Retailing in Italy

Euromonitor International's Retailing in Italy 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

Positive Growth Despite Economic Downturn

Despite the poor summer weather and the difficult economic conditions, the Italian retailing market delivered a satisfactory performance in 2008. Retailing continued to demonstrate modest but positive current value terms growth, at a rate slightly higher than inflation. Non-store retailing performed rather better than store-based retailing, driven by the dynamism of Internet retailing and by the good results posted by direct selling. In store-based retailing, large retail groups have gained ground through expansion in the number of outlets, the assortment of products they carry and also in their private label offerings.

Consumers reward low end retailers

Driven by a decline in consumer confidence levels, in the context of unfavourable economic conditions, the trend in 2008 was clearly towards those retailing outlets positioned at the lower end of the market. Consumers have increasingly been looking for cheaper products and cut-price promotions. Within the grocery channel, this trend clearly benefited discounters. In non-grocery retailing, this mainly benefited parapharmacies/drugstores, as well as mixed retailers, such as OVS Industry, and clothing and footwear specialist retailers like H&M and Zara.

Grocery Retailers Still Dominate

The Italian retailing market is characterised by a high degree of fragmentation, with independent retailers still dominating in 2008. Within the store-based retailing channel, grocery retailing is more consolidated compared to non-grocery retailing. In 2008, the grocery channel remained dominated by retailers like Coop, CONAD and Carrefour. Retail chains continued to gain share at the cost of independent stores over the review period, thanks mainly to their economies of scale, which enabled them to maintain lower prices and spend more on advertising. Non-store retailing continued to gain share in 2008, albeit at a slow pace, mainly thanks to strong growth in the Internet retail channel. However, non-store retailing accounts for less than 3% of total retailing in Italy.

Internet Sales Drives Non-store retailing

In 2008, non-store retailing outperformed store-based retailing. The continuing growth of non-store retailing was driven mainly by healthy growth in Internet sales, which is one of the fastest growing sectors within retailing. Internet retailing is the youngest of all the retailing sectors, and has substantial potential for growth. Most other sectors within both store-based and non-store retailing are mature and therefore highly saturated.

Economic Uncertainty to Slow Down Retailing Growth

The Italian economy will not escape the effects of the slowdown in the global economy. The current strength of the euro will make Italian exports less competitive, and rising fuel and labour costs will increase overheads for companies. The financial crisis will put further pressure on both the Italian production system and consumer confidence. Taking these trends into consideration, very moderate growth for retailing is forecast for the near future. Both grocery and non-grocery retailing are expected to see slight growth, with discounters and Internet retailing remaining the best performing channels.
