Report Buyer, the online destination for business intelligence for major industry sectors, has added a new report analysing UK childrenswear retailers.
The report “UK Childrenswear Retailers 2010”, available at http://www.reportbuyer.com/
Moreover, childrenswear specialists have continued to lose share - only Mothercare and Adams remain as significant operators, with the former having the most potential to grow its business in both the UK and internationally. Clothing specialists hold the largest share of the market - accounting for over half the £4.23bn market in 2009.
The 304 page report shows that although the childrenswear market will decline by 0.1% in 2009 this will be less than adult sectors, and infantswear will increase thanks to a mini baby boom. The most important change is in volume, which is expected to slump from growth of 4% in 2008 to a decline of 0.1%. This represents a challenge for childrenswear retailers.
Furthermore, authors of the report note that retailers have won share primarily as a result of Woolworths' demise in late 2008. The 5.4% market share this freed up has been spread across the market but value retailers and grocers are the main beneficiaries. Grocers collectively have gained £324 million in 2009.
