Homeshopping has been on a constant downward trend over the review period and this continued into 2021, with a further decline in value sales. Homeshopping is losing ground to online sales, with the profile of homeshopping consumers mainly older consumers, that may have mobility issues, and no access to the internet.
There was no significant change to the competitive landscape, with only two players having a double-digit value share, that is Bertelsmann Medien and Robert Klingel. Players are trying to remain relevant by integrating with online channels and as a consequence, orders via phone or post are falling each year, with retailers pushing online orders instead.
Over the forecast period, homeshopping will continue the long-term trajectory of steadily declining value sales. In fact, it is expected to be the worst performing retail channel over the forecast period.
For homeshopping players in Switzerland, the shift towards omnichannel will be vital to stay relevant. It will become increasingly challenging for players to remain focused solely on traditional homeshopping, with a steady erosion of sales expected going forward.
In the future, the major retail players are likely to either incentivise online shopping or deploy disincentives to deter homeshopping such as requiring consumers to listen to lengthy recorded telephone messages, before putting the consumer in touch with an operator.
