EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
In 1996, the UK's footwear manufacturing and
distribution market grew by 7.5 percent, according to the British Footwear Association
(BFA), to stand at £2.3bn. Between 1992 and 1996, the market grew by
31.4 percent. This shows that whilst the industry is still struggling hard against the
flood of low priced imports, it is gradually carving a niche as an
international centre of quality high-end footwear manufacture.
The UK
shoe retail market has experienced several years of stagnation, owing largely
to reduced margins following increasing competition. Several leading retailers
have closed outlets, most notably the Sears group, although other, largely more
niche focused chains, have expanded. In 1996, the retail market was valued at
£5.36bn, up 7.1 percent over 1995.
Although in 1996, British exports of
footwear grew and the percentage of footwear sold in Britain that was made in
Britain was 17.7 percent, this contrasts poorly with 30 years previously, when 79 percent of
the UK footwear market was British made shoes.
1996 and 1997 have been
gloomy times for the British footwear industry, despite growth in sectors of
the market. The industry has been negatively affected by the decline in
employment in the manufacturing industry following several large-scale factory
closures, the unrelenting attack from cheap imports bolstered by the strong
pound, and the financial troubles that have led to several leading High Street
retailers exiting the market or being put up for sale.
It is forecast
that the footwear market will continue to grow in value terms until the year
2001, as the wider British economy continues to recover. The retail market is
expected to be worth £6.5bn in 2001.
