FIVE FORCES ANALYSIS The apparel retail market will be analyzed taking retailers as players. The key buyers will be taken as individual consumers, and clothing manufacturers and wholesalers as the key suppliers.

Summary Figure 6: Forces driving competition in the apparel retail industry in Thailand, 2014

SOURCE: MARKETLINE M A R K E T L I N E

Strong growth in recent years (with the notable exception of 2014) helps to lessen the level of rivalry in the Thai apparel retail industry.

Clothing is an essential item, with consumer choice being influenced by factors such as fashion and a desire to signal social success. Demand patterns are susceptible to branding and advertising, which, despite the lack of significant switching costs, tends to weaken buyer power. There is a fast pace of change in the demands of individual buyers. This means that, in an attempt to maintain market share in a highly competitive market, players aim to attract customers by creating strong brand consciousness and running intensive marketing campaigns. Low barriers to entry and relatively low requirements for capital mean there is a high likelihood of new entrants in this market. Substitutes to apparel retail include bespoke tailoring, factory shops, homemade clothing, and second hand clothing, although these pose a minimal threat to market players. Sales are boosted by the popularity of fast-fashion and disposable clothing. Predominantly, this has been a visible factor of growth within the womenswear sector. However, as the fashion industry becomes more focused on styles for men, fast-fashion trends for menswear are becoming just as prevalent as those for women.

Buyer power Figure 7: Drivers of buyer power in the apparel retail industry in Thailand, 2014

SOURCE: MARKETLINE M A R K E T L I N E

Buyer power in the apparel retail industry is weakened by the small size of buyers: virtually all buyers are individual consumers. What’s more, retailers tend to have large numbers of individual customers, which further weakens buyer power as the loss of one is unlikely to have a significant impact on revenues.

Despite the fact that brand consciousness in this market is substantial, the loyalty of consumers to specific brands is not always the overriding factor in their decision making. Buyer power is enhanced by a high level of choice, which is generated by the absence of switching costs. Brand loyalty within the top end of the apparel retail industry is connected more with the particular designer than the retailer, although some labels also have their own retail operations. There is a large market for non-designer apparel retail, especially among customers with lower disposable incomes.

Retailers can differentiate themselves fairly strongly through the styles of clothing offered and the price range of this clothing, meaning buyer power is weakened. Apparel is an essential item for consumers, and they are significantly exposed to the penetration of marketing icons and images into most forms of media. However, retailers must remain aware of the developments that shape public perception and subsequent demand.

Despite consumers lacking financial muscle, the position of retailers at the end of the value chain makes it impossible to integrate forwards. This means that they are obliged to offer buyers what they demand, in a market often subject to unpredictable and rapid changes in fashion. These factors strengthen buyer power. Overall, buyer power is assessed as moderate.

Thailand - Apparel Retail 0121 - 2005 - 2014

© MARKETLINE THIS PROFILE IS A LICENSED PRODUCT AND IS NOT TO BE PHOTOCOPIED Page | 15

Supplier power Figure 8: Drivers of supplier power in the apparel retail industry in Thailand, 2014

SOURCE: MARKETLINE M A R K E T L I N E

The key suppliers in this industry are clothing manufacturers and wholesalers. These are typically small to medium sized enterprises, giving retailers the possibility to source from both. The wholesale and clothing manufacturing sectors are fairly fragmented. Although retailers’ switching costs are not very high, switching includes the risk of choosing a supplier with a more extended supply chain or who may not be able to cope with sudden changes in demand on the market. The lack of diversity between suppliers weakens their power, as the apparel retail industry is highly important to their business. Apparel manufacturing is almost always labor intensive, due to the difficulty of automating processes such as the sewing of garments. The existence of a minimum wage in many countries slightly increases the power of suppliers of labor. The Bangladesh Rana Plaza disaster in 2013, in which more than 1,100 people died and many were left injured; has put increasing ethical pressure on retailers to source responsibly. So far $21.5m has been paid into the Rana Plaza Donors Trust Fund through contributions from buyers, the Bangladesh Prime Ministers Fund and other private donors. A number of brands have refused to provide adequate payment into the fund. Walmart, Mango and The Children's Place have been criticized for making donations which fall short of expectations. Benetton initially was reluctant to pay into the fund; however in April 2015 the company made a $1.1m contribution. Overall, supplier power in this industry is assessed as moderate.

