Summary
With a weakening economy, rising unemployment, and lower household income the clothing category witnessed a slight increase of 0.08% throughout 2009-2014. With the rise of the median age in France, mature customers will be willing to spend more on essential commodities rather than lifestyle expenses. Conversely, the availability of a larger collection of products at low prices is fueling growth of the online channel in this category. Similar to the clothing market, weakening macroeconomic factors are set to challenge footwear retailers as consumers delay their footwear replacements.
Key Findings
- France is a global destination for luxury clothing and any decline in general clothing sales will largely be compensated by luxury clothing sales, a category driven by tourists and high income groups.
- Over the forecast period, French clothing retail sales are forecast to grow at a CAGR of 0.6%.
- Footwear sales are expected to be growing at a CAGR of 1.2% during 2014-2019.
- Convenience, a large collection of footwear, and premium footwear products being offered at discounted prices by online retailers will largely drive online footwear sales.
