Fast Market Research recommends "Womenswear in South Africa" from Euromonitor International, now available

 

Boston, MA -- (SBWIRE) -- 10/27/2014 -- There was a growing focus on fashion among South African women during the review period, which encouraged women to update their wardrobes more frequently. However, women also faced rising debt levels towards the end of the review period, which resulted in stronger sales via price promotions. Women became more likely to shop around in search of the best price, while retailers became more likely to offer discounts in order to drive sales.

Competitive Landscape

Truworths was the leading player in womenswear in the last two years of the review period and accounted for 15% value share in 2013. The company benefits from a wide-reaching store network and a wide range of prices, including higher-priced brands targeting mid- to high-income consumers and affordable private label products. The company also continued to be fairly generous in accepting consumer credit applications in the year, thus attracting many consumers keen to shop on credit. As a result, the company gained almost a percentage point in value share in 2013 over the previous year.

Industry Prospects

The leading players are expected to tighten credit availability in womenswear in the forecast period. A number of the leading players faced difficulties in 2013 due to a rise in non-performing loans, with many consumers overextending themselves in terms of lending and incurring high debt levels. Edcon and Truworths have notably announced plans to tighten their consumer lending criteria. This trend is expected to particularly benefit cash-based retailer Mr Price, due to this player offering low prices and ensuring rapid stock rotation in order to keep up with changing fashion trends.
