UK Fashion Multiples 2006. This report analyses key fashion retailers in the UK, the challenges they face in a sector that is suffering from low growth, constant price deflation, intensifying competition and rising cost and how fashion multiples are devising new growth strategies to win market share.

Scope

• The report features 10 operators and 16 fascias and includes each company's key operating statistics for the past five years.
• It also includes five year market shares in the clothing, womenswear and menswear markets, and forecasts market share for the full year 2006.
• The market sizes are also given for the past five years, plus growth rates and inflation/deflation changes.

Highlights

In the face of growing competition in the clothing market, low growth and price deflation, fashion multiples are looking for new strategies to provide growth and market share.Through consolidation, retailers such as the Mosaic Group now have a larger share of the womenswear market than either New Look or Primark. Retailers are also looking at new channels, international growth and brand and product extensions - at the same time maintaining a positioning that justifies their price points.

Reasons to Purchase

• Understand new strategies for clothing retailers to insulate themselves from the intensifying competition.
• Benchmark your business against a range of different types of fashion multiple to gain more accurate performance measures.
• Compare each retailer's performance and find out who are the winners in terms of operating margins and sales densities.
