The “Dollar Store” War in India
The competition to become The Indian “Dollar Store” has reached its zenith. The battle for authenticity will only get more fierce as more international companies enter the Indian retail industry. The following is a list of some significant players building their brand presence:
MINISO
Japanese designer Mr. Miyake Junya and a youthful Chinese businessman Mr. Ye Guofu co-founded MINISO in Tokyo, Japan, with the former functioning as head designer. MINISO is a proponent of “intelligent consumer items” on a worldwide scale. Founded in 2013 by MINISO Industries Co., Ltd., MINISO debuted in Chinese market in September of that same year in order to fully penetrate the country’s market for intelligent consumer goods. In India, it debuted in August 2017. Since its establishment in Japan in 2013, MINISO has vigorously explored the global market and built more than 2600 outlets. With an average monthly growth rate of 80–100 stores, MINISO currently has strategic cooperation agreements with more than 60 nations and regions, including Indonesia, South Korea, Hong Kong, the Philippines, Thailand, Vietnam, Mexico, Singapore, Malaysia, Turkey, Canada, Australia, Brazil, Pakistan, Taiwan, India, South Africa, the United States, and Russia.

Notably, the bulk of the businesses on this notion source their goods mostly from Bangladesh, Singapore, Japan, Bangladesh, South Korea, and Thailand for cosmetics. With the exception of a handful, the most of them have chosen to grow their presence in the Indian retail sector through franchising with profitable investment models and building company-owned locations. Building brand allegiance in Indian retail, where the average client is constantly seeking for an inexpensive and reduced quality product, would be a difficult battle for the companies.
