Homeshopping is a tiny channel in terms of retail current value sales and will continue its long-term declining trend in 2021. Retail current value sales in this channel peaked in 2015 but have decreased by almost a quarter during the review period.
Women represent the major consumer base for homeshopping, so this channel mainly sells products that appeal to them. Tamima Group, which has its own satellite television station, is the clear leader in homeshopping, specialising in home appliances and kitchenware.
Many Egyptian consumers have a negative image of homeshopping and are wary of buying products through this channel. Recent scandals have involved Chinese health teas and slimming pills.
The retail current value sales of homeshopping will continue to decline during the forecast period with no new players expected to enter due to the diminishing potential of the channel. Older women who do not own a mobile phone and who live in smaller urban centres or rural areas are the main source of demand for homeshopping companies.
Local satellite channels offer cheaper advertisement spots than network and Cable TV, leading local brands to focus on long advertisements and repetition to attract shoppers. Unfortunately, this strategy is having the opposite effect, deterring consumers from watching TV due to frustration over the number of length of adverts.
E-commerce is the most dominant threat for homeshopping operators, as it continues to attract consumers away from their TVs to buying online. However, the channel could also open opportunities for homeshopping operators, with many of the leading players likely to pivot towards e-commerce to revive their flagging sales.
