UK Womenswear Retailers 2010
Verdict Research Limited, Jan 2011, Pages: 284
2011 looks set to be another difficult year for womenswear retailers as inflation drives prices up and consumers feel the impact of higher taxes, weak wage growth and public sector job cuts. UK Womenswear Retailers 2010, ensures retailers are best prepared for the coming year, with comprehensive analysis of the issues they are facing and how best to overcome them.
Scope:
- Spending trends in clothing, womenswear, menswear, childrenswear and accessories 2001-2011e
- Comprehensive profiles and outlooks for the ten largest operators across clothing specialists, grocers and department stores
- Analysis of a selection of small but influential womenswear retailers and the impact they are having on the market
Highlights
- After slipping into negative territory in 2009 we expect growth of 5.4% for womenswear in 2010 to £20.2bn. While on paper this is a good performance, it has still been a difficult year with economic concerns far from over and growth mainly driven by inflation.
- Both M&S and Primark made gains of 0.3 percentage points in the womenswear market in 2010, the highest apart from Arcadia whose share grew 0.6 percentage points, mainly due to absorbing Bhs. M&S has had a challenging few years and, though it appears to have turned a corner, its 2010 womenswear market share of 11.9% is still below its 2006 level.
- As opportunities for growth become more difficult we have seen more womenswear retailers diversifying into other product sectors. Though a big impact on footfall and sales will take time, expanding into other sectors such as health & beauty and homewares will encourage customers to spend more time instore and push up average spend.
Reasons to purchase:
- Use practical and actionable analysis to shape future business strategy
- Reduce risk and maximise opportunities, through understanding the key issues set to impact on the market in 2011
- Benchmark your performance against the 10 leading womenswear retailers’ key operating statistics and growth plans
