The household textiles market was estimated at over £1.2 billion at
manufacturers prices in 2009. It is a well-established and mature
market consisting of a wide range of products, most of which have high
levels of household penetration. Market conditions over the past two
years have been tough, reflecting the difficulties in the housing
market and pressures on consumer spending as a result of the downturn.
Short-term prospects are difficult, but longer term prospects are
slightly more optimistic although, given the maturity of the market,
further growth is likely to be fairly constrained.
|
Of particular interest are the
following:-
-
Effects of the
recession/downturn, affecting household spending.
-
Changes in
product mix and supply structure.
-
High levels of
competition, exacerbated by discounting and price cutting.
-
Increasing
penetration of imports from Asia, particularly China and India.
-
Ongoing
polarisation – despite the downturn – with rapid growth of the
‘economy’ end of the market, and, at the same time, the introduction
of innovative, environmentally-friendly/Fairtrade and ‘premium’
products.

to 2014 – key drivers, timing and speed of recovery.
