PROSPECTS

Massive potential for new entrants

With only Daiso representing variety store brands in Saudi Arabia, there remains massive potential for new entrants into the channel. The demand for variety stores increased towards the end of the review period due to the economic slowdown that began in mid-2016.

Asian products dominate channel

The main selling point for variety stores is to sell inexpensive products that are priced lower than most other types of retail shops, thus providing bargains. It is for this reason that most merchandise being offered in variety stores are mainly from Asian countries such as China and India.

Prices in variety stores witness marginal increase

Primarily due to the economic slowdown and increasing cost of living, owners of variety stores were forced to marginally raise the prices on their items by SAR2-5. This was mainly to offset the increase in imports and customs fees, although this has been passed on to the consumer in the form of a retail price hike.

COMPETITIVE LANDSCAPE

Daiso remains leading variety brand

Daiso, operated in Saudi Arabia by Daiso Middle East LLC, continued to be the leading brand in variety stores, losing marginal value share and closing one outlet in 2017. Therefore, there remains great potential for new players to enter.

Neighbourhood convenience stores offer variety store items

Small neighbourhood convenience stores known in Saudi Arabia as Baqalas have noticeably began to stock many variety store items such as generic cleaning tools including brooms, mops and general cleaning brands. They also sell inexpensive toys and games for SAR2-10.

Internet retailing alternative to low number of variety stores

Primarily due to the ban on women driving, increasing traffic and crowded stores in Saudi Arabia, some consumers prefer to shop for variety store merchandise on regional internet retailing sites such as Souq.com or Wadi.
