Boston, MA -- (SBWIRE) -- 06/24/2014 -- Mixed retailers registered healthy growth in value sales in 2013. An important driver of this growth was the increase in the number of department store outlets in particular. Investment in the expansion of the number of outlets by Hema was a major driver of growth, as this company contributed most to the increase in outlet number, selling space and therefore value sales. Although the new Hema outlets are generally smaller stores, as they cater to either smaller communities or consumers who are on the go, the expansion of Hema was a major reason for the growth of mixed retailers in 2013.

Competitive Landscape

Blokker BV led overall sales in the category and sales in the variety stores channel in 2013 with a 69% value share. Blokker lost some share in 2013 due to the slight decline of Marskramer. Xenos, and the relatively new retail brand Big Bazar, achieved better results, mainly due to the increasing number of outlets and because they are well positioned to deal with the difficult economic circumstances.

Industry Prospects

The mixed retailers channel is expected to see an anaemic performance over the forecast period. The decline in value sales expected for department stores is the main issue as variety stores are predicted to register growth in value sales over the forecast period. For department stores the economic situation and the resulting lack of consumer confidence will continue to be a major obstacles for recovery. However, for the long-term the increased competition from online players might be the largest issue.
