Highlights
Despite improved growth, 2010 will continue to be tough. We expect higher
taxes and weak wage growth to result in consumer reluctance to spend.
Inflation has been the main contributor to growth, with VAT and increased cost
prices pushing up costs.
Cost price pressures will push up the selling prices of items as retailers
will not be able to absorb production cost increases without taking
significant hits on margins. Retailers will try to minimise inflation by
continuing to negotiate harder with suppliers and adding detail to
garments.
Retailers will need to make the store environment, customer service and
shopping experience exciting and enjoyable to entice people into stores and
encourage discretionary purchases. While creating an emotional attachment with
consumers through communication and returning to traditional values will
encourage return visits.
