Core Viewpoint - Decathlon's recent price increases have led to a significant decline in consumer visits, prompting speculation about the potential sale of its Chinese operations, with estimates valuing the stake at approximately €1-1.5 billion (around ¥10 billion) [5][8][18]. Group 1: Price Increases and Consumer Behavior - Decathlon's products have seen substantial price hikes, such as a 20L backpack rising from ¥49.9 to ¥89.9 and a fleece jacket jumping from ¥249 to ¥499, leading to decreased consumer interest [8][9]. - The company's pricing strategy has been influenced by rising supply chain costs, including increased raw material prices and labor costs, which have pressured profit margins [9][10]. - The shift in consumer behavior is not solely due to price increases but also the emergence of competitive alternatives in the market, which have captured market share from Decathlon [9][10][12]. Group 2: Competitive Landscape - Domestic and international brands have increasingly encroached on Decathlon's market share, with alternatives like Taobao white-label products and brands such as Anta and Li Ning offering competitive pricing and appealing designs [10][11]. - The rise of mid-range and premium brands has further complicated Decathlon's position, as competitors like Lululemon and Camel have introduced products that resonate with urban consumers [11][12]. - The competitive pressure has forced Decathlon to consider a shift towards higher-end products as a strategy to recover profitability [12][18]. Group 3: Internal Challenges and Management Issues - Decathlon's long-standing low-margin business model has resulted in a net profit margin of only 5-6%, significantly lower than competitors like Nike and Adidas [9][12]. - Internal management practices, including a centralized decision-making structure, have led to inefficiencies and employee dissatisfaction, contributing to talent attrition [15][16]. - The company's reliance on a low-cost workforce has become unsustainable, with rising salaries in manufacturing impacting overall profitability [9][15].

Group 3: Challenges Faced by Supermarkets - Traditional supermarkets are facing significant challenges, including continuous losses and store closures, as seen with Yonghui Supermarket, which reported a cumulative loss of over 9.5 billion yuan from 2021 to 2024 [11][12][13]. - The transformation efforts are often met with difficulties, such as high operational costs and the need for skilled labor in food processing, which can hinder profitability [17][18]. - The restructuring of supply chains and the need for substantial investment in equipment and training pose additional challenges for supermarkets attempting to enhance their food offerings [17][18]. Group 4: Future Outlook - The ongoing transformation in the retail sector reflects a broader market trend, with traditional supermarkets needing to innovate or risk obsolescence [20][21]. - Despite the potential for growth in food-enhanced supermarkets, the path to success is fraught with challenges, including high costs, insufficient customer traffic, and the need for standardized products across locations [18][21]. - The retail landscape is expected to continue evolving, with a potential reshuffling of market players as companies adapt to changing consumer demands and competitive pressures [21].
