Apparel Industry and Its Competitive Factors
The global apparel industry continues to grow healthily into the future. This is attributed to the absence of switching costs for consumers and great product differentiation which has resulted into moderate competition rate. Apparel industry is important to all the economies across the globe as it contribute immensely to trade, employment, investment and revenue all over the world. The industry has vast product differentiation, short product life cycles, and is characterized by great pace of demand change that is coupled with rather long and fixed supply processes.
According to statista.com, the US Apparel industry is estimated to be around $225billion with the women accounting for the largest sales volume at $110,826 million. As of 2015, the market was valued at approximately 343 billion U.S. dollars. Price per apparel article in US was estimated to be about $19. The clothing stores sales in the industry was also estimated to about $183.01bn. The U.S. Apparel Manufacturing was reported to have employed about 89,588 people as of 2014. At the retail level clothing store sales in U.S. was estimated at $183.01bn while the U.S. apparel and accessories retail e-commerce revenue was reported to be about $63.5 Major retail and discount stores are the likes of Target, Wal-Mart, and Kohl's; these firms operate by keeping profit margins thin at stores which sell moderately priced apparel.

6. ZARA in China “Inditex has strong potential to continue growing in a profitable way over the coming years and, in this regard, our priority is to focus on expansion in Europe and Asia” – 2009 Inditex Annual Report
7. ZARA in China “In other words: Right Working Conditions (Compliance), Right Health and Safety, Right Quality, Right Delivery Time and, finally Right Price” –2009 Inditex Annual Report
45. Supply Chain Suppliers are all close to their factories so ZARA can order on a need-basis Clothes are ironed in advance and packed on hangers, with security and price tags affixed ZARA buys fabric in only 4 different colors; designs and cuts its fabric in-house Overnight trucks are used to deliver to European stores and airfreight is used to ship to other countries
47. ZARA: Challenges in China “Of course, one size doesn't fit all. But there are ‘unifying themes’ and ‘variations’ on these themes…Some roll their eyes when I harp on about a Chinese ‘worldview’ that is fundamentally differentfrom Westerners' basic motivations. But smirks be damned. In order to touch hearts, brands need to be brought into alignment with this worldview…
48. ZARA: Challenges in China “A unifying "Confucian" conflict—between self-protection and status projection—thatbrands have a fundamental role inresolving.” “Unlike practically any other country (Korea and Vietnam come closest),China isboth boldly ambitious (ladders are meant to be climbed and meritocracy is a cherished value) andregimented, with hierarchical and procedural booby traps for anyone who hasn't mastered the system” --Tom Doctoroff (JWT)
49. ZARA: Challenges in China Tension between upward mobility and fear-based conformism shows up everywhere, in every business meetings, in every struggle with a mother-in-law, in every new generation release on the internet. Brands that help consumers simultaneously stand out and fit in have the greatest appeal -Tom Doctoroff (CEO, Greater China of J. Thomson
52. Suggestions for ZARA: E-Commerce 33 million Inditex visitors are going on ZARA's website 26 million visits in 2008 ZARA – Inditex 2008 Annual Report compared to Inditex 2009 Annual Report
53. Recommendations: Branch out to China New branch in China China’s business environment very different from Europe’s Needs to adapt if it wants to continue expanding Central distribution center in Xiamen Already has foreign investors Located by ocean, great for shipping Warehouse in many region to highly penetrate the market and to reduce the complexity of the process Faster, more effective and efficient in distributing their products to the retailers
54. ZARA: Branch Out To China Outsource Focus on creating connections Can still have flexibility and better prices Achieve economy of scale Ex) HungJin Trading Co., Ltd “Capital intensive” to “Labor intensive” Cost of labor in China still much lower than Europe Chinese workers lack the skills to properly operate and manage equipment
55. Sell Online Online sales have generated billions of dollars in revenue Victoria Secret earned1.56 billion USD in 2010 Show no signs of stopping, only increasing L.L. Bean’s online sales increased by 29% in 2010 Could do the same for ZARA China has the world’s largest online population
56. Green Supply Chain China develops quickly, but at expense of environment ZARA should create a green supply chain Create good reputation Be a leader for other companies in China

Emily恒隆广场 (进南京西路)Nanjing Xi Lu, ShanghaiZARA opened its first store in Shanghai, China during February of 2006. On the day of the grand opening, the Company gained a revenue of 80,000RMB. Within three years, 23 stores appeared in 2009, and by the end of that year the number of stores nearly doubled. ZARA has predicted to increase the number of stores within 2011 by a 150 percent jump from the previous year. The Company intends to expand towards secondary cities, expanding quicker than many popular apparel brands (i.e., H&M, Gap, etc). First – shanghai, then beijing – then they started to move towards first tiered cities like Nanjing, ShenzhenObjective: Expand to secondary cities (ask casey more about secondary cities)Established institution

Gap entered the Chinese market in 2010, with only four stores. ZARA not only has the most stores in China, but around the world as well with over 13,000 stores. Gap trails as the runner up with approximately 3,000 GAP stores, and there are nearly 2,000 H&M stores.ZARA's expanding quicker than UniqloH&M came to China 2007End of 2010: 33 StoresMonthly Revenue @ Huahai store: 8 million RMB (2010)ZARA ( around 30 % more expensive than in Europe and US to equate the transportation ) Comparison: H&M needs 5 more days from design – product (by doing that, prices are 30 – 50 % lower than ZARA)ZARA – design to product: 15 daysH&M – 21 daysGap – 90 days (more quantity, less designs)Comparison: Gap came to China last year – 4 stores (2010)In the world:ZARA 13,095 stores (2010)H&M 1,988 GAP 3,095

ZARA's current supply chain strategy works well in Spain, but as it expands more in China, the costs of shipping will outweigh the benefits of being centered in Spain. China’s business environment is very different from Spain’s so ZARA will need to adapt to Chinese practices if it truly wants to expand successfully. We suggest starting a new branch in Xiaomen. The location is ideal since it is located near the ocean, decreasing the costs of transportation. It also has many foreign investors, so business there are accustomed to working with western policies.
ZARA uses many suppliers in Spain to keep up with its frequent orders. This has caused problems with fabric quality. To prevent this problem in China, we suggest for ZARA to choose a few reliable suppliers and focus on making good relations. This way, they can treat the suppliers as if they were part of the same company, achieving the same flexibility and low costs they are used to. We suggest working directly with HungJin Trading, a supplier known for its variety of fabrics, high quality, and good relations with customers. Since ZARA has experience dealing with suppliers, we suggest ZARA cut out any middlemen. ZARA is “capital intensive”, meaning it relies mostly on machines rather than people to make their clothes. Since China is still a developing country, labor is only a sixth of the cost.
