Executive summary

Stagnant sales in retailing

Retailing in Japan recorded a slight current value decline in 2008. Although the selling space per outlet increased, because of closures of small-scale stores and openings of large-scale stores, the number of outlets continued to decline in 2008. Increasing prices of daily necessities reduced consumers’ disposable incomes, and high fuel prices affected consumers’ psychology and especially hit hard on roadside stores because of the declining number of customers’ visits. Although petrol prices started to decline in the second half of 2008, the prices of food and household products continued to increase, because manufacturers and retailers had not raised the prices until 2007 by absorbing the increases in raw material prices, and because prices of raw materials, such as wheat, continued to rise.

Expansion of electronic money card network

Electronic money made a full-scale debut in retailing in 2007, and established a strong network among retailers in 2008. This is because two major retailers, AEON Group and Seven & I Holdings, launched their own electronic money systems in 2007. After the launches of WAON, from AEON Group, and Nanaco, from Seven & I Holdings Co Ltd, major convenience stores started to accept other existing electronic money cards, such as Edy. In 2008, WAON and Nanaco became available at almost all outlets of AEON Group and Seven & I Holdings, and retailers other than convenience stores also followed this move.

Active mergers and acquisitions

A number of mergers and acquisitions have taken place in recent years, involving drugstores and pharmacies, in particular. This is because of revisions in the law, which allow generic medicines to be sold at retail outlets without pharmacists in attendance, in certain circumstances. The revisions in the law prompted affiliations between major retailers and drugstores/pharmacies. Seven & I Holdings affiliated with Ain Pharmacies, and AEON Group strengthened its ties with CFS Corp. Other drugstores and pharmacies are responding by establishing larger drugstore/pharmacies group, or becoming subsidiaries or franchisees of large-scale drugstores/pharmacies. Allied Hearts Holdings and Kirindo Co Ltd started talks for its mergers and a number of companies chose to be a subsidiary or franchisees of the largest drugstore operator, Matsumotokiyoshi Holdings Co Ltd.

Expanding non-store retailing, shrinking store-based retailing

Non-store retailing is gaining popularity in Japan, mainly driven by the expansion of Internet retailing and homeshopping. On the other hand, store-based retailing registered a decline in current value sales in 2008, with grocery retailers performing poorly. Non-grocery retailers’ current value sales continued to grow in 2008, with health and beauty specialist retailers seeing the fastest growth. Health and beauty specialist retailers saw gains in current value sales in 2008 as a result of a rising elderly population and increasingly image-conscious consumers.

Continuous upward trend expected for non-store-based retailing

Retailing in Japan is expected to post only marginal constant value growth over the forecast period. Non-store retailing will drive, growth due to the expansion of Internet retailing and homeshopping. On the other hand, store-based retailing will continue to register a decline. Department stores and supermarkets witnessed a further drop in sales in 2008, and this trend is expected to continue. On the other hand, convenience stores will continue to post constant value growth. In the context of Japan’s stagnant retail sales and declining population, Internet retailing will continue to offer good opportunities for retailers to expand their sales and customer base.
