Report description

Verdict Retail forecasts the childrenswear market to grow by 1.7% in 2012, underperforming total clothing due to lower inflation. However, despite pressure on disposable incomes we expect the market to be the most resilient by volume. Parents are reluctant to cut back on childrenswear, purchases are more needs-driven and the market is value-driven allowing for high volumes – supporting volume recovery

Provides data and insight on market size, sales and growth rates for childrenswear, overall and at category level, helping to plan range development
Provides expenditure breakdown across the value, midmarket and premium sectors highlighting to you the areas which offer the most growth potential
Market issues are examined; the economy, demographic trends, polarisation and multichannel, improving your awareness of challenges and opportunities
Childrenswear expenditure forecast to 2015 and analysis of volume growth and inflation, aiding future planning and strategising

While clothes shopping for their children is one area parents are reluctant to cut back on, the planned changes to child benefits in the UK, is likely to reduce consumers’ discretionary spending on childrenswear unless they make further cost savings elsewhere. We expect spending cuts to fuel the ever growing popularity of value clothing retailers

Market growth is dependent on demographic changes such as birth rates and the average age of mothers. A forecast fall in the number of children aged under one between 2014 and 2016 will negatively affect the market, particularly in infantswear. However, women delaying starting a family will help drive expenditure as incomes are generally higher

In the last five years the value sector of the childrenswear market has become the largest proportion of consumer expenditure, overtaking the midmarket. The low prices offered by value players continue to resonate well with cash conscious shoppers and the premium market satisfies the demand for buying into luxury pieces – squeezing the midmarket

How will the government spending cuts impact childrenswear expenditure and what can I do to encourage customers to purchase discretionary items?
What impact will Kiddicare have on the market and who is at risk from its expansion plans? How can I compete with their business strengths?
Which segments of the market offer the best growth potential? How is the premium/luxury sector performing considering restricted disposable incomes?
Which retailers will gain the most market share in 2012, and who are expected to be the greatest share losers and why?
