The Dis-Intermediation of Everything
Dollar Shave Club
Gillettes model and P&Gs formula generally cost a lot of money: R&D
cost money, TV advertising cost money, and wholesalers and retailers had
to earn a margin as well, and thats before P&G realized the return on their
investment. The result was that cartridges that cost less than a quarter to
manufacture and package were sold for $4 or more. That worked as long
as P&Gs other advantages in technical superiority, advertising, and
distribution held, but were they ever to falter, it was eminently viable to sell
cartridges for less and still make a healthy margin.

The Dis-Intermediation of Everything
Dollar Shave Club changing distribution and advertising
That left advertising, and this is why this video is so seminal: for
basically no money Dollar Shave Club reached 20 million people. Some
number of those people became customers, and through responsive
customer service and an ongoing focus on social media marketing,
Dollar Shave Club created an army of brand ambassadors who did for
free what P&G had to pay billions for on TV: tell people that their razors
were worth buying for a whole lot less money than Gillette was charging.

Dollar Shave Club: all about brand, experience and disruption
Dollar Shave Club has over three million subscribers but only
about 190 employees. Its razors were made in South Korea by
Dorco. Distribution was initially handled in-house but
eventually was contracted to a third-party company in
Kentucky. What remained was a terrific design, marketing
and customer service shop; and a business that was easily
expandable to meet demand and that had a good niche with
men who do not like to shop.

Honest Beauty Expansion into new product categories
I suspect this sort of disruption will not be a one-off: the Internet (and e-commerce) has so profoundly
changed the economics of business that it is only a matter of time before other product categories are
impacted, with all the second order effects that entails.

Southeast Asia macroeconomic and industry landscape
However: Google-Temasek projections for SEA too conservative
Based on China benchmarks (Total Retail % of GDP and Ecom Retail Sales / Capita), Thailand ecommerce
GMV by 2025 should be at least 3x the Google-Temasek projection, i.e. $33 billion, not $11 billion.

Southeast Asia macroeconomic and industry landscape
Ecommerce in SEA today is China circa 2007/08
1) Based on ecommerce penetration, SEA is 8 years behind China. However, SEA will catch up faster due to leapfrogging 5 years estimate
2) China is the model to predict SEAs ecommerce future due to similarities in the ecosystem. US/EU/Japan/Korea/Singapore not the right models
for SEA
3) There are differences though: a) SEA is more mobile-first/mobile-only than China; b) China had a headstart in terms of logistics infrastructure
due to the top-down, planned economy nature of the government; c) China made the rapid transition from COD to Alipay as preferred payment
method due to the massive distribution power of Alibaba; d) SEA is more competitive due it being an open market vs. Chinas closed market,
making it easier for foreign companies to enter SEA

Key drivers for ecommerce in SEA
Income levels GDP growth
Rising GDP per capita and income levels across Southeast Asia will spur
domestic retail consumption. Similar to China, most of this will happen via
ecommerce due to lack of offline retail infrastructure.

1) Mobile phone usage for shopping and research exceeding that of developed countries in SEA
like Singapore and Malaysia (urban areas)
2) Access to the rural and rapidly emerging consumer base 85% mobile commerce penetration
in non-urban Thailand; 79% in non-urban Indonesia
Thailand (and rest of SEA ex. Singapore and Malaysia) skipped Web 1.0/1.5 and
leapfrogged straight into Web 2.0. As a result, long-tail content creation nowadays is
mainly happening on closed, social media platforms like Facebook and Instagram
instead of blogs and websites. As a result, well see accelerated development and
proliferance of ecommerce and other non-ad based business models in SEA.

1) Singapore is the outlier in SEA majority of transactions are cross-border, not domestic
ecommerce. Cross-border ecommerce driven by zero or low custom duties
2) SEA (excl. Singapore) mainly domestic (local leaders) and fragmented. AEC, while great on
paper, wont move the needle in intra-SEA cross-border ecommerce

Ecommerce in Thailand
What do people buy online?
1) Home & Living, Automotive and Food & Beverage are Top 3 for In-Store purchase
2) Typically, in early stages of ecommerce development consumers buy commodities (i.e. products easily
comparable such as mobile phones and electronics) and low price-point items such as fashion & apparel.
China went through the same phases and Thailand is going through the same now
3) Home & Living, despite online supply from players like Index and SB Furniture, struggles with the complexities
of fulfillment and logistics due to its bulky and heavy product nature

Future of Ecommerce in Thailand
Stages of development for ecommerce
1) All markets typically go through the same stages of ecommerce development, moving from classifieds to C2C to B2B2C and brand.com. The
difference between Thailand (and SEA) vs. mature ecommerce markets like US and China is that the timeline is much more compressed here
i.e. everything is happening in a much shorter period (and sometimes all at once)
2) Being a truly mobile-first market, traditional business models are moving much faster to mobile. For example, Shopee, a mobile-only C2C
marketplace by Garena is rapidly eclipsing traditional desktop C2C platforms like Tarad and WeLoveShopping.
3) In China, brands progressed from selling via Tmall as a stepping stone towards operating their own brand.com site. In Thailand, we see
brands doing both at the same time, selling via Lazada as well as their brand.com stores. This is driven by technology making it much easier
to sell through different channels but also by the high degree of fragmentation in the ecommerce market (consolidation happening soon
though).
4) Other leapfrogging happening is the accelerated move towards B2B2C (3P vs. 1P) with Lazada getting over 70% of GMV from third-party
marketplace sellers vs. Amazons 59%

