Report Highlights

Marginal growth returned to the market in 2012, and will accelerate through each quarter in 2013. While the housing market will not rebound until 2014, the anticipation from consumers that the housing slump is coming to an end will generate increased demand in homewares, as shoppers begin to think about improving their homes.

The housing market should start to pick up in the latter part of 2014, with a significant rise in housing transactions. There will be a level of pent up demand once the housing market does recover, however this will be far less evident than in harder hit sectors such as furniture & floorcoverings.

Value will become ever more important. With expansion of value players such as Dunelm Mill and The Range, and a continued non-food focus from the grocers, price competition will continue to increase, especially in textiles.
