Clothing, footwear and household textiles

Article Abstract:

Prospects for the clothing, footwear and household textile industries in the UK do not look bright as the effects of the global economic crises continue to undermine growth in the three sectors. Forecasts for overall growth in the country range from 1% and above, although there are some positive signs on the horizon. Services and consumption, for instance, may prove stronger than expected while household wealth remains at record levels. In addition, productivity is growing and overall unemployment levels are relatively low.

Jeans

Article Abstract:

Consumer spending trends in the UK jeans market is discussed. Statistics cover only the jeans denim trousers market and exclude products such as shorts, jackets, shirts, Bedford cords, chinos and Levi Strauss' Dockers range of trousers. Sales of jeans continue to decline which is attributed to their being out of fashion. It is likely that the trend will continue but any forecast in a market that is affected by fashion will be highly speculative.
