subject: Tomorrows Clothing Retail Sectors, Markets And Routes [print this page] Tomorrow's clothing retail: sectors, markets and routes - forecasts to 2016
Following on from recent report predicting tomorrow's apparel manufacturing industry, this sister title looks at tomorrow's clothing retail market. This think-piece report is about the whole of clothing retail, now and in the future. It is an analysis of where the consumers' money will be spent.

Accordingly, it has been split into broad price, merchandise and geography segments. These are:
* Regional geography (North America; Western Europe; Japan; Middle East; BRICs).
The main question that the report poses is whether the financial crises of 2008-2010 have created a paradigm shift in the behaviour of consumers, retailers and brands, in what is now a differently constructed business and political world.
Extract: Retailers behaviours have been erratic, not to say schizophrenic since October 2008. In turn, we witnessed:
* an immediate reaction to dramatic falls in demand by a wave of offers;
* a realisation that SS09 would be heavily overstocked;
* a savage reduction in purchases for AW09;
* a play it safe merchandise choice approach to SS10;
* for AW10 some have prepared for recovery; others have banked on double dip recession.