On Ecommerce 1.0:
If youre selling other peoples brands, you are competing not via a local group of competitors but with
everyone. In this type of market, you might imagine having one large national winner. You might imagine that
winner is ruthless about scale and cost, and is run by a visionary leader who with an extreme long-term
focus. Such a company might not make real money for a long time but when it does it will be incredibly
powerful.
On Ecommerce 2.0:
When I got to New York in 2007 as founding CEO of Bonobos, many people asked me if Id heard of Gilt
Groupe. I said no. Next thing I knew they had five hundred employees. Their rise is well documented as
theyre one of the largest e-commerce 2.0 players in the US.

Following pure play ecommerce companies in the US like Warby Parker and Birchbox who went offline to

2016-2020 predictions
Prediction Why? Examples / Pioneers
1. Brand.com Is Poised To Be The New The evolution of e-commerce commonly follows the trajectory of P2P and C2C to B2C to eventually Brand.com. The U.S. went from Craigslist Estee Lauder, LOreal, Adidas
Black and eBay to Amazon to brand sites like Nike, J.Crew and Gap. China went from Taobao to Tmall and JD to the many standalone and
marketplace brand sites, like Estee Lauder, Burberry and Coach. Todays Southeast Asia is following a similar pattern, yet at a much faster
pace due to 1 to n, horizontal progress and the resulting leapfrogging behavior. In our region, we have P2P (OLX), C2C (Rakuten, Tokopedia,
Shopee), B2C (Lazada, Zalora, MatahariMall) and Brand.com (LOreal, Estee Lauder) all happening at once within a very short time frame.
2. Omni-Channel Awakens: There Will Be Traditional offline retailers like Central and Big C have a leg up vs. ecommerce pure players due to the existing offline footprint already Central Online, Big C, MatahariMall
No More E-Commerce, Only Commerce available. These assets can be used for O2O commerce e.g. pick up in store, pay in store, order in store/delivery at home, etc. Also, having (Indonesia), Nguyen Kim (Vietnam)
this infrastructure enables these players to fulfill and deliver much faster than pure players as stores are the new fulfilment centers.
3. Niche-Commerce Models Will Evolve With B2C ecommerce being a winner-takes-all game, new entrants looking for opportunities will have to find them in emerging Ecommerce Pomelo Fashion, Sale Stock Indonesia
To Avoid The B2C Bloodbath 2.0 models. (Indonesia)
4. Cross-Border E-Commerce Will Be Despite all the media hype and lofty expectations, the ASEAN Economic Community (AEC) will not have a significant impact on e-commerce in Alibaba, JD, merchants selling on
Driven By Silk Road 2.0, Not AEC 2016. Facebook and Instagram who source
their products from China
Governments are too fragmented on policy; coupled with the immediate growth opportunity within the domestic markets, it doesnt make
sense to focus on cross-border within ASEAN, as evidenced by companies such as Lazada and MatahariMall doubling-down on Indonesias e-
commerce opportunity.
Cross-border e-commerce in 2016 will be driven mainly by what we call Silk Road 2.0. These are Greater China-based companies that will
bring their products into Southeast Asia, laying the foundation for our generations version of the Silk Road and attempting to expand Chinas
soft power and hegemony through commerce and digital.
5. Payments: COD Will Continue Its Reign The next double-digit billion dollar opportunity in Southeast Asia e-commerce is the third-party online payment space. US has PayPal and Lazada, aCommerce
While Third-Party Payments Struggle China has AliPay; what does Southeast Asia have?
Contrary to what many people believe, building a successful payment product isnt about technology, its about distribution. Payment
technology is a commodity; everyones building the same thing, including banks (SCB UP2ME), telcos (TrueMoney, PAYSBUY), media (LINE
Pay, AirPay by Garena), retailers (helloPay by Lazada) and payment-focused startups (2C2P, Omise).
The hard part is distribution. How do you reach critical mass in order to cruise off network effects? Until this happens, COD will remain the
dominant payment method in Southeast Asia. Based on aCommerces latest aggregated numbers, COD made up 74 percent of transactions in
Southeast Asia, up from 53 percent the year prior. This validates the importance of COD to e-commerce in our region, and already exceeds
the COD penetration rate at the height of its popularity in China back in 2008.
Eventually, COD will naturally reach its shelf life and be replaced by a modern third-party online payment product. Even then, the most
likely scenario will be one leading payment product per country in Southeast Asia due to the region being fragmented.
6. The Fizzle Of Fast Fashion E-Tailers Well see mass, fast-fashion players like Zalora struggle and either fizzle out or be rolled into cousin Lazada. People familiar with the history Zalora
of e-commerce in China will see similarities between Zalora and VANCL. VANCL, a mono-brand fast-fashion retailer founded by Chen Nian
(who sold his previous business, Joyo, to Amazon), rose to prominence in 2009, raised up to $570 million and even planned for an IPO, but
then gradually faded away. Selling your own fashion products is less about retail economics and much more about brand building.
