UK Neighbourhood Retailers 2012
Verdict Research Limited, Dec 2011, Pages: 197
UK Neighbourhood Retailers 2012: Examines the latest developments in neighbourhood retail, providing comprehensive analysis of the location to identify the key issues impacting it and how opportunities for growth or survival can be found. The size of the market is detailed, with five year forecasts and analysis of emerging trends. Key retailers in the sector are profiled and critically assessed.
Scope:
- Key metrics of neighbourhood retail: sales growth, space, store numbers, store sizes and sales densities
- Analysis of convenience stores and small grocers, off-licences, CTNs, food specialists and pharmacies in neighbourhood locations
- Profiles of key players operating in the location, including operating statistics, recent key events and outlook and market shares for 2007 to 2012
- Comprehensive analysis of the issues impacting the market, identifying emerging trends and growth opportunities, recommending strategies for success
Highlights:
- Continuing inflation will have less impact on the neighbourhood sector than other locations. Shoppers tend to be less price sensitive in neighbourhood stores, prioritising convenience over low prices. Moreover, these stores benefit from distress purchases – unplanned and urgent shopping trips, where immediate needs negate price sensitivity.
- As the neighbourhood market becomes more mature for Sainsbury's and Tesco, they are improving their offer to maximise sales. However, what is really driving innovation in the sector is the entry of new players – changing expectations of a multiple's neighbourhood store. Waitrose and Morrisons have introduced a focus on fresh and quality products.
- Symbol groups ability to maintain a lower level of member churn will be key to future growth. By improving their product ranges and support packages, symbol operators will encourage more retailers to remain with them
Reasons to buy:
- Understand the changing dynamics of the location, its composition and key charactestics of shoppers in neighbourhood
- Analyse the impact of the ongoing and evolving growth of grocers in the sector. How will this impact range development?
- Assess strategies for survival as an independent retailer
