The Change of Consumer Buying Behavior towards Thailand Department Store Operations in a Digital Age

Author: zant worldpress

Over the last 20 years, Thailand department stores have progressed
quickly and have beaten local stores and dominated the Thai retail
market. In 2016, Thailand’s retail sector had a combined value of THB2.2
trillion (Modern Trade 40% and Traditional Trade 60%) which accounts
for 27.4% of GDP. The country has developed a positive reputation with
pro-investment policies, well-developed infrastructure and has become
commercial hub in Asia. Both multinational corporations and local retailers
are integrating into market due to the government opening the domestic
market to foreign investors and operators (Ninkitsaranont and
Sathapongpakdee 2016). On the contrary, thousands of major chain
stores in the United States such as Sears, J.C. Penney, and Macy’s have
closed down as the businesses have been hit by plunging sales and loss
of profitability to Amazon (Wahba 2016). The loss of market share to
Amazon signified the clear trends of consumers search and buy products
is influenced by social media and e-tailing platforms. The emergence of
disruptive technologies are transforming business model by having a
disruptive impact on the configuration of consumer buying a product from
the seller. This article aims to 1) explore the current situation and the
growth prospects of Thailand’s department store, 2) state the changing
needs of customers through their spending on new channel, 3) recognize
the major trends that will shape the future of the department store
industry, and 4) draw the challenges faced by the modern market growth.
Firms that know where the ‘disruption’ has taken place and understand
their customers desires will search for the underlying customer’s
motivation and start to leverage technology which involves the customer’s
experience, and focus on their differentiators in order to engage the
customers’ mind, thus expanding the store sales.
