Retail casualties have characterised the homewares market in recent times. The latter period of 2008 saw Rosebys, Woolworths and The Pier, exit the market. All three engaged in clearout sales, shifting huge amounts of volume but damaging consumer willingness to pay full price. The shrinking market will bring further casualties and dissuade new entrants, as well as making retailers less likely to add new space, further slowing growth and a potential recovery.
