Helping generate RMB100 million in sales of Macau products on Mainland Chinese e-commerce platforms via live streaming last year, the recently inaugurated project Macau Live Stream Station (MBU) aims to further help local merchants and brands “e-commercialise” their products so as to seize opportunities across the border.

Tendo instaurado mais de 1.600 inquéritos, a Polícia Judiciária registou uma subida significativa de 34,4% no número de crimes informáticos no ano passado, um aumento que se deve a uma maior utilização da internet e à falta de sensibilidade do público com questões de cibersegurança. O volume de crimes ligados ao jogo subiu 23,2% no ano transacto, com 1.372 processos instaurados relacionados com agiotagem, sequestro e outros. No relatório anual divulgado ontem, as autoridades policiais alertam ainda para uma maior intervenção de forças externas neste ano. https://pontofinal-macau.com/2022/01/28/criminalidade-informatica-registou-crescimento-assinalavel-este-ano-diz-pj/

Macau já conta actualmente com seis supermercados online, mais quatro do que no início de 2020, reflectindo uma crescente procura dos consumidores. Em 2021, um deles sofreu uma quebra anual de 15% nas vendas, mas o número de membros aumentou um quinto. O gerente do “BluBasket” acredita que os cidadãos de Macau estão hoje mais habituados a fazer compras a partir de casa, incluindo de produtos estrangeiros, devido à falta de acesso a mercados externos. Algumas entidades da área da assistência social, como lares de idosos, também entraram no grupo de clientes do supermercado online https://jtm.com.mo/local/supermercados-online-conquistam-cada-vez-mais-consumidores/

Macau is not likely to see a new $5 billion property anytime soon beyond Galaxy’s Lot 4 project, with operators expected to leverage their existing assets to address emerging and underserved market sectors and maximize existing customers, says Lee Montaina, managing director of Westar Architects International Macau Limited. Pre-2014, during the boom days for Macau gaming, the city’s gaming concessionaires were scrambling to meet unfettered gaming demand from Mainland China. We saw the grand opening of Wynn Palace and The Parisian Macao in 2016, MGM Cotai and Zaha Hadid-designed Morpheus Hotel in 2018, and Grand Lisboa Palace which opened this year, just to name a few. “Every property was trying to ‘top the next thing,” said Montaina in an interview with Asia Gaming Brief. https://agbrief.com/news/macau/29/11/2021/new-5-billion-property-not-on-the-cards-for-macau-soon-montaina/?utm_source=Asia+Gaming+Brief&utm_campaign=29a5476e30-&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_51950b5d21-29a5476e30-69255637&ct=t()&goal=0_51950b5d21-29a5476e30-69255637

Macau observers are noting an increasing disconnect between the number of incoming tourists and gross gambling revenue, pointing to a changing demographic in those visiting Macau. “There is a changing demographic amongst the Mainland Chinese visitor,” said gaming consultant Ben Lee, managing partner of IGamiX Management & Consulting. “They are younger and there are more females.”“About 30 to 40 percent of them are young women and they do not gamble,” he said. Bernstein Research noted in September last year that there was a divergence between arrivals and GGR, with a follow up report in April suggesting that the reason was a “lower value customer pick up” as VIPs stayed away. “Is this market dynamics because of big discounts being offered on rooms to a demographic that doesn’t mind the tests and questions about whether they are coming to gamble?” said Lee. “Or is that that China is deciding which people can come?” He adds there is anecdotal evidence of China refusing to renew the passports of some premium mass and VIP gamblers in a deliberate manipulation of the visitor profile. https://agbrief.com/news/macau/09/11/2021/new-macau-traveller-less-likely-to-gamble/

Mass-market players in the Macau casino sector “do not seem to be playing quite as strongly as they have in the past,” said a senior executive from Melco Resorts and Entertainment Ltd during the group’s first-quarter earnings call on Wednesday.That might be “a function of… a different customer coming in right now,” added David Sisk (pictured in a file photo), the firm’s chief operating officer. A Monday note from brokerage Sanford C. Bernstein Ltd mentioned Macau’s April casino gross gaming revenue (GGR) had been “steady” even as visitor volume had risen, indicating that the recovery of the Macau tourism sector had involved a “low-value customer” segment in gaming terms. https://www.ggrasia.com/mass-players-not-spending-as-much-as-before-melco-coo/
Antes da pandemia, existiam no território 118 estabelecimentos que prestam serviço de recepção de encomendas. O surto pandémico fomentou uma expansão neste novo sector, com as lojas do género a subirem 124% para um total de 265 no terceiro trimestre de 2020, revelou a DSEC ao Jornal TRIBUNA DE MACAU. Com o aumento da concorrência, algumas lojas diversificaram os serviços, adicionando, por exemplo, o de depósito temporário que dispensa encontros entre vendedores e compradores. Além disso há quem recorra a “armários inteligentes” de 24 horas, ao prolongamento de horário e até à colaboração com outros tipos de estabelecimentos, aproveitando os espaços livres para prestar este serviço, partilhando lucros com os parceiros. As lojas com esse “duplo papel” já funcionam a par de ramos como a restauração, a venda a retalho e até casas de penhores https://jtm.com.mo/local/lojas-de-recepcao-de-encomendas-mais-duplicaram/
