Strict restrictions to import products were the main driving factor for the performance of leisure and personal goods specialist retailers in 2014. All industries faced strong limits to maintain their regular supply but those considered non-basic by government standards were affected the most. Many brands in the channel showed just a few items on shelves with no variety and not much stock. Under this context, they were not able to provide consumers with their minimum requirements. Of course, the scarcity caused nervous purchases that drove demand up but some stores simply could not offer enough products to maintain consumer interest.

Demand for all-in-one automatic washer dryers continues to increase substantially in Colombia, largely the expense of automatic washing machines and automatic tumble dryers. Declining unit prices mean that the gap between the prices charged for washer dryers and the prices charged for tumble dryers is closing, encouraging consumers to opt for smaller and more convenient home laundry appliances which can help them to save space amount. All-in-one automatic washer dryers occupy less space than keeping a separate automatic washing machine and automatic tumble dryer and the most recent energy saving models have largely overcome the previous complaints about the excessive energy consumption of automatic washer dryers. When automatic washer dryers were first launched in Colombia, demand was constrained by the relatively high prices charged for these appliances and the general opinion that they consumed relatively high levels of energy. Nowadays, however, the leading manufacturers in home laundry appliances in Colombia offer energy-saving and water-saving models in automatic washer dryers. The range of automatic tumble dryers on offer in Colombia comprises mainly gas fuelled appliances for consumers who already have the necessary gas connection or are willing to invest substantial amounts in the installation of a suitable gas connection.

As consumers are more interested in following a balanced and healthy diet, one of the main product types they have been prone to switch is breakfast cereals. This is why demand for healthier and more natural cereals has increased, because these products represent a healthy breakfast and can be considered sufficiently complete to be consumed as a whole meal. However, this trend is mainly seen among upper-middle and upper-income adults, as these products tend to be expensive and children still prefer very sweet products.

Volume growth within baked goods in 2014 was slightly better compared to average volume growth during the review period (CAGR -1%) but weaker than average in current value terms (CAGR 2%). Price volatility during the review period regarding raw materials used for baked goods manufacturing was the main driver of current value growth. Declining volume consumption of bread is the main reason behind the volume contraction in baked goods for the fourth year in a row during 2014. Two smaller baked goods areas recorded positive volume growth in 2014 and during the review period. Bread is a category far more vulnerable to growing poverty rates in the country, relative to pastries and cakes which typically target consumers not battling poverty - data shows that consumption of bread is falling, mainly due to declining demand amongst the poorest consumer segments.

Since the removal of the 10% sales tax on all mobile phones in Malaysia in 2010, the growth of mobile phones has been on a positive and upward trajectory. Recognising the large growth potential in Malaysia, a rising number of phone manufacturers started entering the country, leading to a high concentration of mobile phone sets towards the end of the review period. This intensifying competition pushed down the prices for mobile sets, thereby narrowing profit margins for phone manufacturers. There is also a rising 3G uptake in Malaysia as smartphones and data services become more affordable to the consumers. Coupled with the rising affluence and availability of low cost devices, 3G service is gaining traction in the nation. Moreover, more Malaysian operators are pushing for the launch of next generation LTE 4G services, upon receiving the requisite operating licences in 2012.

We expect such strategic military objectives to continue to fuel arms procurements, particularly from its closest trade partner the US, and drive an increase in overall defence expenditure for the remainder of our forecast period.
