A whitepaper by Colliers International and Frost & Sullivan 3

Rapid proliferation of high-speed Internet and Internet-enabled smart devices has contributed to the expansion of online retail in India at more than 40 percent growth in FY 2013-14. In contrast, organised retail grew just 10-12 percent in the same period, while brick and mortar retail, as a whole, grew 6-7 percent. Capital value and retail rentals remained �at in India’s top seven cities in FY 13-14. Overall absorption declined and only 1.6 million sq ft of retail space was absorbed in India in 2014, down from 5.1 million sq ft in 2013. The entry of a number of high pro�le participants into the online retail �eld recently, along with an in�ux of private equity funds and investment from foreign venture capitalists, has resulted in a huge boost in funding that translated to tremendous sales growth in e-tail. Mall owners are currently, looking for a defense strategy to ensure the viability of their retail assets. However, as they say there is always an opportunity with a threat, it is observed that retailers are increasingly integrating both o�ine and online presence through di�erent combinations of product presentation, payment, and delivery modules for their stores and digital platforms.

This whitepaper aims to �nd out the recent trends in Brick and Mortar retail and online retail in India and aims to provide an insight into the future, along with a focus on the impact it had on real estate requirements.

Introduction

Online retail in India is expected to touch USD 22 billion by 2018. Mobile internet users in India is expected to cross 300 MN by 2017 from 159 million users at present, further aiding e-tail penetration.

Impact of e-tailing on brick and mortar retail in India 4

Although the retail sector in India is still dominated by the unorganised sector; the organised retail sector is growing steadily, though it has less than 10 percent share of the total sector. The country’s organised retail is still concentrated in cities, especially metros, mini metros, and top cities.

Source: Colliers International India Research, IBEF, Frost & Sullivan

The total existing stock in terms of Gross Leasable Area (GLA) in the 5 major cities currently standsat approximately 70 million sq ft. About 21 million sq ft is currently under construction, which isexpected to become operational in the next 3 years.

India’s retail industry is �ourishing and accounts for 22 percent of the country’s GDP. In 2014, the market was worth USD 500 billion and is expanding at a CAGR of 15-20 percent. The Indian retail industry is considered the seventh largest retail market in the world. The penetration level of modern retail which is 8-10 percent currently is expected to increase six-fold from the current USD 27 billion to USD 220 billion in 2020.

Rental appreciation in prime shopping markets of major cities like New Delhi and Mumbai

Historically, low demand supply in India in 2015

Global brands demanding prime locations to launch operations; quality spaces low in metro cities

Out of 71.6 million sq ft of retail space available in the country, 12.6 million sq ft remained vacant in 2014

In Delhi and Mumbai, availability of quality retail space is expected to remain tight in core areas

Annual absorption decreased to 1.6 million sq ft in 2014 compared to 5.1 million sq ft in 2013

Exhibit 4: Mixed outlook for malls in India

So far we have not seen any major impact on rentals and capital value of retail malls. Going forward we see a mixed outlook for malls in India, with global brands focusing on prime shopping markets.

The Indian e-commerce industry grew at a CAGR of 34 percent from 2009 until 2014touching US $16.4 billion.

e-tailing is the fastest growing segment in Indian e-commerce at a CAGR of 56 percent over the same period (2009-2014).

Foreign venture capitalists and private equity �rms invested US $3.9 billion, led by TigerGlobal, Sequoia, DST Global, Soft Bank, and So�na.

Global e-tailer Amazon has announced that it will invest US $2 billion in expanding itsIndian operations.

• Funds go mainly into customer acquisition, for back-end support, and service delivery.CAGR of 10 percent in digital payments from 2010 till 2014 helped e-tail. COD still accounts for half of e-tail payments.

• Major Indian e-tailers in customer acquisition mode - e-tailers persist with discounts for the fear of losing customers to rivals. It is not sustainable in the long run.

Emergence ofe-tail

In India the e-tail revolution started o�cially around two to three years back. Ebay and Amazon were the �rst ones to foray in to the market, with companies like Flipkart, Myntra and Snapdeal, etc. joining the online bandwagon recently. With their unique business models and perseverance, e-tailing gradually started taking o�. The game changer that triggered the growth spurt was Cash on Delivery (COD) model, which facilitated a safe and convenient shopping experience for consumers. As per comScore data, Amazon India has received 23.6 million unique visitors, while the number was 23.5 million for Flipkart and 17.9 million for Snapdeal in May 2015.

