Retail casualties have characterized the homewares marketing recent times. The latter period of 2008 saw Rosebys, Woolworths and The Pier, exit the market. All three engaged in clearout sales, shifting huge amounts of volume but damaging consumer willingness to pay full price. The shrinking market will bring further casualties and dissuade new entrants, as well as making retailers less likely to add new space, further slowing growth and a potential recovery. UK Retail Futures 2013: Homewares is a new report published by Verdict Research providing a comprehensive, authoritative analysis of the market outlook. This report supplies an extensive range of key data and metrics essential for participants to fully understand the dynamics of the market and form winning strategies.
