Over the forecast period, apparel and footwear specialists is set to see the resumption of its long-standing downwards trend in terms of number of outlets, sales area, and value sales, after seeing a temporary rebound in sales in 2022, which is likely to continue, although to a lesser extent, in 2023. This is because the channel will face elevated pressure from persistent inflation in Germany and low consumer confidence, as economic uncertainty will continue to reduce demand for non-essential items.
In view of the number of challenges that apparel and footwear specialists is expected to face over the forecast period, the risk of major insolvencies is expected to increase significantly. This is because for several years, the challenging operating environment has made apparel and footwear specialists increasingly vulnerable, particularly due to the growing influence of e-commerce.
Over the forecast period, apparel and footwear specialists will face growing pressure from lower foot traffic in Germany’s inner cities. While this challenge has already grown over several years due to the rise of e-commerce, it is expected to accelerate going forward, due to the growing number of closures, not only amongst apparel and footwear specialists, but amongst store-based retailers in inner cities more broadly.
