Introduction

Emaar Properties or Emaar is a Dubai-based company located in the UAE that provides services in commercial and residential property development throughout the world. It was created in 1997; it continues to be one of the major real estate developers in the United Arab Emirates and internationally, with more than 50 subsidiaries functioning internationally. Its flagman projects include Burj Khalifa, the Dubai Mall, the Dubai Fountain in Dubai, HITEC City in Hyderabad, India, the Tuscan Valley in Turkey, etc.

It should be noted that due to its international presence, the company operates in multiple countries, including the UAE, Egypt, India, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, and other parts of Asia Pacific. Its target markets include citizens and tourists of the middle class, upper-middle-class, and upper-class levels from the Middle East, North America, Europe, North Africa, etc. The new target country of Emaar is England; the company is not yet present in the country but aims to enter the market by presenting its properties to potential target markets.

In 2017, the company opened a showcase for its properties in Dubai at Harrods, London, with hopes to attract more customers and clients to their offers in the relevant territory. It is notable that the target market of Emaar can be divided into several groups: it is travelers ‘who seek a strong lifestyle experience’, young families and Gen-Y travelers in Europe, business travelers, and MICE (meetings, incentives, conferences, and events) tourists interested in new experiences and travel destinations at affordable prices. Therefore, one can assume that the target market is citizens of England, of any age, who are interested in quality leisure at a reasonable price; business travelers are more interested in quality hotels that provide short stays, while young families and Gen-Y travelers are looking for affordable hotels with quality services that allow prolonged stays.

Research Methodology

The research methodology of this paper is a qualitative research that incorporates the following research techniques: web analytics (data gathered from primary and secondary sources was analyzed and applied to the paper’s objectives) and interviews with key informants (employees of the company). Web analytics allowed the researcher to gather and analyze data related to the company, the industry, the company’s target markets, make comparisons to establish the preferred marketing strategy, etc. Interviews with key informants provided the researcher with primary data that was necessary to provide more detailed, relevant recommendations. All interviews were conducted with present or former employees of the company; each of the interviews was conducted via E-Mail correspondence. To view the interview summary, see the Appendix.

Market Analysis

The foreign market suggested the company’s expansion in London in England, UK. This market was chosen for different reasons. First, the company expressed interest in expanding its business to major European cities: “We are looking at key gateway cities. We are looking at London, Rome. In addition, we are looking at cities where opportunities can lie.” Second, it is interested in feeder markets for the Middle East. Third, such a business hub as London includes a large target market that consists of business travelers and travelers with good/high income. The selection criteria were the following:

  1. The target market is large
  2. Company expressed interest in the country
  3. The country/city heavily relies on business
  4. Real estate market is stable or growing

Business Environment Analysis

A brief glimpse of the business environment analysis for Emaar Properties has been provided in the table below; however, it should be considered in detail in the subsequent sections:

Political/LegalLaws in the UAE allow less internal freedom than in the UK
Registration of overseas business in less supported in the UK
Environmental FactorsDue to the BREXIT procedure, the company might experience difficulties in integrating the market. The Clean Air Act regulates pollution and will influence the company’s operations.
Estate registration is available via estate agents and offices.
Business must be registered with HM Revenue and Customs, fees are to be paid, otherwise, the business receives a penalty.
Economic ConditionsPop. size: 8,673,713; GDP: £565 billion ($720 billion); current economic growth: £15.5 billion ($19.7 billion) from financial business services;
Expected economic growth is approx. 25-27%;
UK’s inflation rate is 2.7%;
London’s unemployment rate is approx. 6%;
Average interbank interest rate: -0.42614 %;
Gross disposable household income: £23,607 ($30.04)
Social/Cultural FactorsEnglish is the second language of many UAE citizens, some of the companies use it as a tool for international communication. Documentation and papers in London are mostly in English, in the UAE (Dubai) in Arabic. Levels of entrepreneurial interest are high in both cities. Dubai citizens are more open and communicable than London citizens. Islam is the major religion in Dubai/the UAE, Christianity is common for London/ the UK.
London and Dubai both have policies that address climate change.
London attracts more than 15 million tourists each year, thus increasing the company’s chances to attract more new clients.
Demographic Trends25% of Inner London citizens are from 25 to 35, and more young adults (including YA families) are present.
Technological EnvironmentLondon is a large financial hub, where the majority of Fortune 500 companies are present. Inventions of new technologies in the real estate industry can facilitate a company’s entrance, but might also increase costs. The technological effort is crucial for the industry but technological diffusion is high. The life cycle of technological obsolesce is short.

