Webinar Recording: How to Succeed in Emerging Markets

In 2013, emerging markets will continue to drive global economic and consumer market growth. Consumer goods companies are overcoming the many challenges of operating in emerging markets by tailoring their strategies accordingly. Key to success is a thorough understanding of the operating environment and consumer trends in these markets. Companies are looking beyond the traditional BRIC markets, onto second tier markets such as the Future 7 (Argentina, Egypt, Indonesia, Mexico, South Africa, Turkey and Vietnam) and also beyond to frontier markets, which are experiencing the fastest growth.

Webinar Recording: Homewares and Home Furnishings: Global Trends and Outlook to 2016

Euromonitor International’s Home and Garden webinar sets the global Homewares and Home Furnishing markets in context, reviewing overall performance alongside country case studies –in both developed and emerging economies. We will be looking at related socio-economic trends such as urbanization, female workforce and ageing population. Market performance will be reviewed against manufacturers and retailers strategies with a view to what the industry can expect to 2016.

Key points:

• The global Homewares market grew by 9% and Home Furnishings by 8%. Which countries have delivered the best performance in 2011? What will happen over the five years?
• Only seven countries spend more than $1,000 per household in Homewares and Home Furnishings. What will happen over the next five years? Will more countries join the list or the economic downturn will take its toll?
• Homewares was the best performing category in countries as diverse as the US and China. What makes Homewares the strongest category in these countries?
• Direct selling is a key channel for Homewares in many countries, both developed and emerging. Will this channel retain its importance over the forecast year or will be cannibalized by other non-store retailing channels such as the internet?

Webinar Recording: Exploring the Evolution of Luxury Goods and New Strategies for Growth in Global Fragrances

Euromonitor International’s latest research on the global luxury goods market indicates another solid year’s performance in store for 2012, despite persistent economic turbulence, mounting troubles in the Eurozone and on-going political instability in several emerging markets.

Within luxury beauty in particular, premium fragrance sales have seen a strong resurgence since the blip experienced in the prime of the recession. Greater demand for exclusivity and unconventional fragrances has been at the core of this performance, much of the same features that characterise the development of other luxury segments. The key challenge for fragrances remains the ability to stand out in an increasingly crowded marketplace. Fragrance houses are looking to exert more discerning qualities through artisanal scents, limited editions or niche standalone brands which reflect greater authenticity and uniqueness. This is becoming particularly crucial for the industry’s high-value markets, but increasingly so for the next tier spotlights of Russia and China where a distinct taste for luxury is becoming ever more apparent.

Euromonitor International’s webinar will aim to answer these questions by focusing on the latest innovation and growth strategies adopted by premium fragrance players in the context of the global luxury goods market and other luxury segments. It will identify new geographic prospects and luxury hot spots to 2017, as well as reveal the key industry trends and drivers behind the more definitive taste for exclusivity and individuality, which consumers are acquiring. With experience and personalisation taking centre stage, digital and in-store retail strategies will also be discussed and future opportunities identified.

• With value sales close to US$77 billion in 2012, the US is by far the biggest luxury goods market globally
• Sales of luxury goods in China tripled in value in the five years to 2012
• Premium fragrances outshone all other product segments, with a value contribution of 35% of total premium beauty in 2011
• Saudi Arabia and South Africa are among the top ten absolute growth markets for premium fragrances

Webinar Recording: Less is More - Sustainability and the Modern Consumer

Risks around natural resources are one of the key issues challenging companies today. It is a problem that has also found resonance with consumers globally and has an impact on all markets and industries.

We will examine the challenges and opportunities of sustainability and consider how this permeates down to consumer choices and purchasing decisions. 

• Along with economic development, urbanisation and increasing incomes in emerging markets demand for natural resources has grown. Higher and more volatile prices have come with this increase in demand. With the global population set to expand to 8.3 billion by 2030, with 90% of this growth in emerging markets, demand will continue to grow.
• Companies are combating high and volatile commodity prices and aiming for ‘brownie points’ from consumers and green pressure/campaign groups by increasing their emphasis on sustainability: reducing packaging, improving energy efficiency, adjusting their supply chains, diversifying supplies and refining product design.
• Rising incomes in past years have enabled consumers to pay a premium for green products. During the recession to a great extent emphasis has moved to green thrift, with more people recognising the snug fit between saving money and caring for the environment. Collaborative consumption (sharing, renting and bartering) is a key aspect of this trend. Consumers today are engaging in and comfortable with selling on and buying second-hand, ‘pre-loved’ items, often freeing up the value in what they own to be able to upgrade to newer product editions.
• As growing consumer concerns are becoming embedded in the greener business plans of multinationals, emerging market consumers are also becoming exposed to and showing that they care about such issues. In many cases in developing markets, green concerns are becoming part and parcel of consumer safety considerations related to food and air quality.

Webinar Recording: Toys and Games - Key Trends, Developments and Prospects

Euromonitor International's latest research reveals accelerating global growth for toys and games in 2011, but contrasting growth trends between developed and emerging economies. Value sales of toys and games declined in Western Europe and North America in 2011, affected by the continuing economic weakness in the regions, while global growth was underpinned by Eastern Europe and Latin America. In traditional toys and games, licensed properties, such as Cars 2, performed well during the year; while digital gaming, which is at an all-time high, helped to offset the decline in boxed product sales of video games.

Key Facts:

• The global toys and games market recorded 3% value growth in 2011 compared with just 1% gain a year before, defying anaemic economic activity. Steady real term growth is expected to continue to 2016.
• In video games, the shift from packaged software and hardware towards digital gaming continued throughout 2011. Both hardware and packaged software value sales contracted due to the console cycle, posting a 3% and 2% decline, respectively, compared to an 18% gain for digital gaming. Hand-held video games consoles was the only category to put in a positive performance in video games (outside of digital gaming) thanks mainly to the launch of Nintendo 3DS in 2011.
• In traditional toys and games, Eastern Europe and Latin America were the fastest growing regions globally, both recording double-digit value growth in 2011. These regions were followed closely by Asia Pacific which enjoyed around 9% value growth in 2011 thanks to impressive performances from India and China.
• The global video games market recorded just 1.5% value growth in 2011 (including digital gaming), due mainly to declining sales in North America and Western Europe. Video games in these two regions accounted for almost 60% of global value sales in 2011.

Webinar Recording: B2B Strategy - Quantitative Analysis of Your Downstream Value Chain

The main purpose of a business strategy is to place factors of production where they add most value. Unfortunately, accurate alignment of resources is impossible without a thorough analysis of one’s demand sources. Business interactions are the essence of the B2B market; therefore, before making strategic decisions, one should be well aware of the relations between industries and their downstream value chain.

This presentation looks at quantitative analysis of the B2B marketplace, presenting publicly available data from National Statistics Offices and ways to exploit this data for analysis of B2B clients. The core focus is on Input-Output tables, which provide visibility into primary, secondary and tertiary industry connections. We will also discuss major data limitations and methods to overcome these issues.

The key data applications to be discussed with examples and case studies include:

• Mapping your downstream value chain
• Measuring the exact impact on demand of any industry 
• Sizing your income potential from target industries
• Investigating the corporate landscape
• Analyzing client sensitivity to pricing changes
