Danish toy maker Lego said it planned to focus more on Asia after the continent proved to be the fastest-growing region for sales in the first half.
今年上半年,,亞洲成為丹麥玩具廠商樂高公司銷售業(yè)績(jī)?cè)鲩L(zhǎng)最快的市場(chǎng),,該公司計(jì)劃將更加關(guān)注這一地區(qū),。(路透)
根據(jù)樂高公布的數(shù)據(jù),,樂高今年上半年銷售收入達(dá)到103.6億丹麥克朗(約合18.3億美元)。同期運(yùn)營利潤(rùn)增長(zhǎng)11%至32億丹麥克朗,。其中,亞洲市場(chǎng)銷售增長(zhǎng)了35%,,遠(yuǎn)遠(yuǎn)超過了其第一大市場(chǎng)美國(4%)的增幅,,拉丁美洲和歐洲兩大市場(chǎng)的銷售增幅為8%。
Lego chief executive Jorgen Vig Knudstorp said:“It is a very satisfactory result in view of general developments in the world toy market,,which has had a slow start to the year in the largest and most mature markets of North America,,Europe and Japan.”
樂高首席執(zhí)行官克努德斯托普稱:“從全球市場(chǎng)發(fā)展情況來看,這是一個(gè)令人非常滿意的結(jié)果,,畢竟今年初始階段最龐大也是最成熟的北美,、歐洲和日本市場(chǎng)起步較慢�,!�(BBC)
樂高公司目前由其創(chuàng)始人之孫Kjeld Kirk Kristiansen掌控,,并未公開上市。統(tǒng)計(jì)顯示,,每一個(gè)地球人平均擁有86塊樂高積木玩具,,每一秒中就有一套樂高玩具被地球上某個(gè)角落的消費(fèi)者買走,。
Mattel Inc. remains the world’s largest toy maker,measured by sales. It recorded $2.2 billion in revenue in the first half,,and No. 3 Hasbro Inc. reported $1.4 billion in sales amid falling sluggish demand for its goods.
不過,,按銷售額計(jì)算,美國美泰公司仍是全球第一大玩具生產(chǎn)商,。今年上半年,,美泰銷售收入達(dá)到創(chuàng)紀(jì)錄的22億美元。排在第三位的是孩之寶公司,,因需求不振,,其上半年銷售業(yè)績(jī)僅為14億美元。(《華爾街日?qǐng)?bào)》)
分析人士稱,,三大玩具公司在美國市場(chǎng)上競(jìng)爭(zhēng)日趨激烈,,隨著亞洲新興經(jīng)濟(jì)體的集體崛起,三家公司都對(duì)亞洲市場(chǎng)持樂觀態(tài)度,,未來它們將在這一地區(qū)努力爭(zhēng)奪新興中產(chǎn)階層,。
Through a strong retail reach in department stores and malls,Lego has gradually gained market share in China’s fragmented toy market,,having reached 1% last year,,up from 0.6% five years earlier,according to market research company Euromonitor International. The largest toy maker,,domestic company Guangdong Alpha Animation & Culture Co.,,had a 4.4% market share in 2012.
根據(jù)市場(chǎng)調(diào)查公司Euromonitor International的研究成果,樂高玩具在中國百貨商店和大型購物中心零售業(yè)績(jī)猛增,,令其在分散化的中國市場(chǎng)的份額逐漸增加,,由5年前的0.6%升至去年的1%。中國國內(nèi)最大的玩具公司廣東奧飛動(dòng)漫2012年在華市場(chǎng)份額為4.4%,。(《華爾街日?qǐng)?bào)》)
據(jù)測(cè)算,,2012年中國玩具市場(chǎng)接近480億元人民幣(約合78.4億美元)。樂高首席財(cái)務(wù)官約翰·古德溫稱,,中國目前還是一個(gè)非常分散化的玩具市場(chǎng),,國際品牌的植入程度還很低,對(duì)樂高來說,,這也是重要的機(jī)遇,。
“We have recently located our regional headquarter for Asia in Singapore and we will begin construction of our own in-region manufacturing facilities in China next year”,chief financial officer John Goodwin said.
“我們最近將亞洲地區(qū)總部設(shè)在新加坡,,明年將在中國開建亞洲地區(qū)玩具制造基地,。”首席財(cái)務(wù)官古德溫說。(法新社)
在經(jīng)歷2003至2004年的經(jīng)營危機(jī)后,,樂高逐漸將生產(chǎn)線擴(kuò)大到捷克,、墨西哥、匈牙利等國,,目前已經(jīng)連續(xù)7年保持強(qiáng)勁增長(zhǎng),。在華新廠將設(shè)于嘉興,樂高希望這家工廠在2017年可以承擔(dān)亞洲市場(chǎng)70%到80%的供貨任務(wù),。
