韓元匯率波動導致韓國免稅店奢侈品價格倒掛 近期升值後再現免稅優勢

Quick Look

受韓元匯率劇烈波動影響,韓國免稅店曾出現進口精品比百貨公司貴的罕見現象,以Dior Lady Bag Mini為例,三個月前在免稅店購買較貴約11.7%。隨著韓元近期升值,同款包現在在免稅店更便宜約15萬韓元。免稅業者亦頻繁調整基準匯率,樂天、新羅、新世界及現代已將基準匯率從1美元兌1400韓元調至1350韓元,以應對匯率波動並維持價格競爭力。

AI-generated summary

Why It Matters

韓元匯率近期劇烈波動,三個月前一度貶至1美元兌1524.5韓元,近期升值至1美元兌1336.1韓元。免稅店依基準匯率將韓元商品標價為美元,匯率變化直接影響免稅價格競爭力。

韓國免稅店人潮熱絡。(歐新社)

〔財經頻道/綜合報導〕台灣人赴韓血拚注意!綜合韓媒報導,受到韓元匯率劇烈波動影響,韓國部分進口精品直到8月仍出現「免稅店比百貨公司貴」的罕見現象,一款名牌包價差一度將近12%。不過隨著韓元近期升值,情勢已經逆轉,部分進口精品的免稅價重新低於百貨公司,劇烈的匯率變化也讓韓國免稅業者不得不頻繁調整定價策略。

綜合韓媒報導,以Dior Lady Bag Mini為例,韓國免稅店售價為5500美元。以3個月前1美元兌1524.5韓元計算,換算價格約838萬韓元,但同款商品在韓國百貨公司的售價只有750萬韓元。

請繼續往下閱讀...

換句話說,當時若在免稅店購買這款Dior包,換算後反而比百貨公司貴了88萬韓元,價差約11.7%,出現「免稅反而更貴」的價格倒掛。

不過,隨著韓元近期升值,情況已經逆轉。以9月9日1美元兌1336.1韓元計算,同樣售價5500美元的Dior包,換算價格已降至約735萬韓元,反而比百貨公司的750萬韓元便宜約15萬韓元。

值得注意的是,Dior的5500美元售價並沒有改變,價格逆轉主要來自韓元升值。同樣5500美元,3個月前約838萬韓元,如今只需要約735萬韓元。

韓元匯率劇烈震盪,也讓免稅業者不得不頻繁調整定價策略。樂天、新羅、新世界及現代四大免稅業者,近期將韓國商品適用的基準匯率由1美元兌1400韓元調至1350韓元,其中樂天、現代自9月10日起採用,新羅、新世界則從11日起跟進。

這項基準匯率調整主要影響韓國商品,與Dior等海外精品因韓元升值而變便宜是兩回事。韓國商品以韓元價格為基礎,再依免稅業者設定的基準匯率換算成美元標價。基準匯率由1400韓元調至1350韓元後,在韓元價格不變的情況下,換算出的美元標價將提高。

業界解釋,先前韓元走弱時,韓國免稅店的價格競爭力下降,外國觀光客轉往百貨公司,以及Olive Young、大創(Daiso)、Musinsa等通路購物的現象加劇。為了留住外國旅客,免稅業者當時調高基準匯率,藉此壓低韓國商品的美元標價,維持價格競爭力,但業者也因此承受毛利壓力。

如今韓元升值,業者開始將先前因應高匯率而調高的基準匯率往下修。業界人士表示,這次調整主要是把先前為維持價格競爭力而壓低的韓國商品美元標價恢復正常水準。

值得注意的是,過去匯率相對穩定時,免稅店基準匯率可能3至4年才調整一次,如今調整週期已縮短至約1個月,凸顯匯率變化之快。

業界人士坦言,無論匯率高低,只要走勢穩定就容易預測,但波動幅度一旦擴大,經營負擔就會加重。目前採購人員最傷腦筋的,就是究竟應該何時進貨、準備多少庫存。

The consumption structure of Taiwanese people has changed drastically in the past 30 years: food, clothing, housing and transportation have stagnated or declined, and expenditures on food, clothing, accommodation and medical care have surged.

According to statistics from the General Accounting Office, Taiwan's household consumption structure has changed significantly in the past 30 years.

On the contrary, restaurant and accommodation expenditures have increased from 8.16% to 14.19%, and medical care expenditures have increased from 9.96% to 14.08%, reflecting the increase in dual-income families, the normalization of eating out, and the increase in passive medical expenditures brought about by a super-aging society.
