Retail 2014/2015 – An Intensely Competitive
Environment
5© 2015 Manthan
A new competitive landscape has
emerged, forcing CEOs to focus on
and deal with increasing complexity
• “Consumer economics are weak
and are projected to remain so” –
price drives the core purchase
decisions
• “Channel fragmentation continues
as both non-traditional and
digital competitors evolve
retailing”
• “Retail sales are being driven by
increasingly non-productive
deals/promotions”
• “Both Retailers and Manufacturers
are struggling to find real
growth”
• “Digital technology is positioned
to transform the retail industry”

Flattened Spend”–the New Consumer Norm
6© 2015 Manthan
• We are in an “Every Dollar Counts Economy”
• Fifth year of an economic non-recovery
recovery – expect the same through 2020
• 54% of America now makes $30K or less per
year – “affordability is the new shopping lens”
• Disposable income and cost of living are the
core concerns of today’s shoppers
• Incomes have stagnated – average increases in
2013 = 2%; 2014 = 3%; 2015 = expected to be 3%
• Consumers have learned to live with less
– smaller baskets, smaller selection, smaller
trips and more channel diversity
