RETAILING IN THE PHILIPPINES
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Improvement of the Country’s Economic Conditions Continues ToBenefit Retailing
The significant growth in the private sector, which includes many businesses operating under
retailing, continued to boost the country’s economy. In addition, remittances from overseas
Filipino workers (OFW), sustained growth of the business process outsourcing (BPO) industry,
and the lower inflation rate resulted in increased purchasing power that encouraged consumers
to buy more often than usual. Due to this, retailers, specifically major ones, decided to further
expand their outlets in order to answer the needs of a wider audience.
Grocery Retailers Continues To Dominate the Country’s RetailLandscape
While significant growth in terms of sales was evident in both grocery and non-grocery
retailing, grocery retailers continued to have a greater impact on the country’s retailing
landscape, primarily because it offers products which are essential to most consumers. The
continued growth of the channel further pushed retailers to develop their current product
portfolios in order to answer the growing and evolving needs of Filipino consumers regarding
food, beauty and personal care, and home care.
Major Retailers Acquire A Number of Small and Single-proprietyBusinesses
The review period witnessed the acquisition of smaller and single-propriety businesses
focusing on groceries, electronics and appliances, and home and garden by major retailers such
as SM Retail Inc, Robinsons Retail Group and Puregold Price Club Inc. This particular move
was carried out in order to minimise, if not eliminate competition with smaller players, especially
in areas where their presence is not yet felt. This is also a way of securing their place in the very
competitive retail landscape of the country.
Foreign Brands Continue To Penetrate the Local Retail Landscape
Because of the strong performance of the country’s economy, the Philippines has become
one of the bright spots within the Asia Pacific Region among foreign or global brands that are
looking for new and dynamic markets to tap into, which can help them grow and strengthen their
brands. Most of these foreign brands, mainly from modern grocery retailers and apparel and
footwear specialists, chose to partner with local distributors in order to take advantage of thelatter’s knowledge of the local retail scene and business networks.
Great Opportunity for Retailing To Prosper in the Coming Years IsPredicted
Retailing in the Philippines is expected to significantly grow alongside the continued
improvement in the economy over the forecast period. The increasing disposable income of
Filipinos will encourage further purchases of products within grocery and non-grocery
categories. The constant exposure to various media sources and overseas travel are also

expected to further increase sophistication of Filipinos, which will hasten the growth of local and
foreign retail brands already present.
KEY TRENDS AND DEVELOPMENTS
the Philippines’ Economy Continues To Perform Well Despite LowerGDP Figure Than Previous Year
Despite lower-than-expected GDP growth rates recorded during the first and second quarter
of 2015 compared to 2014, because of the sluggish pace of government spending, particularly
the decline in public construction, the country’s economy still managed to perform well. This was
attributed to the notable growth in the private sector, which includes many businesses operating
under retailing. Additionally, the National Economic and Development Authority (Neda) closely
monitored government agencies’ execution of programs to avoid any untoward incidents relating
to budget spending and timeliness of programs that may weaken business sectors’ confidence
in the country’s economy.
The inflation rate in 2015 was also dropped due to lower electricity and fuel costs. This
resulted in decreasing business costs, which benefited consumers as they were offered more
affordable goods and services. The continued rise in remittances from overseas Filipino workers
(OFW) and sustained growth of the business process outsourcing (BPO) industry also resulted
in increased purchasing power among consumers, which drove a number of foreign retailers to
do business in the Philippines.
These positive developments encouraged Filipinos to spend more than ever. Apart from
purchasing basic necessities such as food and clothing, they were also able to splurge on other
items beyond the essentials such as travel, bags, jewellery and gadgets among others.
Retailers, on the other hand, took advantage of the situation by expanding existing brands,
acquiring new brands, and venturing into new endeavours to capture latent markets. Some
retailers that were unable to expand enhanced their current businesses by offering new andexciting products and services that reinforced customers’ loyalty to their brands.
Outlook
In spite of the upcoming transition that will occur after the 2016 presidential elections, the
improvement of the economy is expected to continue over the forecast period. This is due to
the current administration’s efforts that enhanced the Philippines’ standing versus other
countries in the region. Moreover, OFW remittances along with the anticipated rapid growth of
the BPO industry focusing on information technology will continue to help fuel the economy.
Alongside the expected economic growth will be consumers’ increased spending capacity that
will make retailing in the Philippines livelier than ever. The middle class will continue to
expand in size and more consumers will have the capacity to spend on products and services
that are beyond their needs. In addition, retailers, especially the major ones, will continue toexpand their businesses to pursue long-term ambitions. The tight competition that is expected
due to the ASEAN Integration will result in more notable innovations, quality products and
increased productivity as it will allow businesses to compete head on with other players within
the region.
Attention will also be focused on building and developing business in provinces and other
areas within Metro Manila. Many major and community shopping centres will be built, which
will increase the demand for a wider set of products and services that will heighten consumer
consumption in the country. Retailers offering food, apparel and electronics products will

