Internationalisation of Food Retailing 2005 / 2
Executive summary
> Our new survey includes 94 international
food retailers as of the end of 2004 that
together operated in 107 countries. These
retailers have stores in an average of 6
countries.
> Carrefour remained the most international operator at the end of 2004,
with stores in 31 countries. But it has since exited Japan and Mexico, and
Metro may overtake it this year in international spread. The German group
continues to deploy its cash & carry banner in emerging markets, with Pakistan
the latest target.
> Wal-Mart continues to be prudent in its international expansion. Despite
regular speculation, the world’s largest retailer has yet to extend its European
presence. However, it has led lobbying for retail liberalisation in India and, as
we went to print, reinforced its coverage in Central America by buying Ahold’s
stake in CARHCO.
> In Europe, leading chains are continuing to invest eastwards, particularly in
the face of low growth in major economies like France and Germany. However,
Central & Eastern Europe is not proving an easy investment, with hypermarket
saturation and the growing presence of Schwarz Group (Lidl and Kaufland)
raising price pressure there too.
> The three eastern giants – China, India and Russia – remain at the top of
the agenda for international retailers. Following a wave of market entries in
China, India has become the next big prospect; the government there is now
in favour of foreign direct investment in food retailing.
> Overall, retailers are still refining their international strategies. We have
thus seen a mixture of divestments and acquisitions over the past year as
groups like Ahold, Carrefour and Delhaize seek the right balance between
growth and return on investment.

Analysis of key trends
L
eading
food
retailers
have
made significant progress in their
international
operations
during
2004/05. Much of the focus over
the past two years has been on cleaning up
portfolios in order to target priority markets.
Recent results indicate that this approach
is starting to work: retailers are continuing
to generate high sales growth abroad,
but are now getting better returns as well.
Carrefour has epitomised this more selective
expansion, pulling out of Japan and Mexico
while adding stores and fill-in acquisitions
elsewhere, notably in Brazil, China, Italy and
Turkey.
There is still a long way to go of course.
According to our survey, international food
retailers only operate in an average of six
countries, and in most cases their foreign
operations still count for a relatively small
part of overall sales and profit. Building
a strong international business is not
straightforward, particularly in sluggish or
highly consolidated markets; even Wal-Mart
has struggled to gain a foothold in Germany
and Japan and has lost momentum in the
UK. However, the underlying logic of going
abroad to generate higher growth remains
sound, especially given the persistently
weak consumer climate in several major
economies.
Profitable growth
is the watchword
F
ollowing the rapid wave of expansion in
emerging markets in the 1990s, we are
continuing to see food retailers refine their
international strategies. Profitability, rather
than growth per se, has become the priority in
foreign investment. As a result, retailers have
been reviewing their portfolios, divesting
operations with low growth prospects and
investing further in better-placed ones.
This has produced a series of small and
medium-sized deals between retailers;
Rewe, for example, has sold its Penny stores
in France (to Carrefour) and Pick Pay stores
in Switzerland (to Denner), while increasing
its presence in Slovakia by buying Delhaize’s
supermarkets.
This more targeted expansion seems to
be having a positive effect on Carrefour,
the retailer which has most visibly
adopted a more rigorous approach
to internationalisation. For its first half,
Carrefour posted a 24% rise in underlying
operating profit outside France. Looking
ahead, the company hopes that improved
international returns will mean that “France
will become progressively less important as
a profit driver for the group”. Other retailers
are also increasing profitability abroad;
according to research by Accenture, the
Internationalisation of Food Retailing 2005 / 3
world’s top five food retailers, with the
exception of Ahold, raised their international
operating margin in 2004.* In other words,
leading retailers are now on a firmer
financial footing abroad. As in other areas,
supermarket and hypermarket operators
have also learned from discount chains,
which have proved adept at expanding
quickly at a relatively low cost.**
But although profitability has come to
the fore, top-line growth remains critical
for international retailers. The sales push
from foreign stores is particularly important
for companies faced with weak trading at
home. The leading German retailers have
all relied on international operations for
growth, with Metro notably increasing the
foreign contribution to group sales to over
50% in the first half of 2005.
Retailers are continuing to build
international sales both by entering
fragmented markets and by progressively
adapting to local conditions in more
developed ones. Asia and Eastern Europe
remain the most popular regions for new
investment by retailers, with Metro again
enjoying high growth from its cash & carry
model. However, in more crowded markets
international chains have had to adjust their
offer in order to sustain sales growth over
time. A frequent pattern in Central Europe
and parts of Asia has been the shift away
from hypermarkets – because of market
saturation, planning restrictions or investment
costs – towards smaller formats.
At the same time, leading international
players are increasingly pooling their
CIES - The Food Business Forum
PlanetRetail
international scale and expertise to improve
performance in individual countries. Global
sourcing, while still playing a relatively minor
role in food retail as a whole, has become
an advantage for big operators at a time
when price pressure has intensified in the
sector worldwide; Carrefour and Delhaize,
for example, have rolled out their respective
low-price ranges across Europe. International
chains are also looking to benefit from best
practices; Carrefour is rolling out textiles
from its well-performing Spanish division to
other European countries, while Wal-Mart is
continuing to draw on UK subsidiary Asda
for clothing merchandising in the US.
