Highlights
Clothing shoppers are getting much harder to please. The share of the
population shopping for clothing declined for the second year running and
clothing shoppers are less likely to become main users and are less loyal this
year.
Shoppers expect more. Though range and price continue to be the two main
drivers of loyalty, shoppers are putting more emphasis on quality and
convenience to decide their loyalty. Price is no longer a key differentiator
despite the rapid rise of Primark consumers are looking for other factors to
add value as well.
One in three shoppers uses Marks & Spencer for clothing. The market leader has
attracted a significantly increased number of clothing shoppers this year to
lengthen its lead over Next in second place to 5.7 percentage points.
