Report description

Primark continues to deliver a very strong trading performance as it expands through new stores, while its improved fashionability, faster turnaround of trends and value credentials are particularly attractive for consumers in a challenging economic environment of lower discretionary spending.

Benchmark Primark's performance in clothing by using Verdict Retail's proprietary sales data for womenswear, menswear, childrenswear and accessories.

We expect Primark to achieve another year of robust growth in 2011/12 despite difficult trading conditions and low levels of consumer expenditure. However, like-for-like sales are slowing and pressure on margins will remain throughout the year, making it necessary for Primark to implement careful cost control to protect profitability.

Primark has seen sales multiply by nearly six times in a decade as it has pursued massive space growth. However, its operating margin has declined since 2004/05, by 4.1 percentage points. Increases in raw material costs and the VAT increase in the UK which came into effect in January 2011 were key reasons behind a significant drop in 2010/11.

In contrast to the majority of UK clothing retailers, Primark has seen its clothing density increase since 2009, as sales continue to outpace space expansion. Its competitive prices have attracted shoppers who were trading down and its focus on offering good value should continue to appeal in 2012 as consumers remain cautious with spending.

How have Primark's clothing sales and densities developed and how does Verdict Retail see this changing? How does it allocate its space between categories?
What is Primark's share of the womenswear, menswear, childrenswear, accessories, footwear and value clothing markets?
Which customer segments visit Primark for clothing & footwear? What challenges does it face from its core customer base of 16–24 year olds?
What does Primark need to consider before launching a transactional offer? What challenges does it face and how do these differ to its competitors?
