Value sales of apparel and footwear specialists (at constant 2024 prices) are expected to marginally decline over the forecast period, with consumers becoming increasingly selective in their spending amid continued economic uncertainty. As disposable incomes remain under pressure, consumers are likely to prioritise essential purchases, leading to a decrease in discretionary spending on fashion and footwear.
Apparel and footwear specialists will likely continue to prioritise creating immersive shopping experiences that captivate consumers beyond traditional transactions. This can include dynamic store designs, ambient lighting, and interactive displays that enhance the overall sensory experience.
Sustainability is expected to remain a key focus in the UK, with retailers expanding circular fashion programmes, offering clothing rental services, and promoting repair and resale options. As local consumers increasingly prioritise sustainability in their purchasing decisions, retailers that offer these options will not only meet growing demand but also establish themselves as leaders in responsible fashion, enhancing their long-term appeal and sales beyond those services.

Apparel and footwear specialists are chained or independent retail outlets with a primary focus on selling one or more of the following categories: clothing, footwear, and/or fashion accessories (costume jewellery, sunglasses, belts, hats, gloves, handbags, scarves, etc.). Apparel specialists include specialty apparel like wedding dress shops. Example brands include Primark, TJ Maxx, and Zara. Sportswear retailers, such as Adidas and Nike, are excluded from this channel and are included in Sports Goods Stores; this is due to the companies considering themselves sports companies as opposed to apparel companies.
