UK footwear could see the biggest shakeup in 2009 since the death of the British Shoe Corporation in the mid 1990s. A large part of the lower and middle price footwear business faces the risk of collapse, leaving only a few large scale specialists and more premium and fashion-led players surviving. This situation however does leave considerable consumer expenditure for others to capture. UK Footwear Retailers 2009 is a new report from Verdict that provides a comprehensive account of the UK footwear market with detailed analysis of expenditure trends, market dynamics and the outlook for retailers in the sector. It includes market sizes, growth trends, unique market share data and detailed profiles on 18 of the leading players, including key operating statistics – vital measures of success in a challenging period.
