5. INDUSTRY AND MARKET PLACE

5.1 The Industry

5.1.1 Definition of the Retail Industry

Retailing is a business of selling goods to important customers for

personal, family and household use. Retailers are business firms

which involves in offering goods and services directly to consumers.

The function of overlooking the wholesale and retail sector falls

under the supervision of the Ministry of Domestic Trade and

Consumer Affairs (MDTCA) through the Committee on Wholesale

and Retail Trade. The Committee was born in 1995 to control the

industry, including foreign participation in the sector. Authorization

for foreign companies to set up or opening wholesale or retail

operations locally or relocate the branches is needed from the

Committee.

5.1.2 Shape of Industry

The retail environment in Malaysia has been through a continuous

changes in the past 10 years. The retail division in Malaysia contains

a complicated blend of many changing forms of economic

behaviour and organization apparent such as hawkers, street

traders, small family business, wet and dry markets, night markets,

bazaars and supermarkets.

But the retailing in Malaysia was growing to be more mature.

Retailing industry is expanding as retailers with growing retail brands

in Malaysia offering a wider choices to consumers in both brands

and styles.

Page 34: Situation Analysis about ZAWARA

ZAWARA Situation Analysis 34

The Malaysian retail industry is floating with strong retail growth of

12.8% in 2007,the highest since 1992 while private consumption

spending grew at 11.7%. With slowdown economy and the

increasing prices of basic products, the consumers begin to limit

their spending as they facing financial difficulties.

5.1.3 Development of the Industry

After the recession hits the economy of Malaysia in year 2008 and

2009, 2010 finally has witnessed economic recovery. The purchasing

power is slowly growing of both local and international consumers

due to spending from pent-up, restricted, suppressed demand and

increasing tourist arrivals. Retailing had a healthy growth in 2010. But

with many uncertainties shadowing global economy, economic

environment still remained challenging. Thus, retailers resumed their

proceed their expansion plans in a moderate way, while consumers

spent cautiously.

Foreign retailers getting stronger reputation as the consumers

demanding more choices from retailing and getting more

international tastes. This has made the retailing in Malaysia more

competitive and saturated. GCH Retail, Tesco Stores, AEON Co and

Carrefour Magnificent Diagraph foreign retailers are rapidly growing

in Malaysia and replacing many local leading players in retailing. In

2010, The Store Corp, Econsave Cash & Carry, Parkson Corp were

the only three local players who in the top 10 list of value share.

5.2 The Marketplace

5.2.1 Current Market Condition

Women's apparel is one of the most competitive market place in

Malaysia. Majority of the foreign or international brands for women's

apparel market has established the business for very long time

compared to some of the local brands in Malaysia. This is a problem

to local fashion retail market when the foreign or international

brands have entered Malaysia's market.

The biggest fashion market in Malaysia is Bukit Bintang area as there

are several shopping centres located there and frequently visited.

Zara, GAP, Charles and Keith, Aldo, G2000, Topshop, MNG, Padini,

Forever 21, Pull and Bear, F.O.S, ESPIRIT and many more well known

fashion retailers are located in that area which is a busy consumer's

traffic.

Other than that, popular huge shopping complexes like Mid Valley

Megamall, One Utama, KLCC, Sunway Pyramid, The Gardens, The

Curve, IOI mall are good market place for the fashion industry. The

majority of the stores in the shopping malls are fashion retailer and

outlets and these malls are always packed with people during the

weekends and public holidays.

5.2.2 Changes in the Market Place

As the technology and electric media develop further, Malaysians

are slowly becoming more conscious about their appearances as
