The UK childrenswear market is proving to be resilient in the face of tough economic headwinds and in 2008 is forecast to grow an estimated 2.4%. By volume it is the fastest growing clothing category, but deflation continues to drag down total growth as value clothing specialists and grocers expand their share of the market. Nearly 40% of all childrenswear sales are via the value sector, which places particular strain on specialists, as recent events have demonstrated.