More momentum ahead
O
verall, international expansion in
food retailing seems to be gaining
momentum. Now that necessary restructuring
work has been completed, leading retailers
are in a position to concentrate on their
strongest foreign assets. In parallel to some of
the downsizing of the past two years, certain
emerging markets – led by China – have
continued to grow rapidly. Fellow eastern
giants India and Russia are also opening
up to retailers (see Regional Snapshots)
and could attract the kind of intensive retail
investment witnessed in China. As noted
at the outset, limited growth prospects in
western markets should encourage major
retailers to continue investing abroad.
The risk involved in internationalisation
remains considerable of course, particularly
if sluggish domestic operations are less
able to support early losses in new
markets. However, the leading names are
undoubtedly gaining scale and confidence
internationally. As Tesco chief executive Terry
Leahy puts it, retailing is still a local industry
but “the balance is slowly changing”. With
their growing experience of how to manage
foreign investments, the world’s largest food
retailers are well-placed to become truly
international over the next few years.

> Europe: price pressure spreads across
the continent
Weak consumer spending and expansion
by discounters have increased price
competition in much of Europe. This scenario is well-established in France, Germany
and the Netherlands, but now applies to a number of other countries. In the Nordic
countries, which have traditionally had among the highest prices in Europe, the retail
sector has been shaken up by the entry of Lidl. The German hard discounter has over
the past two years established a foothold in Finland, Norway and Sweden and is due
to open in Denmark shortly. Its expansion has intensified price competition in each of
these countries, contributing to significant moves such as NorgesGruppen’s alliance
with Carrefour and Axel Johnson’s sale of Spar Finland. Lidl is also planning to enter
Switzerland, another traditionally ‘high-price’ market, along with discount rival Aldi.
Like in the Nordic countries, the market leaders have adopted the now-familiar tactic
of cutting prices on grocery basics, including through private label.
Price pressure has similarly intensified in Central Europe, partly due to the ‘Lidl effect’
and also because of market saturation following the wave of foreign investment since
the 1990s. In an effort to reinforce its strong regional position, Tesco has been more
aggressive in its pricing, based on a commitment to be the cheapest on its 50 most
popular products. As in other regions, this competition has forced some retailers to pull
out or reorganise: Delhaize has sold its stores in Slovakia, Meinl is pulling out of the
Czech Republic and Poland, while Carrefour’s small Czech and Slovakian operations
are thought to be under review. Wal-Mart, meanwhile, continues to bide its time: the
US group has expressed its interest in Europe-wide expansion, but has yet to move
beyond Germany and the UK.
Internationalisation of Food Retailing 2005 / 4
> India: next stop after China and Russia?
India’s economy is now attracting some of the attention that has been focused on
China for the past few years. In the retail sector, international interest has risen sharply
this year as the government has expressed its support for allowing foreign direct
investment in food retailing. Wal-Mart has led lobbying of the Indian authorities,
indicating that it would open stores if the legislation is reformed. For the moment,
foreign retailers are restricted to franchise operations (e.g. Shoprite) and wholesaling
(e.g. Metro), with the exception of Dairy Farm, which formed its joint ventures under
an earlier regulatory regime.
Retail observers now consider India as one of the biggest retail opportunities in view
of its fragmented sector and the untapped demand from its large middle class. In
the latest edition of their global retail index, consultants AT Kearney rate India as
the most attractive emerging market for retailers, taking over the number one spot
from Russia.* But while India is the most wide-open market, China and Russia continue
to consolidate rapidly. As we discussed last year, China has been a must for the
world’s largest retailers, particularly in view of the relaxing of investment rules from
the end of 2004. However, this initial wave of market entries seems to have ended
and the battle is now underway to gain a solid market share; international giants like
Carrefour and Wal-Mart are competing in the major cities against domestic chains
like Lianhua and Wumart, which have used stock-market floatations to fund their fast
store expansion.
> USA: foreign players caught up in supermarket shakeout
Supermarkets in the US have been under pressure for several years now, and this tough
competition has not eased up in 2005. The basic dilemma for traditional grocery chains
remains that they are being squeezed on one side by discounters – led by Wal-Mart
– and on the other by specialist operators, such as Whole Foods. At the same time, fuel
inflation has hurt consumer spending despite a general recovery in the US economy
since 2003. After regional players like A&P and Winn-Dixie, Albertsons may become
the biggest victim of this squeeze after deciding to consider a sale.
In this difficult climate, foreign retailers have also suffered: Ahold has experienced
mixed sales at its US chains, while Delhaize has seen same-store sales slow sharply
in the first half. The two European groups are each reorganising in an effort to stay
competitive, with Ahold merging back-office operations and Delhaize investing in new
formats Bloom and Sweetbay. The gloomy outlook for supermarkets is likely to deter
investment by other foreign retailers, despite the opportunity to bid for Albertsons. At
the same time, the tough context will reinforce the domestic focus of most US grocers,
who are still much less international than their European counterparts.
