Stores 2008 Global Powers of Retailing - (Page 31) 2008 global powers of retailing jewelry, auto parts, and office supplies) are also on the rise, with 88 in 2006, compared with 84 in 2005 and 80 in 2004. Although the number of Top 250 retailers operating foodrelated formats did not drop off in 2006, the mix of formats continues to evolve. More retailers operated hypermarkets/ supercenters/superstores and hard discount formats, while fewer operated supermarkets and free-standing drug stores. Fashion goods retailers (apparel, footwear, jewelry, accessories and home textiles) are only about half the size of the typical Top 250 retailer, with sales of $6.8 billion, on average. As a group, retailers of fashion goods have grown more slowly over the past five years than retailers in the other three product groups, dragged down by relatively weak department store results compared with the specialty stores. However, sales growth rebounded in 2006, particularly within the department store sector. While slower-growing, the fashion goods sector enjoyed considerably above-average returns, with net profits averaging 5.2% of sales in 2006. Hardlines & leisure goods retailers have the most global store networks. The average company in this product sector operated in 8.4 countries in 2006, compared with 6.2 for the Top 250 as a whole. International expansion helped drive sales growth for this sector to an industry-leading 14.5% compounded annually from 2001-06. Retailers considered “diversified” are those where none of the other three product categories accounted for at least 50% of total sales volume in 2006. With a broad product offer encompassing food, apparel, homegoods and other general merchandise — and often with a range of retail formats from supermarkets to department stores to specialty stores — these companies tend to be large. Diversification appears to have paid off in terms of strong growth and good profit margins.