experience notable growth, as these are the categories that most Filipinos will continue to
spend money on.
Major Retailers Make More Acquisitions of Smaller Brands To Minimise
Competition and Achieve Dominance2015 witnessed the acquisition of smaller and single-propriety businesses by major retailers
such as SM Retail Inc, Robinsons Retail Group and Puregold Price Club Inc. This particular
move was believed to be one of their strategies to minimise, if not eliminate, competition with
smaller players, especially those in provinces where their presence was not particularly
palpable. This was also seen as their way to gain dominance in the categories in which they
operate.
SM Retail Inc acquired the pioneer in the grocery business, Cherry Foodarama in June 2015.
Although it only has several outlets, all of which are located in Metro Manila, it was known to
have a strong following considering that it began operating during the 1950s. Meanwhile,
Puregold was doing well in terms of acquisitions as it absorbed a number of smaller
supermarkets, namely BudgetLane, Parco, Unilane, and Sioland, which are situated in various
locations within Luzon. Unlike SM Retail Inc and Puregold Price Club Inc, Robinsons Retail
Group acquired several brands outside of grocery retailers. 2014 marked its acquisition of A.M.
Builders’ Depot, which is a Visayan-based builders’ hardware chain with 17 outlets. It also
acquired Saver’s Appliance Depot, which has 24 outlets in several North Luzon provinces.
Outlook
More acquisitions and partnerships are expected between major retailers and small
businesses, especially within grocery retailers over the forecast period. These acquisitions will
help them increase their share and lessen the competition with smaller players that perform
well in the provinces or areas that they have limited reach or have not yet penetrated. This will
result in the dominance of companies such as SM Retail Inc., Robinsons Retail Group and
Puregold Price Club Inc, within the Philippines’ retail landscape. However, this will not discourage small businesses from entering into the competition,
considering that there are still a number of untapped markets in the Philippines that major
retailers have not yet reached. As the country is composed of several provinces, which have
their own language and way of life, small businesses, which are usually operated by locals,
will continue to thrive by leveraging on their knowledge of the people and the locality they are
serving.
the Number of Foreign Brands Continues To Rise Due To the GrowingNeeds and Interests of Filipino Consumers
Due to the economy’s strong performance, the Philippines has become one of the bright spots
within the Asia Pacific Region. Moreover, the purchasing power of consumers also increased
significantly. This resulted in the influx of foreign brands; especially from Europe and America
that are looking for new and dynamic markets to tap into, which can help them grow and
strengthen their brands.
These foreign brands, mainly from modern grocery retailers, and apparel and footwear
specialist retailers partnered with local distributors in order to take advantage of the latter’s
knowledge of the local retail scene and business networks. Puregold Price Club rolled out its
launch of Lawson from Japan to compete with convenience store giants such as 7-Eleven and
Ministop. Mid-range and upscale apparel and footwear brands that were launched in 2014 and
2015 were H&M, Old Navy and Ralph Lauren among others.

