More Retailers Will Go Bankrupt In 2019.

According to a value investor, there will be more in the US in 2019.

Going to first bankruptcy or going through two bankruptcies.

After observing the sales situation of holidays, the investor said that some retailers told him that business would be even worse in the future.

No matter what the size of the retailer is, they will be in trouble.

Another retail investor said he had seen more than a dozen retailers in the past few months, and they wanted to seize the opportunity of the holiday season to get as much profit as possible, so 2018 was busier than ever.

All along, people regard the electricity supplier as the first enemy to block the development of the entity store.

It is true that retailers have indicated that the growth of electricity providers has made up for the loss of physical stores to a certain extent.

But the investor believes that the shop should not let the electricity supplier back to the pot. The problem is that the ability of the entity store to attract passers-by has dropped.

"The profitability of electronic business is not as good as that of physical stores. Consumers like to buy products of specific categories directly, rather than browsing all web pages.

With the promotion of Internet promotion and free shipping, this increases the profitability of the electricity supplier. "

He said.

Fitch Ratings, the world's three largest rating agency, released a report in 12, which lists 9 most popular loans and debt retailers.

Neiman Marcus, a high-end retailer, is the largest debt company, with about 2 billion 800 million dollars in loans and 1 billion 800 million dollars in outstanding bonds.

The rest included Toms footwear industry, brand management company Iconix, Cowboy brand NYDJ Apparel, women's wear chain store Charlotte Russe and so on.

According to the world clothing and shoe net, nearly half of the 46 retailers who have gone bankrupt in the United States have settled through liquidation since 2003.

However, in 2018, bankrupt America.

The number of retailers has decreased.

By comparison, more worried is British retailers.

In recent months, Europe has aroused concern about the future economic development of Britain.

Many international companies have moved their European headquarters away from London, and local retailers are in a dilemma.

Apart from Europe, the overall income level of the British has not increased significantly.

Consumers are paying back debts accumulated in previous years. They are waiting for businesses to offer attractive enough discounts as wages keep pace with inflation.

Like British retailers, they generally lack confidence in the market.

According to the global

Research group GfK data showed that UK consumer confidence dropped to its lowest level in 5 years in December 2018, due to rising inflation and deallocation.

Retailers are struggling to cope with rising operating costs due to weak pounds, rising minimum wages and discounts.

At the same time, they have to bear more and more heavy rental and business tax. In December 2018, the British government promulgated an "environmental tax".

Let the entity shop jealous of the electricity supplier is also not very good.

In December 2018, we reported the rapid development of the British electricity supplier Asos.

Because of poor sales in November, investors' confidence has dropped, and other electricity providers have also been caught.

Asos closed down 38% in December 17th.

The price of German fashion Zalando and British fashion electronics Farfetch declined by 13.3% and 12% respectively.

Asos predicts that the performance in December will not be optimistic, and the future situation is still grim. Therefore, the 2019 full fiscal year's revenue forecast will be reduced from 20%-25% to 15%.

Asos has no choice but to offer discount activities to maintain competitiveness.

Many brands also joined discount teams during the Christmas season, such as Ralph Lauren, Mango, Kurt Geiger, Boden and Cos.

This directly led to a 3.1% decline in sales in the UK in 2018 compared with last year.

Discount is not the fundamental way to solve the problem. If retailers rely on discounts for a long time, their revenues will fall into a vicious circle.

"The retail industry in the first few months of 2019 will not be stronger unless retailers are making significant changes to basic services," said Diane Wehrle, Springboard's insight director.

Therefore, from another perspective, short-term shocks may urge retailers to make changes, which will benefit their long-term development.

Fewer and more sophisticated retail stores will continue to emerge. It may be better to change ideas.

New West End Company CEO Jace Tyrrell says many brands have begun to promote retail businesses around Mayfair, Soho and Regent Street, Niu Jinhe.

The west end of London is the most attractive retail center in the UK. It is estimated that by 2023, the new Elizabeth railway will bring an increase of 4 billion pounds.

Oxford Street will also receive an investment of 150 million pounds to increase sidewalks and improve public areas.

Some luxury brands such as Stella McCartney, Ala a, Givenchy, Cartier, Pomellato and Alexander McQueen have increased the investment of Mayfair shops in the past year.

So the retail performance of these areas is opposite to that of the weak retail trend. About 15% of the shops have entered the growth rate, with an average sales volume of 50 million pounds per day. The high-end retail department store Selfridges has sold more than 4 million pounds in the first few hours of December 26th.

Tyrrell also revealed that the western district plans to mix shops, experience spaces, galleries and non direct retail outlets for community development.

For example, in the summer of 2019, Microsoft will move into Oxford square, which will provide a combination of retail and experience, seminars and training.

"Although the retail industry in the next two years will be difficult, it is a time for retailers to adapt to social changes."
