In 2009, the UK clothing and footwear will experience an unprecedented fall in retail expenditure. With consumer confidence low, unemployment rising and house prices falling, consumers will attempt to resist spending money on discretionary items, such as clothing and footwear. As a result, retailers will face one of the most difficult periods in over 25 years.
