Clothing retailing revenue is forecast to fall at a compound annual rate of 0.8% over the five years through 2024-25 to £47.3 billion. This decline predominantly stems from weak performance in 2020-21 thanks to the pandemic. Since then, clothing sales have been propped up by the dramatic increase in photos and videos posted online; strong demand for fast, affordable fashion; and the introduction of credit and financing services like buy-now-pay-later platforms, which have allowed consumers to better manage their budgets and splash the cash on new clothes. Despite their recent growth, clothing retailers have faced several challenges. Online-only retailers like ASOS, Shein and Temu have grown in popularity thanks to their versatility, siphoning sales away from the British high street. Further, the fashion industry's success relies on selling mountains of clothing at low prices, but this has come with devasting environmental and social effects – and times are changing. Retailers have also contended with tightening disposable incomes, with the cost-of-living crisis seeing consumers think twice before adding that new outfit to their baskets. Despite consumer confidence improving since the height of the cost-of-living crisis in 2022-23, it remains weak, limiting spending on clothing. Still, in 2024-25, revenue is expected to bump up by 1.5%. The average profit margin has inched down over the past five years thanks to discounting activity. Clothing retailers will face a tough start to 2025-26, with hikes to the National Living Wage and National Insurance contributions set to ramp up costs. Despite this, opportunities for growth remain. Sustainability remains key, with consumers embracing upcycling, rental options and resale schemes, like ITX’s buy-back initiative. Meanwhile, influencer marketing is shifting towards authenticity as consumers favour genuine engagement over polished content and social commerce is set to boom. Despite e-commerce growth, physical stores remain relevant, with brands like Uniqlo and Abercrombie expanding. AI is also transforming retail, enhancing personalisation, inventory management, and sustainability. To stay competitive, retailers are likely to innovate across digital, in-store and operational strategies. Those that fail to adapt risk not benefitting from a potentially lucrative market. Revenue in is slated to grow at a compound annual rate of 1.1% over the five years through 2029-30 to £50.1 billion, when the average industry profit margin is slated to be 5.8%, weighed down by competition and rising investment in efficiency initiatives.

Online women's clothing retailers revenue is forecast to grow at a compound annual rate of 5.2% over the five years through 2024-25. The industry has mainly boomed thanks to the dramatic increase in photos and videos posted online, fast, affordable fashion and the introduction of credit and financing services like buy-now-pay-later platforms that have allowed consumers to manage household budgets better. Influencers, shopping hauls, and discount codes make buying clothes irresistible. Despite the positive momentum, fast fashion comes at a cost and growing awareness surrounding sustainability issues and ethical allegations, which weigh on growth. This has spurred a shift towards sustainable fashion, with shoppers increasingly opting for quality, second-hand items, or rental platforms like Hurr. Retailers, such as Boohoo, are also pledging to reduce emissions and waste by 2030. The luxury e-commerce boom is waning as interest rates remain high and shoppers return to physical stores. Retailers have also contended with tightening disposable incomes forcing consumers to rethink if they should hit 'add-to-cart' or return items entirely. As the Consumer Price Index (CPI) has decreased from its peak, suggesting a reduction in inflationary pressures for 2024-25, consumers are likely to feel more confident about their spending, revenue is expected to hike 4.3% to £13.2 billion, while the average profit margin is set to reach 6.5%. The sustainability trend will continue to gain momentum. Consumers are becoming increasingly conscious of waste, choosing to upcycle and repair products instead of buying new ones, and these trends will accelerate. Gen Z will enter the workforce, becoming a significant source of spending power and bringing new values to the market. However, with increased scrutiny on environmental claims, brands must tread carefully to avoid greenwashing. Authentic storytelling, resale sections, and partnerships will be key in attracting the next generation of socially conscious consumers. Those that fail to adapt to consumer trends by emphasising sustainability and ethical sources risk not benefitting from a potentially lucrative market. Revenue in the Online Women's Clothing Retailing industry is slated to grow at a compound annual rate of 2.5% to £15 billion over the five years through 2029-30.
