Executive Summary

China remains the world’s fastest growing large economy, and foreign investors and marketers continue to scope the country for new ways into the growing wallets of Chinese consumers. The truth, of course, is that China is a tough market anyway, and none perhaps is tougher than electronics and appliances retailing. Tough, because the competition is so fierce, margins so tight and, until recently, the available market was shrinking.

The rural rebate scheme for reduced price goods to rural consumers has made the available market a lot bigger though, over the past few years. Recent estimates of the 2009 Chinese New Year retail figures show that the scheme is beginning to have a significant effect. Official estimates for the CNY period show sales of household electric appliances grew by 17.8% over the same period in 2008.

Margins may be tight, but when volume sales are surging ahead like this, the retailers and manufacturers continue to have scope to make a profit, and this is keeping the overall market very much alive. New entrants are still appearing within the market, and the specialist retailers continue to be forced to share the market with non-specialists, such as department stores, online retailers and others.

This sector of the retail market is important beyond its own borders. It has produced the largest retail companies in China, by turnover, and their significance within the wider retail market, and the overall consumer economy of China, cannot be ignored.