Political/Legal/Institutional Environments

Although a number of political and institutional instabilities are haunting the UK at present times, from an overall perspective, these are unlikely to hamper the country’s business environment significantly; therefore, the market entry can still become successful.

Regulatory Environment (Present and Anticipated)

The regulatory environment in the UK has remained to be quite strict in comparison with the UAE, and now, due to certain national issues, the UK government has undertaken measures to make it even stricter – and this may create some hassles for Emaar’s entrance in the future.

Economic Environment (Conditions and Trends)

The UK economy seems quite stable since it has recovered from the effects of the global financial downturn; even in the middle of the national unrests, the economy has shown stable growth rates:

Economic growth rate of the UK.
Figure 1: Economic growth rate of the UK.

In addition, the British consumers promise a very lucrative market, since the consumer-driven growth has been gradually increasing every year:

Social and Cultural Environment (Factors and Trends)

The UK society is quite liberal and the country’s cultural backdrop welcomes people from different racial backgrounds; moreover, the civilians are generally friendly with foreign businesses and the cultural dissimilarities do not usually affect the overseas companies adversely.

Demographic Environment (Data and Identification of Trends)

The UK has an aging population, which is essential for a property business like Emaar because it is generally the old and the middle-aged individuals who are willing to buy properties; therefore, the demographic environment of the country has been outlined below:

Population64,430,428
Birth rateTwelve birth per thousand population
Age distribution
0 to 4 yrs17.44 percent (men 5,761,311 and women 5,476,649)

Figures on dependency ratios

Technological Environment (Factors and Trends)

The technological environment of the country is highly business-friendly, and it is able to offer the latest technical advancements, innovations, IT infrastructures, scientific experts, and other relevant facilitates to Emaar in order to help it in expanding the business. Moreover, various solutions are present through which the country can help this potential market entry to become successful; these can include the integration of cloud computing mechanisms, online payment systems, and so on.

Natural Environment (Effect of Seasonal or Climatic Factors)

The climatic conditions of the UK remain stable throughout the year and there are no chances of any kind of serious business disruptions due to the atmospheric conditions.

Physical Environment (Infrastructure Indicators)

The UK possesses a strong physical environment where both foreign and local businesses can flourish; it has a solid base of infrastructural facilities that can ensure smooth operational activities.

Nature of Demand

The UK consumers conventionally demonstrated a very high demand for the real estate industry; however, following the Brexit actions, the industry has observed a slight fall in consumer demands, mainly due to uncertainties in the market – this can make the market entry a bit tougher for the company.

Size and Extent of Demand

Due to the above-mentioned reasons, the size and the extent of the demand in the real estate industry have diminished recently; this is apparent since the investments in the UK’s property sector has lowered significantly in current times in comparison with 2014; this can be noticed from the figure below:

Falling size and extent of the demand since 2015.
Figure 3: Falling size and extent of the demand since 2015.

Product Category Stage of Product Life Cycle

The following figure illustrates the product life cycle for Emaar, showing the prospective product category stages in the real estate sector of the UK in the post-market penetration phase:

Product life cycle for Emaar in the UK.
Figure 4: Product life cycle for Emaar in the UK.

Structure of the Industry

At this stage of the paper, the structure of the UK’s real estate industry shall be considered in terms of the cost structure and the competitive structure of the industry.

Cost Structure of the Industry

The following figure shows the cost structure of the UK’s real estate industry; it is notable that ‘other residential houses’ (owner-occupied or social housing) has the largest share in the cost structure, whereas infrastructure is the second biggest area of investment and commercial property is the third-largest:

Cost structure of the industry.
Figure 5: Cost structure of the industry.
Competitive Structure of the Industry

In the UK, the real estate industry can be described as a highly competitive sector, as a huge number of players tend to control the entire industry, and the threats of new entrants are low as well.

Competitor Analysis in Country of Investment

There are many companies offering real estate and property services in the UK, which, for example, includes CLS Holdings, Emerson Group, West Properties, Galliard Homes, Opal Property Group, Allied London, Balkan Dream Properties, Capital and Centric, and so on; as a result, Emaar must adopt relevant strategies to sustain in this area.