Competition from e-tailers has been the major reason behind the slowdown of sales for majority of the bigger mall retailers. The e-tail business in India is expected to grow in the backdrop of fast growing internet penetration and developing infrastructure like payment and delivery systems.

Growth drivers & challengesfor e-tail in India

The primary factors driving e-tail in India are increased internet penetration, convenience of shopping, and discounts o�ered by these e-tail websites. Another major factor driving demand is the transparency of price as consumers feel con�dent that they are getting the best value possible. There are websites, for example, buyhutke.com that do research for the customer and compare prices on all major e-tail sites. In addition, other customer reviews help in �nalizing the product.

GROWTH DR IVERS CHALLENGES

However, it is a debatable subject whether shopping online is derived more by convenience or by discounts o�ered. It is very early to say but it appears that discounts o�ered by e-etail companies is the primary driver of this demand. Reportedly, all the major players, whether it is Flipkart or Snapdeal are bleeding cash. Other challenges are low internet penetration, less credit card users, poor logistics and transport infrastructure, COD especially last mile, etc. However, the scope of internet growth will have a positive impact on retailers’ volumes and market share, but the cost of packaging and distribution can erode pro�t margins. Retailers are under pressure to �nd the optimal e-distribution model.

E-tail has become the favourite investment destination for Private Equity (PE) investors, with companies such as like Flipkart, Amazon, and Snapdeal announcing some of the major investments in the last year. Tiger Global, Sequoia, DST Global, Soft Bank and So�na were the key Venture Capitalists (VC)/PE investors. Research indicates that the sector has secured over USD 4.4 billion investment from VC/PE and internal funding. Refer to exhibit 7 for more details on some of the recent investments.

Impact of e-tail on theretail sector

The primary impact of e-tail on the physical retail format is in 3 areas:

1. Low growth As physical retail sales stagnate and growth is lower than previous years, retail chains are forced to open fewer stores. Even footfall during festive season has been reduced which is going in favour of online retail. As per secondary sources the retail revenue growth in 2014-15 has come down to 10 to 11 percent from 13 percent in 2013-14.

2. Diminishing marginsCustomers started demanding to match online prices for goods, particularly electronics are forcing retailers to sell at lower prices. Certain brands sell exclusively on the Internet via tie-ups with e-tail partners, thereby denying o�ine retailers business.

3. Reduced sales densityShowrooming as a trend is on the rise resulting in footfalls not essentially translating into sales.For example : Online retail is rapidly penetrating the electronics segment, especially the cellphone market. As a result, South India’s largest brick and mortar cellphone retailer, UniverCell is now looking to shut the 380-store chain.

Response of brick and mortarretailers to online retail

Brick and mortar retailers are increasingly wary of the threats posed by the attractiveness of online retail. In mature markets, such as the USA, retailers such as Walmart in several cases, match the prices o�ered by their online rivals. It is observed that retailers are increasingly integrating both o�ine and online presence through di�erent combinations of product presentation, payment, and delivery across stores and the digital platform.

Brick and mortar shops are trying to di�erentiate themselves by providing a unique brand experience to the buyers. Multisensory customer experiences, better customer reception, and better relationship management with customers are areas that can be facilitated better through brick and mortar channels. Stores with a physical presence play a huge role in brand building and will always remain relevant. Certain national retail chains have recognized the importance of multiple delivery models and have strategised accordingly.

From a mall owner’s perspective, the mall ownership model has a bearing in successful adoption of a new strategy. In the Indian market, most of the malls are strata sold to the investors. Multiple ownerships are resulting in improper mall management and low occupancy. International brands generally stay away from such malls. It is observed that it is di�cult to change formats and tenants in a strata sold model than in a developer owned mall. It is evident in India that malls owned by developers like DLF, Unitech, Phoenix, etc. are faring better than strata sold malls because of better mall management and control over tenant quality.

International scenarioColliers view

In China, landlords are considering more diversi�ed retail trades that are associated with “experience” such as food and beverages (F&B) and entertainment, in a bid to increase footfalls. In addition, more promotional activities such as art galleries and exhibitions are more acts of this kind. Some landlords are more willing to enter O2O, establishing webs for their properties, in the hope of undertaking more online promotions on behalf of tenants and owners themselves. These kind of owners include Wanda, COFCO and Yintai – all quite well known in China.

