Abstracts

Ongoing economic uncertainty hindered sales of furniture and furnishings stores at the end of the review period, with constant value sales seeing a marginal decline in 2011 over the previous year. Following the 2009 economic downturn and ongoing uncertainty about the global economy, many consumers cut back on major purchases. Consequently, furniture and furnishings were increasingly purchased only when needed, rather than in order to keep up with changing fashion trends.
