow their customer base.

Slow growth is forecast as economy is heading for more difficult times

Concerns over weak economic trends will lead to further cuts in consumer spending and will result in lower retail sales. These tendencies will especially affect retailers selling big-ticket items, like furniture, consumer electronics, appliances, home improvement materials and others. Overall, retail sales are projected to grow only modestly, driven primarily by store-based retailing. Non-store retailing will see sales decline as many Canadians will likely cut down on their use of credit cards and will not be willing to pay extra charges, such as delivery and service fees, for merchandise.
