Research and analysis highlights
With the country officially in recession, consumers have been cutting down on
non-essential spending and womenswear has been no exception. This, together
with unemployment rising, is having a knock on effect on the sector and
Verdict estimates total womenswear sales will be down 0.9% in 2009 the first
decline in over 20 years.
The recession has provided a welcome boost for value retailers in 2009,
benefitting from consumers trading down. But as economic conditions improve
value retailers must try and retain customers through developing clear range
segmentation and improving retail formats as well as fully utilising the
online channel.
While price remains important to female shoppers it is less so as they get
older with quality, service and convenience all becoming more prominent
loyalty drivers. Given an ageing population profile retailers must be aware of
these changes and adapt business strategies to reflect them.
