Along with shoppers in Europe and the U.S., UK consumers have reduced their shopping frequency, become less impulsive, and are shopping at lower-priced retail channels over the past fifteen years. Realizing the strong potential in apparel spending growth will require brands to incentivize UK consumers to break from the pragmatic habits through higher quality offerings and seamless shopping journeys.

OMNICHANNEL SHOPPINGAlthough overall apparel spending is projected to grow the fastest in the UK compared to other developed markets, online apparel and footwear spending in the UK is projected to grow the slowest (even though it is the largest online clothing and footwear market in Europe). UK consumers are primarily utilizing brand and retailer sites for their online inspiration and browsing needs, pointing to opportunities to enhance social, email, and blogger outreach. Cultivating omnichannel or online spending in the UK may require brands to reach for customers beyond their dedicated websites.

SEEKING SUSTAINABLE APPAREL
TOP SUSTAINABILITY/SOCIAL CONCERNS
Although nearly 3 in 4 UK consumers would blame the industry for clothing produced in a non-sustainable manner, only about 1 in 4 actually seek out sustainable clothing for themselves. Brands interested in touting their sustainable advancements may also want to tout their commitment to cotton, the fiber that is viewed by about 2 in 3 UK shoppers as being the most trustworthy, comfortable, reliable, and sustainable.
