Abstract
Overview
Introduction
Verdict Research: The UK clothing & footwear sector has undergone a major
repositioning since the millennium because of price deflation. Power has
shifted from the traditional middle market retailers to volume, price-led
retailers and more premium niche brands. This report highlights the trends and
indicates both the challenges retailers face and the opportunities available.
Scope
- Five-year forecasts for expenditure, inflation and volume growth in
clothing, womenswear, menswear, childrenswear, accessories & footwear.
- Five-year forecasts for clothing and footwear specialists' sales, store
numbers, retail space and sales densities.
- Channel of distribution forecasts for specialists, grocers, department
stores, home shopping and other non-specialists.
- Outlook for both clothing and footwear specialists and a comprehensive
analysis of the key issues.
Report Highlights
Growth is set to slow down over the next five years to 17.0% and price
deflation will come to an end in 2010.
The influx of new space will make it hard to achieve like-for-like growth, but
will provide opportunities to relocate to larger stores in higher footfall
locations. This will allow clothing specialists to widen their ranges further,
which will put footwear specialists under greater pressure.
Value retailers will account for a quarter of all spending in the clothing &
footwear market by 2012.
Reasons to Purchase
