ABSTRACT
This report examines the highly-competitive UK clothing retailing industry, in which one retailer will gain at the expense of another. During 2000, the discount clothing sector led by Matalan PLC, TK Maxx PLC and Primark PLC, grew by almost 15% at the expense of mid-market retailers such as Marks & Spencer PLC (M&S) and Arcadia Group PLC. Inevitably, the latter fought back with their own price cuts and the investment of considerable resources to regain lost ground. It is this middle market that is now making progress, with Bhs Ltd and Arcadia Group PLC, in particular, showing impressive recoveries. The big corporate chains are claiming growing market share with fewer, but bigger, outlets. According to the Department of Trade & Industry (DTI), the largest shops and chains control about 75% of the clothing market. The growing involvement of the grocery multiples is certainly adding low-price capacity.
