Recent highlights of the retail chain operators (Press release from the “Top 100 retail chain operators, 2009” of the China Chain Store & Franchise Association)

1. Top 100 retailers accounted for around one-tenth of total market share in 2009;

sales growth was the slowest in a decade

Every year the China Chain Store and Franchise Association (CCFA) released the “the top 100 retail chain operators”

(the Top 100s) in March. According to the CCFA, the Top 100s achieved total sales revenue of 1,360 billion yuan, up by

13.5% yoy in 2009; it was the slowest since records by the CCFA began in 1999.

According to the National Bureau of Statistics, total retail sales of consumer goods reached 12,534.3 billion yuan in 2009,

up nominally by 15.5% yoy. The real growth was 16.9% yoy, 2.1 ppt. higher than that in 2008. Growth of total retail sales

of consumer goods was faster than that of the Top 100s in 2009; however, it should be noted that automobile, furniture,

and building and decoration materials demonstrated the most impressive growth among all retail sales categories in

2009; sales grew by 32.3%, 35.5% and 26.6% respectively. Meanwhile, sales of grain was up only by 13%; and sales of

meat, poultry and eggs grew only by 8.3%. Taking the fact that consumer staples have a big proportion of goods sold by

the Top 100s into account, the Top 100s continued to outperform industry counterparts in 2009.

In 2009, the total sales revenue of the Top 100s accounted for 10.9% of the total retail sales of consumer goods. Share

of sales of the Top 100s in total retail sales of consumer goods in China slightly declined and China’s retail landscape

remains highly fragmented.

The total number of stores of the Top 100s in 2009 was 137,000, rising by 18.9% yoy. Retailers generally remained

cautious in respective capital expenditure in 2009.

Exhibit 1 demonstrates the Top 10 retail chain operators in China in 2009. Suning Appliances Co. Ltd overtook Gome

Electrical Appliance Group to top the list in 2009. Gome came in second and was followed by the Bailian Group, the

Dashang Group and the China Resources Vanguard Co. Ltd.

2. Foreign retailers achieved more impressive performance

According to the CCFA, there were 20 foreign retailers among the Top 100s in 2009. In 2009, growth rates of the foreign

retailers among the Top 100s in terms of sales and number of stores were 20.4% yoy and 15.7% yoy respectively,

improving from 17.6% yoy and 13.1% yoy in 2008. Besides, the top foreign retailers achieved more remarkable

same-store-sales in 2009 than their domestic counterparts. In 2009, Taiwan-based RT-Mart replaced Carrefour to

become the largest foreign retailer in China; it ranked sixth in the Top 100s.

Foreign retailers tend to adopt a more focused approach in their operations in China. For instance, TESCO, Carrefour

and Wal-Mart, operate mostly hypermarkets in China; and 7-Eleven focus on convenience stores businesses. According

to the CCFA, most of the foreign retailers among the Top 100s focused on the hypermarket format. On the other hand, a

large number of domestic retailers among the Top 100s, such as Dalian Dashang Group Co., Ltd., Wuhan Zhongbai

Group Co., Ltd., Wuhan Wushang Group Co., Ltd. and the Bailian Group Co., Ltd., adopt multi-format business

operations - many operate a variety of retail formats such as supermarkets, department stores, specialty stores and

convenience stores, etc. Besides, it is not uncommon to find domestic retailers engage in other business activities in

China such as hospitality and catering, trading, logistics and real estate businesses.
