Executive summary
Clothing and footwear: a mature market
The UK clothing and footwear market is essentially mature. Although a necessary requirement of life and particularly influenced by fashion trends, both clothing and footwear were by hit by price discounting during recent years. Increased competition at retail level, particularly due to the growing involvement of grocery retailers, caused price deflation in most clothing and footwear. This situation was exacerbated by the growing globalisation of product supply, with UK production increasingly relocated to low-cost centres in Eastern Europe and Asia.
Grocery retailers are becoming important
The profile of UK distribution channels for clothing and footwear changed during the 1990s. There was a major shift away from traditional outlets, such as department stores, clothing independents and variety stores, in favour of grocery retailers and discounters. This reflects both the growing importance of casual formats and the downward pressure of cheaper, imported products on retail price levels. Additionally, shopping is increasingly moving away from traditional high street locations to out-of-town shopping centres, where families may spend a good part of the day browsing and shopping in a wide range of stores.
Designing “in”, manufacturing “out”
There was a major shift in production of both clothing and footwear away from the UK to low-cost production centres, primarily in Asia or Eastern Europe. For example, Marks & Spencer abandoned its previous strategy of sourcing the majority of its products from UK production in 2005 and it now sources around 17% of clothing materials from India and 44% from Asia. To compensate for this shift in production, leading UK manufacturers began to emphasise their expertise in product design in order to add value to the finished product.
Buy fashionable items, dress them, and buy again
The UK consumer increasingly regards an item of clothing or footwear as disposable, rather than an investment. Quality remains important, but fashion plays a much greater role in everyday purchasing, so that an item may not be expected to last longer than one season. This placed an emphasis on price levels and significantly increased availability of 'value' brands in supermarkets and discounters, which stimulated volume sales without contributing to value sales development.
Casual formats became the rule
Although, formal clothing and footwear are normally seen as a symbol of success, taste and sophistication, casual clothing strengthened its position as the most important format. Companies are in general flexible in their dress codes and casual clothes gradually gained position on formal formats. Moreover, in social events such as business meetings, conferences, restaurants or parties, the ‘smart casual’ dress code is typically the norm. There is also a growing emphasis on purchasing clothing and footwear for evening and sports, as lifestyles changed.
