PROSPECTS

Large variations in financial performance across the category

In a particularly sluggish period for the UK retail market as a whole, variety stores experienced a relatively poor financial performance. The category is also facing cost pressures from increasing wage, pension and business rates.

Changing consumer preferences in 2017

There is a growing trend in the physical retail industry to focus on smaller more specialised stores rather than larger general merchandisers. This is evident from the growth of stores, such as Tiger and MUJI, (both Tiger and MUJI retail a mix of products including homewares and stationery).

Demand for immersive retail experiences not being met

Two key consumer groups for all UK retailers are “millennials” and more recently, tourists exploiting the weakness of the sterling in the current economic climate. Both types of consumers demand immersive retail experiences, which many traditional retailers have failed to create.

COMPETITIVE LANDSCAPE

Despite uncertainty, there are some strong performers

There were some very strong performers within variety stores in 2017 with homewares store Tiger performing particularity strongly tripling the number of its stores since 2013. Furnishings retailer Cath Kidston also maintained consistent growth.

Specialisation considered as a tool to protect against competitive pressures

There are many examples of highly differentiated brands in the UK, such as Japanese retailer MUJI, the unique brands of which has enabled it to position itself towards a very specific consumer base. Moreover, Danish retailer Tiger, offers a very different mix of products and the retail experience as a whole is not comparable to traditional competitors with the store layout being a key difference.

Acquisition activity remains strong in 2017

Participants in the UK variety stores category have historically been targets for both domestic and foreign takeovers. In 2016 Poundland was acquired by South African holding company Steinhoff, while supermarket J Sainsbury took over Argos in September 2016.
