★Cutbacks on daily necessities: Supermarket profits fall by 20% in June-August
As consumers become more frugal on daily necessities such as food, the performance of supermarkets and convenience stores is deteriorating. Major companies’ operating profits for the June-August 2024 period fell 19% from the same period last year, marking the second consecutive quarter of double-digit declines. Price hikes implemented by various companies have led to fewer customers and increased costs for attracting customers. The challenge is how to increase added value and stimulate demand. *Previous thread.

A 20% decrease from last year is crazy.
If it were a brigade, a 20% decrease would be described as devastating.

Since this summer, we’ve been experiencing a business downturn unlike anything we’ve seen in years (shouts of despair can be heard from the field).
I’ve heard about this from a variety of industries, but I wonder what triggered it.

There were signs of a trigger.
China is already using its power to cover up the collapse of its real estate bubble.
In the US, credit card balances are skyrocketing and loan companies are starting to raise interest rates.
I think everyone knows that Germany is in a recession, and nowhere in the world is there a booming economy.
Anyway, money is disappearing all over the world and consumer activity is shrinking.

The yen suddenly appreciated in August, so people may be refraining from buying.
Vendors are afraid of prices dropping, so they can’t keep stock.

In the past, even with inflation, banks would offer high interest rates, so people would save money. Now, the value of your salary just goes down.

It would be one thing if the weak yen meant industrial products could sell, but even food is being sold, so it’s all over.

Reducing the consumption tax is a no-no because it will lead to hoarding.

Chain restaurants and other affordable eateries are doing well, but supermarkets have gotten too cocky and raised their prices too much, so it’s time for a punishment.

Profits are declining because they’re sold at a low price. Just set the price so that you can make a profit.

Everything is so expensive at convenience stores that people avoid them and it’s no surprise that their profits are declining. I understand that they’re all about sales, but convenience stores are all about sales.
