Opportunities for dynamic players
The retail and luxury sectors have had a tough few years in Hong Kong, predominately caused by the absence of visitors from mainland China. But the difficult circumstances have also opened up opportunities, with retailers repositioning to target local Hong Kong shoppers and increasing their focus on ecommerce. Dynamic international retailers such as Don Don Donki and Decathlon also have full confidence in the Hong Kong market and are continuing to expand their physical presence. Sales of FMCG products have also surged as Hong Kong consumers have adapted to the ‘stay at home’ economy.
Pivot towards digital capabilities
Hong Kong had traditionally been a laggard when it comes to e-commerce and digital commerce and digital commerce had therefore been less of a priority than in other Asian markets. That is now all changing and at PERSOLKELLY we are seeing that this is reflected in demand for roles in operations management, customer services and digital marketing. There has also been strong demand for candidates involved with branding as retailers shift their target market to cope with the ‘new reality’.
