Plus-Size Women's Clothing Stores in the UK - Industry Market Research Report

Wrong size: Industry revenue is expected to contract in 2023-24 due to constrained spending caused by the cost-of-living crisis

In the UK's plus size women's clothing stores industry, revenue is expected to decrease at a compound annual rate of 3.7% over the five years through 2023-24, to £708 million; including a forecast decline of 0.6% in the current year. This decline can be attributed to uncertain economic conditions and the COVID-19 pandemic, which resulted in reduced sales of non-essential items. The increased risk of COVID-19 among the overweight led to consumers making a more concerted effort to manage their weight, lowering revenue.
