    Top 10 Growing Countries Based On Sales Of The Quarter Ended On August 31,2018

    This table presents the ranking of top 10 countries which have grown the most in terms of Sales during the Q3 of 2018 . Iceland surprises the list with Rank 1 with a growth rate of 362% (however it has only 2 stores)  followed by New Zealand with 106%. The number of stores as on Aug 31,2018 for both the countries were 2 and 4 respectively and the sale/store were USD 3.30 million and 1.93 Million respectively. The highest sale/store was found in Chile which had USD 5.28 Million sale per store with 8 stores only . Chile is growing at 22% . There are two countries from South East Asia in the list – India and China . For Q3 , India grew at a rate of 49% with 34 stores in hand and the total sales for Q3 was USD 47.08 million ( USD 1.38 million / Store) however China , which has 522 stores as on August 31 , managed to draw sales of USD 0.68 million per store.

    If we compare the sales figures of nine months , India marked the growth rate of 29% and the per store sales were then USD 3.64 million . The per store/month sales comes to about $0.4 million for India against China’s $0.23 million . Its growth rate is the highest if we consider a reasonable number of stores (ie about 25) . But we need to consider that China is growing at a bigger base of over 500 stores and hence its growth rate of 21% is also appreciable.

  • Trend Area At 3rd Denimsandjeans Vietnam Show

    Trend Area At 3rd Denimsandjeans Vietnam Show

    Vietnam has become one of the favorite destinations for the sourcing heads now and the recent events including the CPTPP treaty, upcoming EVFTA treaty and the increased compliance pressure on Chinese companies has brought the country back into focus. Denim is one of the key growth area for the industry as the production and exports increase over the last couple of years.
    . Amidst all, the 3rd season of Denimsandjeans Vietnam  , scheduled for June 27 & 28 at Ho Chi Minh City,  has been attracting the attention of apparel retailers, brands and factories, especially from EU and US regions.

    The Theme – ROCK N ROLL

    ROCK N ROLL is bringing into focus the important place that denim occupies in the rock and roll history. Denim and rebel music have had a long-standing relationship that goes all the way back to the days of Elvis Presley, James Dean, the Beatles, Rolling Stones and other names around the 60s. Basically evolving from American origins, the Rock n Roll developed sub cultures in UK and several styles started becoming synonymous with it.

    The rock n roll looks and its effect on denim can be seen in resurgence with skinny jeans for men and dark and grunge denims, leather combinations and more! This show will be a small tribute to the classic era of Rock N Roll Fashion and their pioneers including Elvis Presley & James Dean etc.

    “Buyers from US and especially from EU are showing keen interest in Vietnam in anticipation of EVFTA and our show enables them to find all the international and domestic suppliers at one place and therefore we are pretty much sure about its success and initial trends of buyers’ registrations for 3rd edition has strengthened my belief” said Mr. Sandeep Agarwal

    TREND ZONE

    The 3rd edition of Denimsandjeans Vietnam also brings TREND AREA – where latest innovations in the denim industry are displayed . Keeping in view the latest trends, we are coming out with the following trend area categories which will bring into focus some our theme as well as some key trends globally.

    1. All Denim Apparels

    It is to be seen that the imports of all denim apparels into EU from Pakistan for the consective period from 2014 to 2017 saw an increasing trend and the same trend can also be seen in the imports of men’s jeans and women’s jeans for the period from 2014 to 2017. The imports of all denim apparels for the year 2014 was about 86 million pcs with the average price of euro 6.64 per pc, which saw an increase of  about 22% till 2017 to reach a level of 106 million pcs. Most relevant thing to see is that this has happened with a continuous increase in average prices of jeans increasing over 10% in 4 years to reach USD 7.36 per piece. It reflects that Pakistan is moving up the value chain.

However, when we see further down, we find that growth in exports of women jeans is not so high at about 15% in three years . Pakistan’s exports of jeans are clearly biased towards men’s jeans production where average prices are also higher.Men’s jeans were priced at about USD 7.55 per piece whereas women jeans were about USD 7 per piece.

  • H&M Loses Some Steam In Q1 2018

    H&M Loses Some Steam In Q1 2018

    Hennes & Mauritz AB (H&M) is a Swedish multinational clothing-retail company known for its fast-fashion clothing for men, women, teenagers and children. H&M and its associated companies operate in 62 countries with over 4,500 stores and as of 2015 employed around 132,000 people. It is the second-largest global clothing retailer, just behind Spain-based Inditex (parent company of Zara). The company has a significant on-line presence, with on-line shopping available in 33 countries.

    H&M has not really performed well in the first quarter of 2018 with over 2% fall in revenues and Karl-Johan Persson ,CEO , was forthcoming in accepting the same.

    “The rapid transformation of the fashion retail sector continues. As communicated previously, the start of the year has been tough. 2018 is a transitional year for the H&M group, as we accelerate our transformation so that we can take advantage of the opportunities generated by rapid digitalisation. Weak sales in the fourth quarter, partly caused by imbalances in the assortment for the H&M brand, resulted in the need for substantial clearance sales in the first quarter. The high level of clearance sales combined with unusually cold winter weather had a negative impact on the sales of the spring garments. In the first quarter the H&M group’s sales were unchanged in local currencies. Many of our ongoing initiatives are giving good indications and results, even though they have not yet been implemented at a large enough scale to have a decisive effect on the overall results. The weak sales development combined with substantial markdowns had a significant negative impact on results in the first quarter.

    1. Sales In Top Ten Market: Countrywise

    The shares of almost all markets in H&M sales list showed some decline and USA was the highest among them losing over 10% compared to Q1 2017 sales. The table below shows the sales of H&M for  different countries  for the first quarter of 2017 and 2018, Germany contributes the largest share of about usd 1,010 million for the first quarter of 2017 and with a change of –3% the sales went down to about usd 976 million in first quarter of 2018. The positive change in sales of H&M was seen only in the countries like Spain, Netherlands, Denmark, and Others, where the change was 5%, 2%, 4%, 3%, respectively.

    On the whole, H&M is expanding still but its rate of growth has gone down . It needs to create new ways to take up the digitilization challenge which is chipping away its sales and though it has already done that by opening online stores, it remains to be seen how they perform. Some of the new ones, like in India, have taken off quite well !
