PROSPECTS

Growth of convenience store outlets slowing down

Argentinian consumers are more demanding and cautious and increasingly use between four and five points of sale in search of the format that offers the best price. There is no longer any loyalty to one format, especially in food categories, as most brands can be found in all channels.

Carrefour launches strong price campaign through private label

Carrefour chain froze the price of 1,300 private label products for six months – from July 2017 to January 2018 – in all its store formats: hypermarkets, supermarkets and express in the 22 provinces where the chain is present. These 1,300 products represent 80% of the items that are part of the basic food basket, making this the best contribution that the company could offer to its customers in order to help in the family economy.

Fewer promotions seen in this channel than in hypermarkets and supermarkets

This channel, absolutely led by Carrefour Express, is characterised by having higher prices than big surface stores and, in turn, fewer promotions. In Carrefour hypermarkets and supermarkets, there are constant promotions on weekends for buying more than one unit of the same product, whilst in this channel the absence of promotions is something outstanding.

COMPETITIVE LANDSCAPE

Carrefour is absolute leader of this channel

With almost 400 outlets, and having been to some extent the chain that invented the format as a way to compete with the development of Asiatic supermarkets almost a decade ago, Carrefour dominates value sales of convenience stores, after encouraging the channel’s growth throughout the review period. The clear existence of a leader has made it more complicated for other companies to enter the category; although in recent years other big retailers such as Jumbo and Walmart have started to open some branches, copying the format with much smaller stores in strategic zones, their outlets are still very few compared with Carrefour and represent more of an attempt from the companies to dip their feet into the category and try competing with the leader.

Jumbo takes its first steps in convenience stores

With an investment of ARS600 million, in 2016 Jumbo opened eight branches comprising between 250 and 400 sq m, compared with the 700 sq m seen in supermarkets. The chain’s objective is to bring the same proposal of quality and assortment to more customers within the smaller space in proximity locations.

Discounters luring consumers away from convenience stores

With a similar formula, taking into account the amount of products available, the size of the branches and the payment options, discounters are attracting consumers that previously went to convenience stores looking to stock up in nearby stores but which have much better prices.