New entrants Figure 9: Factors influencing the likelihood of new entrants in the apparel retail industry in Thailand, 2014

SOURCE: MARKETLINE M A R K E T L I N E

The Thai apparel retail industry has experienced strong growth in recent years, potentially making it attractive to new entrants.

Barriers to entry are not high, with capital requirements being low enough for individuals to enter. However, a small number of large corporations, such as Inditex and Fast Retailing, account for a significant share of total market revenues. They benefit from scale economies that allow them to build brands in multiple retail outlets, and greater buying power when negotiating with suppliers. The latter allows them to compete more intensely on price.

There is little regulation as such for retailers in the market, but there are some self-imposed conventions related to child labor, working conditions and workers' wages. New entrants who are known to have items manufactured outside of such conventions may lose customers and suffer long-term reputational damage.

Low switching costs for buyers and a low level of product differentiation make it easier for new entrants to compete with existing players.

Overall, there is a strong threat of new entrants to this market.

Threat of substitutes Figure 10: Factors influencing the threat of substitutes in the apparel retail industry in Thailand, 2014

SOURCE: MARKETLINE M A R K E T L I N E

While there are no substitutes for apparel as such, there are alternatives to retail. One option is purchasing clothing directly from the manufacturer as opposed to the conventional distribution chain. This is facilitated by the growth of online sales. All major apparel retailers now have their own online stores as there is an increased consumer acceptance of the internet as an alternative shopping channel.

A growing number of ‘pureplay’ online fashion stores have emerged in the market, as they look to take advantage of lower running costs from not having to pay for the overheads incurred by running a high street store. The online sale avenue opens the door for manufacturers who may be tempted by the opportunity of selling directly to end users without the need for the retailer.

Home-made and custom-made (couture) clothing are also niche alternatives to the retail of ready-made clothes. Counterfeit clothing can be a significant threat to the revenues of manufacturers. Another option is purchasing second-hand clothing from charity shops and internet sites such as eBay.

The threat of substitutes to the apparel retail industry is assessed as weak overall.

Degree of rivalry Figure 11: Drivers of degree of rivalry in the apparel retail industry in Thailand, 2014

SOURCE: MARKETLINE M A R K E T L I N E

The Thai apparel retail industry is typically composed of large numbers of similar retailers, many of which are independents. However, there is still room for large numbers of smaller players in this industry.

Major increases in capacity may be fairly costly to smaller players if they require the outlay of opening additional outlets, although this may be lessened if it can be accomplished by taking on more staff on a flexible basis.

While some retailers selling apparel have diversified into the retail of other items, such as jewelry, many retain a strong emphasis on apparel specifically, which intensifies rivalry.

A fast pace of change in fashions in the apparel retail industry, combined with strong market performance over the past five years, helps to alleviate rivalry, which is assessed as moderate overall.

H & M Hennes & Mauritz AB (H&M) is a Sweden-based leading retailer of fashion apparel, cosmetics, accessories and shoes for women, men, teenagers and children. H&M's retail operations are conducted through leased store premises, internet and catalogue sales and through a network of franchise stores. At the end of FY2014, the group had 3,511 stores which included 110 franchise stores.

Internet and catalogue sales are offered in Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Finland, the Netherlands, Germany, Austria and the UK. Furthermore, H&M's home textile range, H&M Home, is offered for sale through internet and catalogues, and through stores in Stockholm, Helsinki, Copenhagen, London and Amsterdam among others.

H&M's in-house designers work with pattern designers and buyers to create a range of merchandise. The group's design and buying department creates the collections centrally and outsources the manufacturing. After the merchandise is ready, it is purchased and distributed to a region and then allocated to separate sales countries in that region depending upon the demand in each market. In order to support this operating style, H&M restructured its business process in 2007 and transferred the central design, buying, logistics and stock-keeping functions to a separate company, H & M Hennes & Mauritz GBC AB.

The group outsources product manufacturing to 800 independent suppliers through its local production offices in Asia and Europe. Tests, such as chemical and laundry tests, are carried out on a continuous basis at the production offices and at external laboratories. The merchandise is subsequently transported by sea, rail, road or air to various distribution centers. The goods are then distributed directly to the stores or to central regional replenishment centers.

Key Metrics The company recorded revenues of $22,072 million in the fiscal year ending November 2014, an increase of 17.8% compared to fiscal 2013. Its net income was $2,912 million in fiscal 2014, compared to a net income of $2,500 million in the preceding year.
