Food Retail Stores in Hong Kong Summary – August 2013
HOW TO GET IN
The key to getting in is talking to
one of four types of people:
Y
ou only have to be in Hong
Kong for about a week to
realize two things. Firstly,
products are pretty expensive
compared to the rest of the world
and secondly, there seems to be only
two main supermarkets: ParknShop
and Wellcome. Th duopoly has more
than 80% of the Hong Kong retail
market share and getting your
products into any of them is not an
easy task, but it’s doable.
Don’t expect to make millions overnight. The
set up costs will eat into your revenue and it
may be a while before you start to reap pure
profits. Expect that and you’ll be pleasantly
surprised if the contrary happens.
THE RETAIL MARKET SPACE
The table on the next page gives
you an overview of the market
space as it stood in August 2013.
Little has changed since then,
other than a few more stores being
added by each supermarket chain.
