Women's Clothing Stores in Florida - Industry Market Research Report

Loose thread: Price competition and the rise of e-tailers have decreased industry demand

Women's Clothing Stores in Florida

The Women's Clothing Stores industry in Florida has been all but sunny over the past five years. Due to declining mall traffic and competition from thriving superstore retailers, industry revenue is expected to fall over the five years to 2017. Price competition between operators and the growing dominance of e-commerce has depleted demand from industry stores. Despite per capita disposable income in Florida increasing at a slower rate than the national level, state industry-specific revenue is expected to decline less precipitously than the annualized 1.3% decline in revenue expected at the national level. By definition, this industry only accounts for clothing stores that specialize in women's clothing, which excludes many popular family and unisex retailers that also carry women's clothing, usually at lower prices. Over the five years to 2022, industry revenue is expected to decline further, as industry competition is expected to rise and internet sales continue to gain an edge in women's clothing.

This industry is composed of establishments that specialize in women’s wear, including misses’, juniors’, plus-size and maternity clothing. Operators in this industry undertake sales and administrative activities, such as customer service, advertising and cash handling. Some stores also offer basic alteration services on site.

This report covers the scope, size, disposition and growth of the industry including the key sensitivities and success factors. Also included are five year industry forecasts, growth rates and an analysis of the industry key players and their market shares.