In addition, VANCL suffered from competition from Taobao merchants who sold similar products for higher quality at lower prices. Replace
Taobao with Instagram and Facebook and youll understand the pain that Zalora and other mono-brand, mass-fashion retailers are going
through in Southeast Asia.
7. New Channels Will Emerge To Unfortunately for e-commerce players in our market, the range of channels available is quite limited due to historical and socio-economic Priceza, ShopSmart, Shopback
Challenge Google And Facebooks factors unique to Southeast Asia. The appearance of a no-tail landscape in terms of publishers severely hampers the effectiveness of
Dark Side traditional tools, such as affiliate marketing and programmatic display.
In Southeast Asia, players are already exhausting the usual suspect channels, such as Google Search, Facebook and Criteo, with the result
being CPCs rising to all-time highs and companies tapping into offline marketing to seek better returns. This is Andrew Chens Law of Shitty
Clickthroughs in full effect.
Companies and savvy entrepreneurs will start addressing this gap by designing and building new demand-generation platforms to offer an
alternative to the Googles and Facebooks out there. Expect to see more e-commerce firms adding channels such as price comparison, coupon
sites and cash-back sites, as well as innovative affiliate marketing solutions to balance their media mix.
8.The Battle For The Last Mile Companies like Lazada (LEX), MatahariMall and aCommerce are investing in building out their own delivery fleet in order to help relieve the Lazada Express, aCommerce, MatahariMall
Continues As 3PLs Fail To Adapt industry-wide capacity issues and serve the anticipated record-breaking transaction volume. The pressure will only become bigger in 2016 as (Indonesia)
transaction volume is expected to hit record highs in Southeast Asia.
Challenges with last-mile delivery in Southeast Asia, if not addressed properly, will become the biggest bottleneck to e-commerce growth in the
region. The industry is currently witnessing industry-wide capacity bottlenecks beyond what the JNEs, Kerry Logistics and DHLs of this world are
able to handle.
Part of this is the poor infrastructure to begin with. China, the worlds largest e-commerce market, never really had this issue because of the
socialist and central government mindset of prioritizing infrastructure investments. By the time e-commerce took off, the infrastructure was
already there, which resulted in last-mile delivery becoming a commodity service.
Also, many existing delivery companies were never built for B2C deliveries to begin with. Their core competencies are in B2B deliveries, which
typically dont face B2C headaches, like returns management, reverse logistics, pre-calling, multiple delivery attempts and cash on delivery.
9. Channel Management Will Be The real programmatic opportunity in Southeast Asia will be in e-commerce, not in display advertising. With the advent and fragmentation of Branch8, aCommerce
The New Programmatic Ad online marketplaces, the challenge for brands will be to choose on which channels to be present and what products to push in each of these
Agencies Still Stuck In 2011 channels.
Business of Fashion predicts a near future where the retailer/vendor relationship will begin to look a lot more like a media buy than the
wholesale product purchase agreement of today. Physical stores have the potential to be the most powerful and effective form of media
available to a brand because it offers an experience, which if crafted properly, cannot be replicated online.
10. The Talent War Will Inflate One of the biggest issues faced by all e-commerce players in Southeast Asia is the lack of talent. In 2015, it was common to see employees being
Salaries Faster Than Ubers poached left and right with new salaries of 1.5-3x. Obviously, this isnt sustainable, but it is the current foundation of the talent war in Southeast
Valuation Asia.
11. B2C Bloodbath Will Drive Retail B2C is a winner-takes-all market. Players with the most long-term view and deepest pockets will survive. In US and China, B2C ecommerce WhatsNew (Petloft, Venbi, Sanoga,
Consolidation has boiled down to a 1-2 player game (Amazon, JD, Tmall). SEA and Thailand are still fragmented but well expect to see 1-2 clear leaders to Lafema) acquiring Moxy
emerge over the next five years as funding runs out for B2C and investors will look for returns, not growth. Moxy merging with Indonesias Bilna to
become Orami
Cdiscount sold to BJC (Asiabooks,
Berlivery)
Zalora Thailand and Vietnam sold to
Thailands Central Group
12. C2C game will shift towards Traditional C2C platforms like Tarad and WeLoveShopping have been running out of steam as they missed the shift towards mobile. With an Shopee, Line Shop, Carousell (Singapore,
mobile, leaving behind traditional estimated 1/3 of total Thailand ecommerce GMV happening on Instagram and Facebook, and supported by LINE messaging, Thai users have Indonesia)
C2C platforms become accustomed to buying and selling on mobile. Mobile-only C2C platforms like Shopee and Line Shop have leveraged this opportunity to
stake their claims and take C2C marketshare away from the desktop only platforms.
