The document discusses the growing threat that European hard discount retailers Aldi and Lidl pose to other retailers across Europe and potentially worldwide. It outlines how Aldi and Lidl have been rapidly expanding across Europe through new store openings and geographic expansion. Their business model of offering a limited product assortment at very low prices has put pressure on other retailers and suppliers. The document examines Aldi and Lidl's operations and growth in different European countries and suggests their business approach could significantly impact retailers in other parts of the world as well.

IRI Special Report: Private Label in Western Economies, 2016 IRI, INTL
Private label’s value market share in Europe fell by 0.6 points to 38.3% in 2015, compared to the previous year, as a share of the total FMCG market.
This highlights both a downward trend in all countries (except in the UK and Australia) and the fact that retailers and manufacturers are struggling to cope with challenging market conditions. This includes pressure from national brands pumping large amounts of money into promotions. Private label unit market share in Europe - measured by pack sales - also dropped by 0.5 points to 47.4% last year.

Enterprise Excellence is Inclusive Excellence.pdfKaiNexus
Enterprise excellence and inclusive excellence are closely linked, and real-world challenges have shown that both are essential to the success of any organization. To achieve enterprise excellence, organizations must focus on improving their operations and processes while creating an inclusive environment that engages everyone. In this interactive session, the facilitator will highlight commonly established business practices and how they limit our ability to engage everyone every day. More importantly, though, participants will likely gain increased awareness of what we can do differently to maximize enterprise excellence through deliberate inclusion.
What is Enterprise Excellence?
Enterprise Excellence is a holistic approach that's aimed at achieving world-class performance across all aspects of the organization.
What might I learn?
A way to engage all in creating Inclusive Excellence. Lessons from the US military and their parallels to the story of Harry Potter. How belt systems and CI teams can destroy inclusive practices. How leadership language invites people to the party. There are three things leaders can do to engage everyone every day: maximizing psychological safety to create environments where folks learn, contribute, and challenge the status quo.
Who might benefit? Anyone and everyone leading folks from the shop floor to top floor.

European penetration
The companies are both present
across Western Europe, including
France, Spain and the UK.
Lidl has led more recent expansion
into Scandinavia and Central/ Eastern
Europe.
Lidl entered Norway, Hungary and
Slovakia in 2004 with more eastward
expansion expected.
Aldi is moving more cautiously with
Switzerland in 2004 and plans for
Sweden, Poland, Czech Republic and
New Zealand.

The impact
The worst is evident in Germany, where
Aldi and Lidl own a big share of the food
market and drive a super price-sensitive
marketplace.
Carrefour’s recent weak results in
France are a result of the growth of
hard discounters led by Lidl.
In other countries such as the UK, the
hard discount impact is insidious –
growing slowly and unnoticeably.
The impact is not limited to Europe. Lidl
is eying Canada. Aldi’s entry has roiled
Australia while its US presence grows
slowly, but steadily.
KarstadtQuelle is among the retailer’s reeling in
Germany’s super competitive environment.
5. 4
Impact bigger than Wal-Mart?
In ways, Aldi and Lidl’s impact on the
marketplace, notably on suppliers, may
be bigger than Wal-Mart.
Their impact is multiplied because of
their focus on so few sku’s – 700 to
1,200 – compared with 28,000 to
125,000 sku’s for Wal-Mart’s various
formats.
That means that Aldi and Lidl’s
purchasing power per sku can be several
times that of Wal-Mart.
As a result, in certain sku’s, Aldi and Lidl
can eclipse Wal-Mart’s ability to squeeze
suppliers and cut prices.
A Wal-Mart Supercenter in Germany, where the
US retailer has had disappointing results so far.
6. 5
The response
The threat is triggering a wave of strategic
moves by competitors to adjust formats,
add private label, etc.
The hypermarket boom has given way to
multi-format strategies that span from big
boxes to small formats.
Others, such as Ahold, have pulled out of
hypermarkets to focus on core formats
such as supermarkets.
Private label is multiplying, such as
Carrefour’s Number One, Delhaize’s 365,
and Ahold’s Euro Shopper.
Direct global sourcing is expanding access
to lower cost product.
Carrefour is depending on its new Number One
private label to help turn the tide in France.
7. 6
Aldi & Lidl in Perspective
Expansion has helped Aldi and Lidl inch
up the rankings of leading retailers
worldwide.
Aldi ranked 12th and Lidl 24th in 2003,
according to the report Top 200
Retailers Worldwide by Retail
Forward.
The Lidl hard discount chain is the
largest division of the Schwarz Group.
Aldi and Lidl are among the most
internationalized retailers, each
present in more than a dozen
countries.

