How will the downturn affect UK value clothing retailers?

The £8.8bn value clothing market has been the engine of the UK clothing market over the past decade, but growth has slowed significantly over the past two years and there have been several casualties among the smaller operators as costs rise and debt levels become unsustainable. Profitability and like-for-like sales growth have declined, and even the market leaders are finding times more challenging. The era of price deflation and high volume sales has come to an end and consumers
are tiring of high consumption.
