< p > the Ministry of Commerce's typical a href= "http://sjfzxm.com/news/index_c.asp" > retail enterprise < /a > industry data. In 2012, the national retail business a href= "http://sjfzxm.com/news/index_c.asp" > profit < /a > only increased by 3.6% compared to the same period last year, much lower than the sales growth, gross profit margin was 15.6%, down 0.9% compared with the same period last year, the flat effect was 13855 yuan per square meter per year, down 0.5% compared with the same period last year, and nearly 40% of the profits of the first half of the year fell.

At the fifteenth China chain industry conference, Wang Desheng, deputy director of the Department of circulation development of the Ministry of Commerce, said that in recent years, the high cost of retail business and the challenge of new business models such as e-commerce have made it imperative to innovate the business model and achieve sustainable development.

The typical survey data of the Ministry of Commerce (P) showed that the average cost of retail businesses rose by 8.3% in 2012, of which rent and labor costs were the main factors driving the increase in fees. The average rent of the top 100 companies rose by 21% and the labor cost rose by 20.5%.

At the same time, after nearly thirty years of rapid development, China's consumer market has now bid farewell to the annual growth rate of nearly 20% of the high growth period.

Data show that in the first three quarters of this year, the total retail sales of social consumer goods amounted to 168817 billion yuan, up 11.3% over the same period last year, and entered a new stage of steady growth.

In the past few years, some policies to stimulate consumption have basically withdrawn, and the consumption growth mode supported by financial subsidies can not be sustained in the long run.

< p > Wang Desheng said that today's retail industry is encountering a strong challenge from the new business model. The rapid development of e-commerce and the changes in consumption concepts and patterns brought about revolutionary changes in traditional business areas are no longer a trend but an objective reality.

According to the Ministry of Commerce monitoring data, 3000 key retail enterprises in the first three quarters of this year increased online shopping by 34.7% over the same period. Most enterprises have begun to get electric shock. However, due to the inertia constraints of the traditional rental counters and joint deduction mode, the pformation and upgrading are difficult.

"Although the development of retail industry has been temporarily affected, this is the throes of the pition period. In the long run, there are many favorable conditions.

In the third Plenary Session of the 18th CPC Central Committee, it was proposed that we should speed up the improvement of the modern market system, form a reasonable and orderly pattern of income distribution, and establish a more equitable and sustainable social security system, which will further stimulate the vitality and endogenous driving force of economic development, release huge consumption potential, and provide a more favorable macro environment for the long-term sustainable development of the zero sale industry.

Wang Desheng said.

< p > to deal with the challenges faced by the retail industry, the key is to change the way of development and innovate the business mode.

At the fifteenth China chain industry conference, Wang Desheng said that in the retail field, we should focus on two new understandings. First, we should re recognize the relationship between competition and cooperation, and integration has become the trend and direction of future industrial development.

Wang Desheng said, it is difficult to define the category of an innovative retailing enterprise in traditional way. The integration of retail industry with the first and second industries, integration of online and offline, integration of retail industry and finance are all advancing, and successful cases are constantly emerging.

The future retail market cooperation and win-win situation should be the main theme, and the era of an enterprise beating the whole world is over.

The two is to re understand the core competitiveness of retail.

In the past, shop resources were the core competitive advantages of retail enterprises. Whoever possessed the sales network would have the right to speak.

In the era of big data, the development of information technology and the emergence of e-commerce have changed all this.

"Now, who is closest to the consumer, who knows the most about the consumer, who can win in the fierce competition."

Wang Desheng said that data and information become the core resources, and how traditional business enterprises can turn past accumulated experience into big data that can be exploited and utilized. How to excavate and use network information is a magic weapon for success in the future.

< p > Wang Desheng said that as the competent department of retail industry, in order to support the retail industry to accelerate reform and innovation and development, the Ministry of Commerce recently has two specific tasks: first, actively promoting the retail industry to strengthen exchanges and cooperation.

To speed up the mode innovation, we should support and guide enterprises to carry out supply chain < a href= "http://sjfzxm.com/news/index_c.asp" > resource integration < /a > O2O business, finance and other aspects through pilot and demonstration.

The two is to promote the development of business logistics.

The Ministry of Commerce will seize the key link of urban logistics, promote the construction of logistics standardization, establish and improve the logistics integrity system, support the construction of a number of logistics information platforms, accelerate the development of urban logistics, and vigorously cultivate the third party logistics enterprises, so as to create a favorable policy environment for the development of logistics industry.