Outlook
Over the forecast period, competition between local and foreign brands will tighten, as many
foreign brands will enter the Philippines’ retail scene due to the booming economy. Most of
these retailers are expected to enter the competition by collaborating with local distributors as
a way to ease their entry, while several will prefer to manage their enterprises on their own tohave total control of the business. Foreign brands operating under other categories such as
health and beauty will also experience an increase in numbers due to Filipinos’ growing
interest in health, nutrition and wellness and beauty.
In order to keep up with the competition, local brands, especially those that are independently
managed, will continue to offer new and exciting items and develop dynamic marketing
strategies to protect their share of the market and gain a new following.
OPERATING ENVIRONMENT
Informal Retailing
While the data about informal retailing remains underdeveloped, it continues to increase, as
there is no existing regulation that restricts people from engaging in it. Informal grocery
retailing in the form of sari-sari stores is one that is easy to set up, and therefore, anyone with
even the smallest amount of capital can start one in the comfort of their own home. Despite
the growing economy, many Filipinos still live on a day-to-day basis due to low incomes. They
prefer to buy daily necessities from sari-sari stores that are located within their neighbourhood
because going to the grocery store would require them to spend on transportation. Moreover,
sari-sari stores allow purchases on credit.
Informal non-grocery retailers also exist in the form of media products stores and electronics
and appliance retailers. These stores are often located in nearby public markets or community
shopping centres often sell new and second-hand gadgets. In addition, they also sell mobile
phones and tablet accessories, and provide repair services at a cheaper cost compared tomajor stores and repair centres located in major shopping centres or establishments. Many
Filipinos, especially those from the low-income segment, continued to patronise them as they
continued to provide products and services that they can afford.
There are also a number of people engaged in selling pirated CDs and DVDs at very
affordable prices, which also target low-income consumers who cannot afford to visit cinemas
or buy original CDs and DVDs. However, they are slowly decreasing in number as many
people are gaining access to the internet via computer shops or their own portable internet
devices that allow them to download or stream films, television series and music. The
government’s anti-piracy campaign also helped to discourage people to enter this kind of
business.
The Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) continued implementing Regional Memorandum
Circular No. 7 (RMC-07) which they released last February of 2014. The memorandum
ordered all marginal income earners (MIE) including sari-sari stores, carinderia owners and
tricycle drivers to pay income tax from a portion of their income to improve the overall tax
collection in the country. This move was considered by small business owners as worrisome
because it reduces the meagre income that they earn, which they need to support the
business and the needs of their families.

Opening Hours
Retailers in the Philippines generally follow standard opening hours. However, minimal
variations can be seen depending on the location of the retail store. Stores located in
shopping centres follow their operating hours, which tend to be 10.00-21.00hrs. Operating
hours are extended until 22.00hrs during Fridays, Saturdays and during mall-wide sales,
accommodate the expected large number of consumers who will visit the shopping centre.
On the other hand, stores that operate outside of shopping centres usually open at 8.00 or
9.00hrs and close at 20.00 or 21.00hrs.
Meanwhile, sari-sari stores, which are situated within the vicinity of the owner’s home, have
longer operating hours. They usually open between 6.00-8.00hrs and close between 21.00-
24.00hrs.
Retailers open even on non-working holidays except those with particular religious
importance. Being a predominantly Catholic country, the Philippines observes holidays such
as Holy Week, where retailers generally close towards the latter half of the week. On other
holidays like Christmas for example, retailers usually open but with shorter operating hours to
allow their employees to celebrate the occasion with their families. 24-hour opening remains limited mostly to convenience stores, with some
chemists/pharmacies and drugstores/parapharmacies choosing to venture into this as well.
Mercury Drug, which is the leading drugstore in the Philippines, opened some of its branches
on a 24-hour basis. It is likely that these operating conditions will only be accommodated by
these retail channels over the forecast period.

Physical Retail Landscape
Many Filipinos find it easy to shop for grocery and non-grocery items due to the proliferation
of major shopping centres and other standalone retail outlets in Metro Manila and other key
cities in the country. While retail giants’ presence in provincial an d rural areas remains limited,
community shopping centres and smaller retail businesses established by locals continue toanswer consumers’ demand for products and services.
Most of these shopping centres and standalone retail outlets are situated in city centres that
people from various locations can easily access via private and public transportation like
tricycle or jeepney. Some stand-alone retail outlets in Metro Manila are even located in highly
populated barangays or neighbourhoods that people can access via foot.
Since there still remain a number of untapped markets, major retailers like SM and Robinsons
focus on expanding in the provinces to provide consumers with a more satisfying retail
experience. Some of them are also venturing into retail formats outside of their existing
portfolios to accelerate the growth of their business and reach out to more consumers. These

