    JLL : 83% of retailers plan to open new stores over the next 12 months

    A recent survey by JLL found that 83% of international and local retailers have plans to open new stores in Hong Kong over the next 12 months, a significant jump from 62% as recorded a year ago.

    More retailers planned to expand as retail sales in the first half have increased noticeably and are expected to grow further.JLL surveyed 40 retailers and retail landlords in June and found that more than 90% of the respondents stated their retail sales in the first half of 2018 fared better than those in the previous year.

    They also envisioned the like-for-like sales will grow by more than 10% in the second half. The resilient retail sales have encouraged 83% of the retailers to have plans for more store openings in Hong Kong in the coming 12 months.

    Hong Kong’s retail sector has been taking a broad upturn after bottoming out late last year. The latest government figures showed that the value of total retail sales gained strong momentum for the first five months of 2018, surging by 13.7% year-on-year, with all categories recording positive growth.

    An visible increase in visitor arrivals particularly those from mainland China, and a robust wealth effect led by strength in the city’s stock and property markets, coupled with an improvement in the overall local consumer sentiment, all contributed to the solid performance of the retail sector.

    In May 2018, the value of total retail sales increased by 12.9% year-on-year to a provisional estimate of HK$40.5 billion. A breakdown of retail sales by category revealed that the value of sales of jewellery, watches and clocks, and valuable gifts continued to lead the sector’s recovery, posting an impressive growth of 23.8% year-on-year. This was followed by medicines and cosmetics at 18.7%. Department stores and supermarkets also saw higher commodity sales.

    James Assersohn, Director of Asia Pacific Retail at JLL, said: “There is a great deal of positivity in the market at the moment. Retailers from almost all sectors are seeing strong and sustained growth in their sales which will lead to them investing more into the market. The luxury sector is currently the biggest winner, led predominantly by the Mainland Chinese tourists, but we also see locals increase spending which provides a deeper and more sustainable growth trajectory for retail businesses here”.

    “While the resuming demand for luxury goods would propel further recovery, it is worth noting that changing consumption patterns and shopper profiles fueled by millennials and generation Z have also led to greater demand for mass and mid-market brands, serving as a significant boost to local spending. The presence of the affordable brands of the kind are growing in major shopping districts at a swift pace. They will remain one of the main sources of leasing demand this year and onwards” he continued.

    Terence Chan, Head of Retail at JLL in Hong Kong, added: “The number of inbound visitors has increased remarkably in recent months, which helped lift retail sales to a considerable extent. Retailers are set to look for retail spaces in the major four shopping districts for expansion. However, given that the bulk of leasing demand continues to be from retailers with lower rental budgets, we believe a v-shaped recovery in retail rents is unlikely happen in the short term. We expect the rents of high street shops and prime shopping centres to grow in the range of 0-5% for the full year.”

    Inside of Victoria’s secret HK Flagship.

    Hong Kong Victoria’s Secret flagship store opened in Causeway Bay last week.

    The spans four floors with a total retail space of more than 50,000 sqft.

    The store opened this week, though despite heavy pre-publicity, including painted trams and street art, the opening itself was a muted affair, more like a soft launch.

    Inside, parts of the store seem dark and a little cluttered, but others – like the Pink brand space which takes up a full floor, are brightly lit and clearly on target for its university-age customer profile.

    Tomorrow, Victoria’s Secret Angels Josephine Skriver and Martha Hunt will be in Hong Kong, appearing in-store from 6pm to 8pm to “meet and greet fans”.

    Features of the multi-story store include a dedicated zone for the brand’s Pink casual range of bras, panties, loungewear and beauty and a bra-fitting service.

    Early photos show parts of the store have a dark and cluttered look, especially the centrepiece staircase.

    Outside, the store features a mirror-glass facade with bright lighting in the brand’s signature pink hues and a large video display facing the Times Square showing the Victoria’s Secret Angels and the brand’s latest collections.

