UK Department Stores 2009  

   
The UK department store sector has been through a period of change since the millennium from exits and consolidation. It now faces further contraction as the non-food sector suffers during the recession.
The sector is set to increase its floorspace by 5.6%, but this extra capacity is coming into a market with consumer demand in steep decline. As a result, average sales densities per square foot will decline, putting operating profit margins under severe pressure, just one of the factors that will affect profitability in the sector.
