Asia is a world of extremes both within and between countries.. 3
We have identified seven factors that will shape the growth of the Consumer Products industry in Asia 2010 Mega-Trends for Asia IBM s Vision A World of Extremes 1 2 Consumer value drivers fragment Urban and rural divide continues Consumers Industry Competition Business Operations 3 4 5 Gatekeepers become more guarded Information exposes all Mega-retailers break the boundaries Sophisticated urban shoppers with multiple personal value drivers Rural populations continue to seek low-cost solutions Dominance of mega s retailers, suppliers, brands Proliferation of focused specialists Slow demise of undifferentiated, mid-tier competitors Responsive structures mirror market morphing Information provides market insights Global and local enterprises and value networks 6 7 Industries reshape into flexible value networks Markets restructure Trends affecting Consumer Demand Trends affecting Consumer Supply Additional Key Drivers in Asia 4
Consumer value drivers are fragmenting as a result of changing demographics and value systems 1 Consumer Value Drivers Fragment % of population 20 th Century Homogenous Consumers Consumer Segments Extreme shifts in: Age Wealth Ethnicity/Culture Lifestage patterns Household composition Value Systems % of population 21 st Century Fragmented Consumers Consumer Segments 5
While urban centres are expanding, the rural population will still continue to be a significant demographic factor 2 Urban and Rural Divide Continues 80% 70% 60% 50% 40% 30% 20% 10% 0% 2003 2030 ASEAN China India Japan Korea Percentage Increase in Urban Population from 2000 to 2030 Source : World Bank, 2005, www.geohive.com 6
Urban and Rural Drivers 2 Urban and Rural Divide Continues Urban drivers Increasing rate of urbanisation Emerging middle classes Increasing economic prosperity Commercial and communications infrastructure New generation rapidly learning super shopper behaviours Competition from leading global manufacturers and retailers Rural drivers Approximately 61% of the Asian population are currently rural this should fall to 46% by 2010 Relative economic weakness Limited access to education Lack of infrastructure Commercial environment shaped by regulation - limited to local players in some areas (eg retail in India) 7
Consumers will seek greater control over their interactions with businesses 3 Gatekeepers Become More Guarded Blocking Out, Shutting Down Overexposed and confused Ignoring low-value messages Blocking unsolicited communications Taking Charge Asserting control over use of personal data Setting a high bar on trust Leveraging technology and regulation Marketing tactics must focus more on influencing behavior at the point of purchase. Trust in the brand becomes a precious, irreplaceable asset. 8
Consumers become super-shoppers, accessing information whenever and wherever they want it 4 Information Exposes All Netizens & Bloggers Key Enablers Ubiquitous networking Next-generation mobile devices Advanced infomediaries 3-G Communications Mobile Phone Wireless, W-FI, Broadband DSL, ADSL Companies must counter commoditization by emphasizing new and proprietary offerings, and adapting marketing tactics. 9
Top retailers expand rapidly across categories and geographies, accelerating competitive Darwinism 5 Mega-Retailers Break the Boundaries New geographies New formats Mega-retailers are dictating the terms of trade for CP companies Mega- Retailers Competing retailers will enlist suppliers to help them differentiate New categories New price positioning Source: IBM Institute for Business Value analysis 10

All Asian markets are in a period of structural change and economic development CP industry regulations 7 Markets Restructure Asia 2010 Fragmented and complex supply chains Market consolidation Asia today Urban and rural Economic conditions Continuous and discontinuous change Consumer value drivers fragment Structural change Like North American and European markets, Asian markets and consumers are changing behaviour In addition, Asian markets are also changing structurally driven by consolidation and regulation 12
Asia is a heterogeneous region with diverse consumer values creating a polarised market Polarization in the Consumer Marketplace Bell Curves Growth Undifferentiated competitors fade into irrelevance Mass Well Curves Consumers maximize buying power Mega-players capture dominant market share Price & Competitive Positioning Highly focused, relevant value propositions are essential to grow in a world of extremes Targeted Consumers maximize personal value Differentiated specialists build profitable, high-growth niches. 13
But, speed of change towards a polarised market and modern channels varies between and within regions Mature The 2010 consumer: Urban China, Korea, Japan, Singapore, Hong Kong, Taiwan. Emerging Continued focus on low-cost: Rural China, India and ASEAN Bell Curve Bell Curve Growth Growth Well Curve Well Curve mass Price Positioning targeted mass Price Positioning targeted 14

The world of extremes offers tremendous challenges and opportunities in Asia Consumers Sophisticated urban shoppers with multiple personal value drivers Rural populations continue to seek low-cost solutions Retailers Dominance of mega s retailers, suppliers, brands Proliferation of focused specialists Slow demise of undifferentiated, midtier competitors Consumer Products Companies Integration and consolidation of markets and supply chains Focused organisations, responsive to markets and consumers Global vs local and urban vs rural operational complexity Strong competition between global, local and retailer brands Mid-tier brands squeezed out CP industry deregulation and restructuring 16
Strategic imperatives vary from market to market Mature Asian markets require consumer companies to execute strategic imperatives similar to their global counterparts 1 Deliver insightdriven Analyze all data sources innovation Accelerate time-to-market and revenue growth 2 3 Sell more through superior service Build fit for purpose supply chains Gain preferred supplier status through value-added services Transform customer management Tailor supply chain networks to deliver innovation 4 Focus your organisation on differentiators Identify opportunities to focus and to manage nondifferentiating tasks 1. New Product Development 17
And one size does not fit all There are two strategies for two different market models Mature Markets Emerging Markets Characteristics Large urban population Modern channels of trade Established middle and upper class, though they be only a small percentage of the population Developed infrastructure e.g. information technology and telecommunications Characteristics Large rural population although urban population is growing and migration to urban centres is accelerating Large emerging urban middle class Greater ratios of younger consumers Traditional channels of trade Developing infrastructure e.g. information technology and telecommunications Japan, Korea some cities in China and some parts of ASEAN (Singapore, Malaysia) Rural China, India, Some parts of ASEAN (Vietnam, Myanmar) 18