  • Nike to fill former Esprit flagship space

    Sportswear brand Nike will take over a 7000sqft shop in the Leighton Centre for a monthly rental of HK$1.5 million (US$190,000).

    The space formerly housed an Esprit flagship, with the local fast-fashion brand reportedly paying rent of HK$2 million (US$255,000). Esprit vacated the space, located in one of the world’s busiest and priciest shopping districts, at the end of June. Esprit’s departure comes at a time when many Hong Kong retailers are abandoning or renegotiating prime streetfront locations.

    The 26,000sqft Esprit flagship at Tsim Sha Tsui was also vacated earlier this year before being taken over by a shoe retailer.

    The company took a net loss of HK$954 million (US$121.5 million) in the second half of 2017. It is currently poised to close more than 40 European stores.

  • Hong Kong retailers continue expansion

    Hong Kong retailers continue expansion

    A vast majority Hong Kong retailers in a survey say they plan to open new stores during the next year, according to property company JLL.

    Albeit a small sample base of 40 retailers, 83 per cent of international and local retailers told JLL they will expand – a significant increase form the 62 per cent of a similar survey a year ago.

    “There is a great deal of positivity in the market at the moment,” said James Assersohn, director of Asia-Pacific retail at JLL. “Retailers from almost all sectors are seeing strong and sustained growth in their sales which will lead to them invest more into the market.”

    Hong Kong retail sales rose 13.7 per cent during the first five months of this year and there are no signs of the rebound slowing down. However, the rise is being driven by luxury goods and jewellery, with growth in more staple products like food and furniture in the mid-single digits.

    “The luxury sector is currently the biggest winner, led predominantly by the mainland Chinese tourists,” said Assersohn.

    Almost all of the retailers questioned by JLL said they had experienced an increase of sales during the first half of this year and predict they will continue to grow by more than 10 per cent in the second half.

  • City’super plan to open more stores in mainland

    City’super plan to open more stores in mainland

    Upmarket Hong Kong supermarket operator City’super says it is planning to expand on the mainland.

    Currently the company has four supermarkets in Hong Kong and five in Shanghai. It opened its first store in Times Square in Causeway Bay in 1996 and its first in Shanghai’s IFC Mall in Pudong in 2010.

    President Thomas Woo said that the company believes there is an opportunity to serve the increasing ranks of middle class Chinese consumers who are growing a taste for premium foods.

    The company will initially focus on the Yangtze River Delta outside Shanghai.

    Woo says mainlanders seem more ready to spend on items such as imported liquor than Hongkongers.

    “We felt that the potential on the mainland has yet to be tapped by City’super,” he said. “We don’t aim to expand across the mainland, but we are setting eyes on the affluent region of East China.

    “We felt that there is no wealth gap between mainland and Hong Kong shoppers. Chinese consumers’ attitude about life has become more exquisite as they pay more attention to food origins to ensure healthy eating.”

  • Xiaomi shares fall in Hong Kong trading debut as US-China trade war deter equity investors

    Xiaomi shares fall in Hong Kong trading debut as US-China trade war deter equity investors

    Xiaomi, the first company to raise capital under Hong Kong’s overhauled listing rules for pre-revenue start-ups or companies with multiple classes of stock, sputtered during its trading debut on the city’s exchange when investors spooked by the US-China trade war refrained from buying its shares.

    Shares of the Beijing-based company, offered a week ago at HK$17 each in what was once billed as the world’s biggest initial public offer, fell by as much as 5.9 per cent in an advancing market to HK$16, before recovering to end their first trading day at HK$16.80.

    “Investors are no longer that crazy about so-called new economy IPOs, as many of them have quickly fallen below their offer prices,” said Edmond Hui, chief executive for Bright Smart Securities.

    “It’s no longer a guarantee of making money.”

    The lacklustre debut was a blow for the world’s fourth-largest smartphone maker, which had taken a mere seven years to grow from a start-up to surpass 100 billion yuan (US$15 billion) in sales. Founded by serial entrepreneur Lei Jun in 2010, Xiaomi was the first blockbuster IPO under the new listing rules that Hong Kong’s securities regulator and stock market operator pushed through last year.