Emaar SWOT Analysis

The SWOT analysis for the company in order to start its operation in the UK has been delineated in the subsections below:

Internal Company Strengths and Weaknesses

Internal StrengthsRapid expansion: Emaar is one of the fastest-growing property businesses in the global market, and the number of satisfied customers of the company is increasing gradually every year
Technology: as per the annual report, the company is committed to provide superior service and offer innovative solutions using the most advanced technological applications so that its customers can carry out most of the formalities online
Financial strength: as per the annual report of the company, Emaar has demonstrated extraordinary financial performance in the last 10 years, and the financial capabilities of the company are highly likely to support its entry in the new markets
Brand awareness: being one of the biggest real estate companies in the UAE, Emaar has a strong brand image not only in the national market but also in the international arena as well, since it operates in 36 countries all over the world with huge success
Quality: Emaar has never compromised with the quality of service provided to the customers, and it is Emaar’s key strength
Internal WeaknessesThere is often problems of communication within the business; so a gap between the top-level management and low-level workers persists in Emaar
The complex structures of its subsidiaries are difficult to manage
The corporate culture is not strong enough to create a bonding with the employees
The company’s customer relationship management has remained to be quite poor; in most cases, the company fails to understand the customers appropriately and generate trustworthy relationships over the longer term

Table 4: Internal company strengths and weaknesses.

External Market Opportunities and Threats

External OpportunitiesThe consumer groups of the UK are highly enthusiastic towards real estate businesses, which promises new profits
The country offers good technical support to new businesses, and is likely to come up with innovative business models based on information technology
Highly qualified local labor is available in the UK
The economy of the country is quite stable
The demands in the property market are likely to increase after Brexit
External ThreatsExtremely strict regulatory requirements
Temporary political instability in the UK
Due to the adverse political and economic scenarios in certain markets, it is often difficult for the company to control the operating costs and to reduce other financial risks
Foreign companies are often charged a high level of taxes in the UK

Table 5: External market opportunities and threats.

Implications of SWOT Analysis

From the above SWOT analysis, it can be construed that the company has enough strengths to overcome the possible threats and weaknesses in the British market. Since this new market promises fresh revenues for the company, it is highly likely that it would overcome the risks involved in the market entry process and use its full potential to monetize the opportunities.

Emaar International Objectives

International Objectives

The international objectives of the company should be to further boost its key strengths, particularly, its advanced technologies, financial strengths, fast growth, brand awareness, and quality in order to aggressively compete in the UK market.

Market Objectives

The market objectives of the company should be to persuade the target customers in getting involved in the property trade and make sure that its pricing policies are strong enough to compete with the rivals.

The recommended marketing strategies for the market entry of Emaar in the UK are specifically analyzed below:

Target Markets Identification and Segmentation Strategy

The target market should be the high-income earners, who are principally middle-aged or elderly; this is because aged individuals tend to have more money in their hands, and are more likely to invest in the property market – thus, the market would be segmented according to ‘high to low’ income groups, and age demographics.

Market Positioning

The following figure shows the market positioning of Emaar in the UK; it suggests that the company would principally focus on high growth markets and strong competitive positions:

Market positioning of Emaar in the UK.
Figure 6: Market positioning of Emaar in the UK.

Market Entry Strategy

Whilst there are many ways in which the company can make its market entry, it is highly advisable for the company to follow the joint venture strategy, as other entry routes can be highly expensive and risky. If it solely enters the market, the risks would be high, as being a UAE-based business; it is unaware of the UK market. As a result, it is pragmatic to select a stable local real estate company and enter into a joint venture with them, so that the market can be easily accessed at low costs and the expertise of the local business can be used.

Emaar Marketing Mix and Tactics

The key marketing mix strategies and tactics are considered below:

Product/Service and Branding Strategy

The company would offer its existing range of services in the UK, but try to focus more on creating brand awareness amongst the public by using brand promotional strategies over a longer period.

Place (Distribution) Strategy

As the company plans to enter the market by the joint venture, it would try to keep the costs lower and make sure that it uses the existing distribution strategy of its partner company – since they have better knowhow of the market, this should be appreciated.

Price Strategy Structure

Emaar would be using highly competitive pricing strategy because there are a huge number of competitors in the market who are able to offer lower prices; in fact, in the second year of its operations, the company would provide regular discounts in order to attract the customers and create a loyal customer base.

Promotion Strategy (Including Promotional Budget)

Promotion StrategyReason
Television advertisementTelevision campaigns are expected to be the best media to attract people of all ages, including middle-aged men and women spending their leisure, or working people watching TV at a Saturday night; so, Emaar could get more opportunity to exhibit the services through TV campaign besides of reaching mass public at the same time
Campaign through print mediaNewspaper is one of the most essential campaigning media for any company to come into the attention of mass people; so, Emaar will start and continue paid circular campaigns in the UK market
Radio campaignsEmaar will also go through radio-advertising, as this form of advertisement will better address those busy people
Online marketing campaignThis may include web marketing, including search engine optimization, advertisement through social networking sites, website development, blogs, and e-mails; moreover, by advertising through Google+, Twitter, Facebook, Myspace, etc should also be emphasized
