We can hear a lot currently about "New Retail" in China. It's the current favorite topic of Jack Ma !
During the recent "Single Day", ALIBABA smashed again all the records by achieving a GMV of 25 billion dollars ... According to the leaders of the group, this figure could be reached by bringing innovations and fluidity between offline and online purchases: This is what they call the "New Retail"
You will find in this presentation some concrete examples of retailers that exploit the convergence between offline and online and that propose new modes / types of distribution.
3. CONTEXT
Chinese households are in a logic of discovery of consumption,
products and brands.
Purchasing power of Chinese households will continues to increase
and therefore it will have a positive impact on consumption
Modern physical distribution: Walmart, Lianhua, Century Mart, RT
Mart, Carrefour or H & M, Uniqlo, Metersbonwe... does not
dominate the market. These retailers do not cover the whole
Chinese territory. Therefore Chinese consumers haven’t got well
established purchases habits (no loyalty to a POS / channel).
Internet and e-commerce have favored access to consumption
thanks to the ease of purchase, the large choice and the delivery
flexibility.
4. CONTEXT
Significant investments in digital infrastructures made by the
Chinese Government which allows most Chinese to have a very
good access to the network.
The internet population is a yound and connected population. 70%
of internet users have between 10 and 39 years...
Internet figures

the fresh products they buy
online (in the POS or at other

seafood products.

31. Conclusion
"New Retail" for the consumer - my view -:
The smartphone is the central tool. It allows to initiate the shopping
(PoS entry, recognition as a customer) and to finish it (PoS exit,
payment)
Association of physical PoS and cell phone / internet brings simplicity,
no cash needed, no cashier. It also allows a personalization of the offer
on the web page of the customer.
"New Retail" for the Distributor - their point of view -:
Reduction of the operating costs. This is the arguments of Auchan
(Bingo Box) and Bian Li Xing
An additional step in the optimization of customer data. The more the
client connects to in different places and for different uses, the more
'artificial intelligence’ can then anticipate purchases, generate demand,
and also optimize management of the assortment and inventory.
32. Conclusion
Current status:
Hema, Bingo Box, Xing Bian Li and Biu are PoS that exist. They are in
development and propose a business model.
Taocafe is a concept. Taocafe has been opened for 4 days only, in
Hangzhou, during a show Alibaba
A favourable legal framework:
There is no protection of personal data in China. All actors, e-commerce
websites, systems of online payments, telephone operators, banks,
hospitals, restaurants... can keep your data and use and / or market
them !