    “Xiaomi’s listing signals the Hong Kong market has entered a new phase,” said the city’s Financial Secretary Paul Chan Mo-po, speaking in Cantonese during a ceremony marking Xiaomi’s trading debut. “I believe [Hong Kong’s listing reform] will prompt more innovative technology companies to raise funds in Hong Kong, so our market can better serve the real economy.”

    The size of Xiaomi’s fundraising – originally aimed at US$10 billion – was trimmed by bad timing, coming after the US and Chinese governments fired the first salvoes of their trade war.

    Net proceeds from the IPO were HK$23.98 billion (US$3.1 billion), after deducting underwriting fees and other relevant expenses, Xiaomi said. The company priced its stock at the low end of a price range of between HK$17 and HK$22 each.

    That values the company, whose name is the Chinese phrase for millet, at US$54.3 billion, about half of the US$100 billion it had originally sought, which would’ve made Xiaomi the world’s largest IPO this year. Instead, that honour has gone to Siemens Healthineers, which raised US$5.17 billion in Frankfurt in March.

    “Although the macroeconomic conditions are far from ideal, we believe a great company can still rise to the challenge and distinguish itself,” Xiaomi’s founder and chief executive Lei Jun said in a brief speech at the start of trading. “From day one, innovation has been an integral part of Xiaomi’s DNA,” he said, adding that the listing would be “a brand new start for Xiaomi.”

    It plans to use 30 per cent of the proceeds for research and development, 30 per cent to expand and strengthen its capability into the internet of things business, 30 per cent for global expansion, and the remainder for working capital and other corporate purposes.

    Four of the five biggest tech IPOs in Hong Kong since September are now trading below their offer prices.

    Lei, who founded Xiaomi in 2010 and currently holds nearly one third of the company’s stock, has been presenting Xiaomi as an internet company rather than a hardware maker, saying it should be valued as hybrid of Apple and Tencent because it is “driven by innovation”.

    Companies billed as manufacturers, like tech giant Apple, tend to achieve much lower valuations than those categorised as internet firms, for example China’s Tencent.

    Investors were not the first to question Lei’s categorisation. In mid June, the company shelved a plan to issue Chinese depositary receipts (CDRs) in Shanghai after the market regulator demanded answers to 84 questions, including why Xiaomi positioned itself as an internet firm.

    The smartphone maker has tapped several Hong Kong and Chinese tycoons as investors, including Li Ka-shing of CK Hutchison, Pony Ma Huateng of Tencent and Jack Ma Yun, founder of Alibaba Group Holdings and owner of this newspaper.

    Xiaomi’s seven cornerstone investors have agreed to acquire US$548 million worth of shares with a six-month lock-up period, according to the prospectus.

    US chip maker Qualcomm has committed US$100 million, the only foreign company among the cornerstone investors. China Mobile, the country’s biggest telecom operator, will also invest US$100 million, while CICFH Entertainment, a state-backed industrial fund, will be the biggest cornerstone investor with a US$192 million stake.

    Capillus Announces Grand Opening of the First Capillus Store in Hong Kong

    Medical device manufacturer Capillus has opened its first store in Hong Kong.

    The firm, which specialises in treatments for hair loss, opened the Capillus store at Mira Place Mall in Tsim Sha Tsui, through its partnership with Yaniv Healthcare – which became the exclusive Capillus Hong Kong distributor last year. The company has traded in China since 2013.

    Capillus CEO Carlos Piña said “I believe our target customers are universal. Whether in Hong Kong or in the US… hair loss can be devastating psychologically. Our goal is to reach those for whom hair loss is a concern before it becomes an irreversible condition.

    “We are very proud of our commercial venture with Yaniv Healthcare and are looking forward to further expansion into the Chinese market through our partnership”, he said.
