LONDON – As of 2016, the year was rather challenging for the UK’s department store retailing market, which showed the weakest growth rate (1.7%) since 2009.

In 2016, around 37.7% of shoppers in the UK made purchases at department stores. Meantime, the online department store market held a share of almost 24% of the country’s total department store spend in the previous year.

Growth in the UK department store retailing market is set to gain momentum in the short run, encouraged by the upturn in the premium segment. The health and beauty segment is expected to be the most rapidly growing and best performing one, as retailers use gifting opportunities and also make remarkable investments in more brand and product exclusives.
