Key Trends in Subscription Commerce 1. Diversity in the Branding/Business Models over the years Subscription Commerce (SubCom) businesses have existed since many years ago in the form of “of-the-month clubs.” But in the last few years, many startups have built the next-generation versions of the existing SubCom businesses. • Netflix started with rentals on the basis of subscription. • Companies like TrunkClub and RocksBox brought in the concept of Try Before You Buy to provide a personalized retail experience at home. • Next came companies like BirchBox with the concept of Targeted Marketing that provides the convenience for consumers to discover new products at low costs. • Companies like NatureBox are on the path of building their own brand and considering their business as a multichannel brand with subscription as a way to engage customers. • The recent wave have been in the Commodity Automation/Replenishment model brought about by companies like Dollar Shave Club and Harry’s.

2. • •

Disruption of existing market Dollar Shave Club disrupted the $13B shaving industry forcing major players like Gillette to start monthly razor subscription. [1] Recipe Boxes are transforming the traditional Grocery-on-subscription market with the concept of pre-measure ingredients/grocery for curated recipes.

Key Trends in Subscription Commerce 3. Future trends that Subscription Commerce businesses can follow The Subscription Commerce market is saturated in major categories like beauty, fashion, health, food, etc. This demands that new entrants will need to give the market a different angle like: • More personalization for curated goods. • Marketplaces for All-in-One subscription so that subscribers do not need to subscribe on multiple platforms. • Introduce subscription-based rentals for high ticket size items.

Also, subscribers have a behavioral tendency to share their “subscription boxes” on social media. Well-crafted social commerce strategies will help subscription commerce businesses to attract/engage more customers and at the same time reducing marketing costs.

Spotify is another large player with ~1.4B funding in Music Streaming space. 2013 was a breakthrough year for subscription-based digital media providers with 3x funding as compared to 2012.

Summary and Trends • • • • •

•

Food & Beverage space is the second highest funded sector in SubCom market. Though the space started with companies providing grocery and snacks on subscription, it has been taken over by Recipe Box model. A marked rise in funding in 2015 suggests that Recipe Box model has been attracting investors. Blue Apron is the leader in this segment followed by HelloFresh that grabbed $135M and $85M respectively in 2015. The success of the concept can be attributed to its target audience - busy professionals who like the idea of eating a home cooked meal but don’t have the time to shop for ingredients – and provision of exotic ingredients not easily found in grocery store. Most companies in the Food & Beverage segment rely on similar supply chain but differ on the product they offer on subscription.