Gustavo Trompiz
Retail in Russia is also changing rapidly, although for the moment domestic chains
like Pyaterochka and Perekriostok are leading consolidation. Like international
pioneer Ramenka (Migros Türk), Auchan and Metro are gradually developing a
presence in Moscow and other major cities, where economic growth is strong. A lack of
transparency in planning and tax procedures may have discouraged other retailers
from investing until now, but Russia is certain to attract more operators in the near
future.

Internationalisation of Food Retailing 2005 / 84
Methodology
> General
The research was carried out by Planet Retail in collaboration with CIES – The Food
Business Forum. The survey covers international food retailers. All sales and store figures
refer to the end of 2004. Major 2005 developments are included in the “Comments &
2005 updates” column.
> Definition of international food retailers
These are defined as retailers operating in more than one country that gain a significant
proportion of their revenues from food formats (i.e. 20% or above). The survey excludes
food retailers operating in only one country and retailers operating exclusively or
principally non-food formats. Four new international food retailers - IKI, Olimpica,
Paterson and Perekriostok - are listed in addition to the 94 companies counted at the end
of 2004.
Department stores and drugstores are considered to be non-food formats. Variety stores
are similar to department stores but defined here as having a full grocery range (e.g.
Marks & Spencer), except where indicated “non-food”. The foreign franchise operations
of Marks & Spencer have not been detailed since they are not listed separately by the
company. Couche-Tard and Ito-Yokado are listed under certain countries because of their
ownership of the Circle K and 7-Eleven banners respectively.
Worldwide banner groups like IGA and Spar are only listed where an international
retailer holds the licence for a particular country. Latin American retailers CSU, Exito and
La Fragua have not been listed separately since Planet Retail tracks them through their
alliances with Ahold (CSU and La Fragua) and Casino (Exito).
> Calculation of sales data
Group net sales do not fully reflect revenue from those stores that are franchises or that
relate to minority holdings. At the same time, net sales may include revenue from non-store
operations (e.g. online shopping, financial services, wholesaling) that are not listed here.
Certain 2004 net sales are estimates (“e”) where the company did not provide a relevant
figure. The percentages for food and foreign sales and the figures for retail banner sales
are also estimates.
CIES - The Food Business Forum
PlanetRetail
The percentages for food and foreign sales are based on retail banner sales, not net
sales. Planet Retail defines retail banner sales as combined sales for all banners, including
franchises and independents, and including sales tax. Net sales do not include sales tax
and integrate a proportion of revenue from minority holdings and franchises.
> Countries and territories
For geographical reasons, certain overseas territories have been listed separately (e.g.
Reunion (France)). However, these territories are not included in a retailer’s total number
of countries if the mainland country is already counted. The one exception is Hong Kong,
which is counted in addition to China in view of its economic importance.
> Store format definitions
Planet Retail defines the food formats listed in the survey as follows:
Cash & carry: membership-based wholesale format reserved for resellers and
commercial customers. In the food retail sector, it is an important channel for independent
shop operators.
Convenience store: small self-service food store with long opening hours. The focus is on
convenience items, such as ready meals and fast food, and essential food and non-food
items. Often located at petrol stations, where referred to as Forecourt store.
Discount store: price-focused food outlet selling a small number of items. Broadly,
the format exists in two forms: hard discount stores, which are almost exclusively ownbrand based, and soft discount stores, which feature wider ranges of both manufacturer
branded products and fresh food.
Hypermarket: self-service store with a sales area of more than 5,000 square metres
(54,000 square feet) offering both a comprehensive food range and a wide choice of
non-food items.
Kiosk: small store selling newspapers and magazines, as well as limited ranges of food,
sweets, tobacco and drinks. Outlet sizes tend to range from 10 to 50 square metres (108538 square feet).
Neighbourhood store: small food outlet covering less than 400 square metres (4,000
Internationalisation of Food Retailing 2005 / 85
square feet). Neighbourhood stores
are often similar to supermarkets but
can also operate in a non-self-service
version.
Supermarket: self-service store with a grocery product offer (i.e. wide food
assortment plus everyday household and health & beauty products) covering 400 to
2,500 square metres (4,000-27,000 square feet). Depending on store size, non-food
items are also available.
Superstore: self-service store with a sales area between 2,500 and 5,000 square
metres (27,000-54,000 square feet). Like hypermarkets, Superstores offer a
comprehensive food range but their non-food offer is generally more limited than in
a hypermarket.
Variety store: store concept similar to a department store but with a smaller number
of product categories. Some retailers, notably Marks & Spencer, include food as one
of the departments.
Warehouse club: large-sized outlet selling products both to business customers
(wholesale) and end consumers (retail) on a membership basis. Members are usually
required to pay an annual fee to be allowed to shop at the store.
References to foodservice and all non-food formats should be self-explanatory. “DIY
stores” is an abbreviation for “do-it-yourself stores”, also known as home improvement
stores.
Every effort has been made to ensure that entries are complete according to 2004
data. However, estimates have been used in some cases and we welcome relevant
additions or amendments to the survey. Please send any comments to :
