Slow but steady growth for retailing in 2017

Overall UK retailing saw slow but steady growth in 2017, as the impact of the Brexit referendum continued to rumble on. The subsequent economic uncertainty led many consumers to rein in their spending as many have become more price sensitive.

The growing use of smartphones is changing the dynamics of internet retailing

UK consumers are spending a growing proportion of their time using smartphones, which is making smartphones an increasingly important sales and marketing channel among UK retailers. There was a strong focus on offering mobile-optimised sites and apps towards the end of the review period, while players increasingly sought to engage consumers via social media.

Discounters enjoy success on the back of growing consumer price sensitivity

Non-grocery sales gained share marginally on grocery in 2017 in a continuation of a trend see over the review period as a whole. Leading grocery retailers continued to engage in price wars as the success of discounters, especially Aldi and Lidl, combined with increasing consumer price-sensitivity, boosted demand for everyday low pricing among grocery retailers and not just during special discounting periods.

Pressure mounts on leading grocery retailers

The leading grocery retailers remained the leading players in retailing during 2017. However, J Sainsbury and Asda lost some share in the year as growing competition from discounters and the success of online marketplaces and internet pure play retailers continued to pile on the pressure.

Stronger performance ahead driven by value players and mobile internet retailing

Marginal growth in value sales at constant 2017 prices for retailing is expected over the forecast period. Price competition will remain prevalent, with value players, such as discounters, variety stores and fast fashion players, likely to continue to perform well.
