The combination of a stagnating housing market, restricted access to credit and deteriorating consumer confidence will cause furniture and floorcoverings to be the worst performing retail sector in 2009. The only sub-sector to achieve positive year-on-year growth throughout the period will be beds and bedrooms. This is largely due to it being a needs based product; should it break, customers will look to replace it quicker than other pieces of furniture. UK Retail Futures 2013: Furniture & Floorcoverings is a new report published by Verdict Research providing a comprehensive, authoritative analysis of the market outlook. This supplies an extensive range of key data and metrics essential for participants to fully understand the dynamics of the market and form winning strategies.