Hong KongMall operators in Hong Kong continue to utilize their designated home pages and internet platforms as an e�ective means to entice their customers especially the young generation to physical malls. We see a lot of collaboration between the mall operators and retailers in achieving this. For example, by teaming up with retailers, mall operators can issue e-coupons which are only available online. However, it can only be redeemed in designated shops within shopping malls. Events and joint promotional activities with retailers have been lined up throughout the year and all event information is available online. Pop star shows can draw crowds too. Special invitations can be obtained online but with limited seats available, tickets will be distributed by clicking onto certain internet links on the basis of “�rst click �rst serve”. Supermarkets can be slightly scaled back and more spaces in shopping malls can then be allocated to tenants engaged in F&B and restaurants since these cannot be replaced by any e-retailing. All the promotions and latest menu etc. will be made available online to facilitate visitors who want to dine out in shopping malls.

Shopping center owners in Australia have embraced online shopping and the use of technology to better connect the digital shopper with physical shopping malls. The focus is very much on the multi-channel experience. Shopping centers are becoming digital hubs, which connect the product, the retailer and the building. West�eld for example, is targeting online shoppers with its ‘Searchable Mall’, a website which helps shoppers �nd what they want in their local West�eld shopping center or allows customers to purchase goods online. Facilitating click-and-collect and online order returns within shopping centers is also a priority, and is being catered for in new center design and tenancy �t outs.

Key emerging andfuture trends

1. Logistics: The new retail for real estateThe expanding e-tail industry, and a key role in it for third-party delivery �rms, has triggered the USD 50 billion Indian logistics sector to about 80 percent more growth this year, making it the �fth best performing industry in India. The rapid emergence of e-tail has had an impact on industrial real estate. Logistics and distribution properties are now being established at a fast pace across the country in order to ensure pan India coverage. There has been a big shift in spending for facilities from showrooms to logistics facilities, as demand for logistics and storage facilities are on the rise. E-tail logistics models are di�erent from traditional storebased logistics models, and will require fresh investments for the set up.

Tie-ups by leading pure play brick and mortar retailers with e-tail giants in a market place arrangement will be an emerging trend in retail. This will be the way forward for those retailers who want to bene�t from the huge e-tailing growth pie, while maintaining their brick and mortar operational characteristics. This way, the retailers can o�oad many of the operational risks associated with online business to the pure play e-tail partner, while reducing IT investment costs. Jewelers in India, who have always played purely in the brick and mortar format, are now tying up with e-tail giants like Flipkart, ebay, and Amazon to generate more orders.

Multi-channel is making channel irrelevant. Retailers are increasingly recognising that there is no need for maintaining channel exclusivity. Rather, having a presence across channels will help them connect better with the customers. Brick and mortar retailers are expected to continue their signi�cance, while being supported by their own digital/online presence. The notion of channels will gradually erode and they will be integrated relentlessly.

2. Tie-ups between pure play e-tailers and retailers

3. Multi channel

4. Click and collectIn mature markets, click and collect is the fastest growing multi-channel retail format as it provides a simple solution to the “last mile” problem. It works well for all the players (customers, retailers, and landlords). For example, for the customer it o�ers the convenience of being able to collect goods at a time that suits them. For the retailer, it means passing on some of the cost of delivery to the shoppers, as well as the opportunity to up-sell when that customer is in store. For landlords, click and collect is a great footfall generator and can often mean the sale is attributed to that store, eventhough it is transacted online. However, click and collect also has logistical challenges for pure play retailers as they do not have a store network from which to o�er collections. To mitigate this problem, many retailers have made alliances with small convenience retailers or post o�ces to o�er collection points, or have set up collection lockers in shopping centers, on industrial estates or at

railway stations. For example, Amazon collection points are now a common feature in UK shopping centers, while in Germany, it is reported that 90 percent of the population live within 10 minutes of free lockers operated by Deutsche Post DHL.

In the US, click and collect is however not very popular because of the big di�erence in geography. The US is much larger and more sparsely populated than the UK, making distribution a challenge. Thus, super markets o�er very short delivery times to compete with online shopping. But in competition, e-commerce sites like Amazon o�er same day delivery service in around 10 cities and Ebay o�ers same day delivery service in San Francisco and New York in alliance with a number of big retailers.

ConclusionO�ine and online retail are likely to coexist in India in the future as well, and both will reinvent themselves to make shopping a more pleasurable experience. Omni-channel retail strategies will emerge more signi�cant as retailers recognize that customers want to shop at their will, in their way, and whenever they want to. However, brick and mortar will remain the cornerstone for retail.

Physical retail can be powerfully supplemented by digital retail and such will be the case in India in the near future. However, there are issues like poor supply chain infrastructure in the country that both retailers and e-tailers will have to overcome. Absence of clear e-commerce laws and lack of customer loyalty will be challenges that the e-tailers are likely to face moving forward.
