The future looks bright for Asian supermarkets like H Mart.Eamings of Asian-American households outpace the American average.Their spending exceeds all other groups,too,according to Geoscape,a consultancy.And they spend more of their money on groceries than the average America household.But Asian delicacies can be hard to come by:few Americans are likely to see durian or bamboo shoots in their local shop.Some specialty ingredients are only to be found at a premium(高價)in up-market grocery stores,or miles away,in ethnic markets in older Asian neighborhpods.
Americans have developed greater appetite for cooking and eating Asian foods,t00.In 2012 non.restaurant sales of Asian foods topped $1.5 billion,according to Mintel Group.a market.research firm.Though Latin foods are a bigger market,the popularity of Asian foods is growing faster.Once strange.seeming imports like seaweed and sashimi are now fashionable eats.Though the rate of growth is expected to fall,sales are likely to keep rising.
Yet most Asian grocers have not made efforts to reach new customers,says Jeffrey Cohen,an analyst at IBIS World,an industries watcher.Many shops are located in minority enclaves,and do little to market themselves to other Americans.Cramped car parks and dingy interiors fend off customers used to the bright fluorescence(熒光)of mainstream supermarkets.Ingredients labeled with poorly-translated English Can leave shoppers bamed.
A few Asian grocery chains have caught on,opening stores in more diverse suburbs,paying attention to cosmetic niceties(細節)and marketing more widely.Other than H Mart,there are Califomian chains such as 99 Ranch Market and Shun Fat Supermarket,which have been expanding to the American southwest.The former was even featured in a humorous YouTube music vide—“Asians Eat Weird Things”—which has attracted more than 900,000 hits.Those weird things may not seem so weird after all.
