Philippine Retail Market Analysis
The retail sector in the Philippines has been facing challenging times in the study period, which got worsened due to the sudden COVID-19 pandemic. The majority of forms of physical retail, including supermarkets and convenience stores, hypermarkets, specialty stores, department stores, and other small and medium store owners around the country, are facing challenges owing to the lockdown and physical distancing measures. Due to the fear of contamination, many customers temporarily stopped visiting the stores.
However, though customers were welcome into the stores, factors such as the limited number of people in-store capacity and frequent/regular disinfection have added unexpected costs to the retailers, restricting the profits. The increased labor demand is another factor that is challenging the retailers to be active in the market. The ban on large gatherings and social events has a huge impact on occasional and seasonal sales, which are a large part of the retailing in the country. The apparel segment was affected greatly in 2020, especially the branded and luxury players in the market who are active in apparel and footwear due to the low demand for the products.

During Q2 2020, the total visits were up to 24% when compared to the same time the previous year, which showed a great shift in customer preferences.