endeavours are made possible as most municipalities in the country welcome the idea of
building shopping centres and other business establishments as it translates to more
opportunities and income for their locality. Furthermore, the presence of shopping centres in
an area hastens the pace of urbanisation that most municipalities want to attain. Retail spaces
are also not difficult to attain since there remains to a vast land reserve, especially in theprovinces.
Shopping centres, which are usually standalone, serve as a one-stop shop offering all the
items and services that consumers need, which makes them the primary destination for
shopping. Hypermarkets also attracts a number of consumers due to its extensive product
offering which covers grocery and non-grocery items.
While retailers catering to various income levels can be found in shopping centres such SM
and Robinsons, luxury retailers are usually found in shopping centres within business districts
in large cities like Metro Manila. Some shopping centres that house luxury retailers include
Shangri-La Mall in Mandaluyong City, Greenbelt in Makati City and Bonifacio Global City in
Taguig.
Cash and Carry
Cash and carry remained negligible in the Philippines’ retail landscape. Due to tough
competition, the then Pilipinas Makro had been converted into SM Hypermarket outlets by SM
Retail Inc. No new cash and carry outlets were launched within the review period.
For Pilipinas Makro, the brand initially began with a membership policy, but in later years
shifted towards the model of discounters to attract more consumers.
The owners of small businesses such as sari-sari stores continued to have many options
beyond cash and carry for their business’ needs. Retailers, particularly the major ones
operating supermarkets and hypermarkets, continued to increase in number making it difficult
for other retail formats to enter into the competition. A number of smaller supermarkets also
attracted consumers as they also offer a variety of goods at very affordable prices.
Seasonality
Christmas
Date: 25 December.
Shopping season: September-December.
Primary products bought: Fresh food for family meals, Christmas-themed apparel and
homeware, and individual gifts for all ages (with an emphasis on toys, games and apparel for
children).
Retailer strategy: Christmas season in the Philippines starts in September and ends in
January. The months prior to the occasion is brimming with mall-wide sales, which attract
many consumers because most of the retail stores offer discounts of up to 50%. The frequent
use of sales that usually last for three days became more widespread over the review period.
Consumers of all ages are targeted; however, children are often the focus when shopping, as
they are the ones who are given the most gifts during this occasion.
Back to School
Date: First or second week of June.
Shopping season: Mid-April to mid-June.
Primary products bought: School supplies and personal accessories and apparel for children
and young adults.

Retailer strategy: Most retailers usually offer sales or discounts as early as mid-April to mid-
June on items such as school supplies, apparel, bags and shoes. Some shopping centres
implement mall-wide sales during this period to increase footfall and encourage consumers to
buy other items beyond school supplies.
Payments and Delivery
The majority of Filipino consumers still prefer to use cash in their day-to-day purchases and
transactions as there is still a large percentage of the population that is unbanked or
underbanked. However, despite the high-level dependency on cash of most consumers,
cashless transactions are starting to record notable growth, as more Filipinos now understand
the value of using financial cards versus cash. The efficiency and convenience are much
appreciated as it helps them to attain a less complicated and convenient lifestyle. Moreover,
the rewards that accompany using cards can never be matched when they use cash for
payments.
Although mobile payments like Charge2Phone by Smart Money Inc., Citi Philippines and Visa
are already available, it has yet to pick up. Most consumers who are aware of variouspayment methods prefer to use their cards when transacting and purchasing because of the
attractive rewards or benefits that they receive from banks and issuers.
The shipping infrastructure in the Philippines is dominated by private companies such as LBC,
2GO, Air21 and JRS Express. Most people prefer them, as their branches are more
accessible as they can be found in most shopping centres or other public places. Like
PHLPost, these private courier services also offer a reliable and fast delivery service within
the country.
The primary method of payment preferred by most when doing home or online shopping is
still cash on delivery (COD) as there are still a number of Filipinos that do not have a credit
card. Some also remain sceptical about online payments as it may expose them to card-
related fraud. Cash on delivery (COD) payment is expected to decline in the coming years as
more and more consumers now welcome the use of credit cards and other financial cards onmost of their purchases whether in-store or online.
Emerging Business Models
The digital pop-up store launched by Zalora is one of the new business models that gained
attention in 2015. Fanatics of online shopping were especially elated as they get to visit an
actual store of Zalora where they can personally check and fit the items prior to purchase.
Although it is seen as an effective marketing tool to promote online shopping, the digital pop-
up store is believed to have limited potential. The length of operation, which lasts for
approximately three months per location, may not be enough to generate a decent number of
new customers and significantly increase sales. Moreover, the stores are located in high-class
shopping centres that are accessible only to a small proportion of affluent consumers. Beinglocated in shopping centres also exposes the pop-up stores to competition from other brands,
especially those that offer a wider selection of fashionable goods or items.
