Clothing
This year the percentage of the population who shop for
clothing has fallen to 73.0%. Household disposable
income came under intense pressure throughout 2012
with the rising cost of commodities. However, personal
tax allowances are set to increase gradually; we expect
an increase in consumer discretionary purchases, which
should ultimately drive footfall into clothing stores.
Understand which strategies are most effective at
driving customer loyalty in clothing and justify your
own business investments.

Footwear
Range remains the key driver of loyalty in the
footwear sector, and while price's importance has
diminished slightly, it remains the second most cited
loyalty driver. Just three of the retailers achieved
higher loyalty scores than in 2012 – Next, Primark
and Asda. This highlights their strength in the market,
with quality, price & convenience, respectively, being
the standout reasons for their success.
Find out how many other stores your shoppers
use for footwear, which stores these are and
whether this will be a threat going forward.

Food & Grocery
While food & grocery remains the largest, most
homogenous and most valuable retail sector in the
UK, there is still scope for increased customer
penetration as has been proven this year. Increasing
flexibility of new formats and the changing shopping
habits of UK grocery consumers have meant that
more people are shopping for groceries as they adapt
to a new way of spending.
Buy this report to explore how the profile of the
consumers shopping at the main food & grocery
players changed over the past year and why.

Personal Care
Despite the continued economic pressure affecting the UK retail sector, health &
beauty has managed to maintain steady growth in 2013, as the essential nature of
many of its products guarantees a constant sales stream, while it’s relatively low
prices mean shoppers can treat themselves when disposable incomes are
squeezed.
The data in this report is segmented regionally, by demographic and socio-
economic group to enable you to identify which customer bases offer the
most opportunities.

Electricals
Despite restricted spending, electricals visitor numbers have
risen in 2013. Online pureplay retailers have made the biggest
increases in visitors, while grocers have lost ground as they
redirect attention to core operations. eBay has grown its
visitor share for the fourth consecutive year, up from 8.5% in
2012 to 10.4% in 2013. Its demographic mix of visitors is
dominated by young male shoppers, with high penetration in
the 16–24 and 25–34 age groups.

regionally, by demographic and socio-economic group to

Music & Video
Shifting trends in the way in which we consume music & video have
led to a continuing decline in the sector’s share of shoppers, which
has now fallen from half to one-third of all UK consumers.
More than ever, music & video consumers are looking for more
immediate gratification, with convenience making significant gains
on the two longstanding key drivers of loyalty: price and range.
Learn about the shift in consumption patterns among British
shoppers, as many more now use subscription services as
opposed to retailers.
