The UK apparel retailing sector is dominated by big players and price competition is intense. In recent years, value apparel retailers have been gaining a larger share of this market as consumers have been trading down in response to tough economic conditions and government spending cuts. Also, Internet retailing has been growing rapidly and has gained a strong foothold in the market. This report provides vital data and analysis of the key issues and developments in the UK apparel retailing sector and market trends by retail segment. Also, it identifies the key challenges facing the sector in the light of an ageing population and changing consumer buying patterns.