Aldi background
Aldi, short for Albrecht Discounts, is
actually two companies, Aldi Sud and
Aldi Nord.
Aldi Sud manages expansion in English-
speaking countries and Austria, which
borders its operations in Southern
Germany.
Aldi Nord manages expansion in the
rest of Europe as well as Northern
Germany.
The divisions were run by the
Albrecht brothers Karl (Sud) and Theo
(Nord) until 2003.

9. 8
Aldi store characteristics
Both Aldi companies operate with the
same limited assortment, private label
strategy.
A typical store is about 15,000 sq. ft.
(1,000-1,500 sq. m.) with as few as 700
products and as much as 95% of it
private label.
Aldi’s well-developed private label skill
has created a competitive advantage
with a combination of low prices at a
high standard of quality.
10. 9
Aldi by country
Besides Europe, Aldi also is in the US
and more recently Australia, which is
one of its fastest growing markets.
Aldi’s stores in the US include more
than 200 Trader Joe’s stores, which
extends the Aldi concept to upscale
products.
The Aldi format in the US reportedly
aims to grow by 300 stores to reach
1,000 by 2010.
Aldi’s growth has recently been driven
outside Germany, where conditions
have stagnated.

Lidl background
Lidl is the biggest part of the multi-
format Schwarz Group. Its Kaufland
hypermarkets are also spreading into
Eastern Europe.
Dieter Schwarz is the primary owner
of the Schwarz Group, structured
largely to minimize union and other
legal requirements.
While the Group dates to the 1930s,
the first Lidl store opened in 1973 as a
copy of Aldi.
12. 11
Lidl store characteristics
Although developed as a copy of the
Aldi concept, over time Lidl has
differentiated its concept.
Lidl is more promotional than Aldi,
which uses an EDLP strategy with non-
food promotions to boost traffic.
Lidl’s limited assortment is larger
(about 1,200 sku’s) and relies more on
brand products.
Lidl is known for squeezing suppliers
more so than Aldi and reacting faster
to new consumer demands.
13. 12
Lidl by country
After Germany, Lidl is most successful
in France, where it stuffed its
assortment into 300 sq. m. stores to
skirt restrictions.
Lidl has moved into Scandinavia with
Finland in 2002, Sweden last year and
soon Norway.
An eastern push began with Poland in
2002, Czech Republic last year and
Hungary and Slovakia in 2004.
Lidl is also looking beyond Europe.
Stretched resources kept it from
entering Canada this year.

Looking Forward
Suppliers will see no let-up to the shrinking space on store shelves and unrelenting
pressure to cut prices as hard discounters drive retailers’ focus on private label, edited
assortments, and active sourcing and brand management.
The impact of hard discounters will vary to degree by country. Cultural differences
mean that the impact of hard discounters will likely never approach the German
outcome for most countries.
At same time, hard discounters have room to make significant gains in most countries
around the world, including the US.
The gains will be driven by an expanding down market in many parts of the world, as
economic growth increasingly diverges among the poorest and wealthiest households.
The impact will also be driven by hard discounters’ continuing expansion into apparel
and homegoods as they evolve to drive traffic and raise margins.
