    Description

    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.

    Description

    Online small electrical appliance retailers have outperformed their bricks-and-mortar counterparts over the past few years. High internet penetration (92% in 2023, according to the Office for National Statistics) and the growth of internet-enabled devices in the UK have changed consumers' online spending habits , driving up online sales. The increased security of online payment systems has also helped reassure consumers that it’s safe to buy online, increasing online retailers' market share. At the same time, the ease and simplicity of online shopping has increased older consumers' willingness to purchase household appliances online. Over the five years through 2024-25, revenue is expected to edge up at a compound annual rate of 0.1% to reach £396.8 million, owing mostly to a dip in revenue in 2022-23 as the cost of living crisis squeezed Britons’ budgets and ability to spend on small electrical appliances. The pandemic expedited changes to consumer lifestyles, driving a sharp uptake in home coffee consumption and at-home cooking, as well as offering a significant boost to online retail as a share of retail sales. In 2024-25 industry revenue is set to hike by 2.9%, with profit forecast to inch up to 7.7% of revenue owing to easing inflation and mounting demand for kitchen gadgets and small electrical grooming tools, in line growing health consciousness and attention to personal style and appearance. Despite the overall positive trends, the industry continues to contend with numerous challenges, including high inflation and fierce competition, both within the industry and from other retailers like department stores and specialised stores. Increased online activity and the growing popularity of online shopping are expected to drive further growth in the Online Small Electrical Appliance Retailers industry in the coming years. Revenue is slated to swell at a compound annual rate of 3% over the five years through 2029-30 to reach £460.3 million. The continued shift towards online retailing and away from in-store shopping is expected to be the main driver of growth, as well as the introduction of new products. However, online retailers are expected to continue to face some challenges in the short term, including logistical issues, an increased focus on reducing waste and stiff competition.

    Description

    Rising penetration of 5G-enabled mobile devices, competitive prices and a convenient shopping experience drive revenue growth in the Online Household Furniture Retail industry. Over the five years through 2024-25, revenue is forecast to grow at a compound annual rate of 5.1% to reach £3.6 billion, including growth of 3.8% in 2024-25. The COVID-19 pandemic sparked a surge in online shopping as non-essential retail businesses closed temporarily, and people were ordered to stay at home. As people had more spare time, many homeowners purchased furniture to revamp their homes, supporting a sharp uptick in revenue during lockdown periods. Following the pandemic, the cost-of-living crisis has applied the brakes to online furniture retailers’ revenue growth as customers have become increasingly cost-conscious. Sky-high borrowing costs have also deterred property transactions, putting a plug in furniture sales to new homeowners. Retailers have responded to the strong economic headwinds by adapting their product mix and marketing campaigns to target more affluent individuals less exposed to inflationary pressures. Demand for premium furniture remains robust in this market, while sales of upcycled and sustainable furniture are booming, helping to keep revenue moving in the right direction. Profit has also benefitted from rising high-margin premium product sales. Over the five years through 2029-30, online furniture retailers’ revenue is anticipated to grow at a compound annual rate of 4.2% to reach £4.4 billion. Interest in circular household fashion trends will remain entrenched, with upcycled furniture likely to remain a high-growth area. Online-only retailers face a growing threat from omnichannel retailers, with the online marketplace becoming increasingly saturated. Integration of augmented reality and virtual reality technologies, like virtual showrooms and furniture overlays onto a smartphone, will be crucial for online-only retailers to compete with omnichannel-boasting retailers.

    Market Overview

    Market Growth Analysis Driver

    One of the key factors driving the market growth is the rise in international retailing. International retailing comprises the cross-border transfer of retail technology, management skills, and buying functions. In addition, with the availability of new market opportunities and increasing globalization, the global market is witnessing intense competition among international retailers that are setting up new outlets in emerging markets including the developing countries of APAC.

    Moreover, the rising penetration of the Internet has increased e-commerce and trade opportunities for international retailers. In addition, global grocery retailers and international fashion brands enable the sales and purchase of their goods and services across international borders to expand their businesses. This trend is particularly evident in the Qatar e-commerce market, where the adoption of online shopping platforms has surged, offering consumers access to a wide range of products from global brands. Furthermore, international retailing in Qatar supports economic growth through increased tax revenues generated from import and export activities. As a result, these factors collectively drive growth in the Qatar e-commerce market during the forecast period, fostering a competitive retail environment and enhancing consumer choice and convenience.

    Market Growth and Trends

    A key factor shaping the market growth is the evolving role of social media in e-commerce. The number of social shoppers is increasing at a significant rate. In addition, since Facebook and Instagram Checkout included the Buy option, social media has been a major factor in the expansion of the e-commerce sector. Therefore, this is a great opportunity for brands to focus on improving their position on social media, which is a great platform for brands to be discovered.

    Moreover, as consumers are spending more time on various social media platforms, e-commerce companies can benefit from the assistance of Instagram influencers to boost their chances of being found by their intended audience. In addition, companies may effortlessly connect their online storefronts with social media websites through retail e-commerce software systems like Shopify, enabling customers to make purchases from them directly through these channels. Hence, such factors are driving the market growth during the forecast period.

    Market Restrain

    Threats from open-source software are one of the key challenges hindering the market growth. The availability of open-source retail e-commerce software can negatively impact the market. In addition, this type of software is becoming popular in developing economies, such as India and China, as it can be downloaded and run on all platforms.

    Moreover, cloud-based retail e-commerce software is more affordable than on-premises. In addition, the use of open-source retail e-commerce software involves low upfront costs for enterprises and provides them with high flexibility. Therefore, small-sized and individual retailers prefer using
