DEFINING THE MARKET

According to figures from the Office for National Statistics (ONS), total consumer expenditure on leisure goods, services and activities reached £134bn in 1998, an increase of 6.6 percent on 1997. In the period from 1994 to 1998, consumer expenditure in the leisure market has increased by 25.5 percent, a slightly higher increase than the growth in total consumer expenditure. Increased personal disposable income (PDI), in addition to a greater range of leisure options, have encouraged an increase in leisure spending. Increased car ownership has also enabled more leisure options to be accessible, while technological improvements have brought higher-quality leisure products to UK homes.
By 1998, leisure spending accounted for 25.6 percent of all consumer spending. Within a market that is growing steadily, the strongest growth areas since 1994, have been betting and gaming; cinema admissions; eating out; and entertainment software including compact discs (CDs), tapes, electronic games and videos. Less encouraging has been the apparent decline in the number of adults participating in healthy activities such as sports and walking.
In July 1999, Key Note commissioned The Gallup Organization Ltd to interview 1,046 adults to ask them about their leisure activities during the week and at weekends. The most popular activity during the week was eating out (mentioned by 85 percent of respondents), while the predominantly home-based activity of listening to music or the radio was the second most popular option. At weekends, the emphasis is on spending time with families and friends, or travelling on day trips or longer breaks.

EATING AND DRINKING

The restaurant and fast-food market has been one of the most buoyant sectors of the UK economy in recent years, boosted by an increased in PDI and the expansion of various branded chains and eating concepts which have increased consumer choice. In 1998, the restaurant and fast-food market was valued at £13.45bn, an increase of 8.3 percent on 1997, with pub-restaurants, fast-food outlets and premium pasta outlets all performing well. The themed restaurant market, a strong growth sector until recently, has struggled to maintain sales in recent months.
Public house (pub) turnover was £13.65bn in 1998, an increase of 1.5 percent on 1997. The relatively modest sales increase comes in an industry where outlet numbers are declining, so sales per pub have been increasing more strongly. The branded pub chains are starting to dominate the sector, and most of these have turned to food to compensate for declining drinks sales. In 1998, 15.4 percent of pub turnover came from meals, double the percentage in 1988. Drink driving laws and the increasing popularity of entertaining at home have encouraged more drinking at home, while the pub sector is becoming increasingly segmented with pubs aimed at the after-office trade, rural pubs for tourists, family pubs and themed pubs.

LEISURE AT HOME

Leisure at home encompasses a number of activities including home viewing, home listening, games, and do-it-yourself (DIY) and gardening. All these markets have experienced some growth in recent years.

Home Viewing and Listening

Sales of home viewing durables, such as televisions and video cassette recorders (VCRs), have grown modestly, with technological advances boosting sales and some consumers switching from rented equipment to purchased. Sales of home audio systems have remained static at around £1bn, with cheaper priced products limiting sales growth. The video and audio consumables markets have been growing healthily in value terms as sales of prerecorded videos and CDs continue to grow. The video market is facing increasing competition from digital video discs (DVDs) and players.
Television broadcasting is still led by the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) which in 1998, commanded 41 percent of the viewing audience. In 1998, licences were granted for over 400 television channels, mainly satellite, and the terrestrial channels are facing growing competition from these new offerings. Digital TV was launched by BSkyB in late 1998, followed by On-Digital, and the digital environment will be the environment where the battle for audiences is fought in the next few years. Digital radio is also here and, in the latest radio audience figures, commercial radio audiences are now greater than the audiences for the combined BBC radio stations.

DIY and Gardening

A number of popular television programmes have helped to stimulate more interest in DIY and gardening. The DIY market increased by 7.1 percent in 1998 to £6.8m, while the horticultural products sector was less buoyant (growing by just 0.5 percent to £2.5bn). The poor summer weather in 1998 did little to help horticultural sales.

Games

Younger adults continue to spend heavily in the video and electronic games market, increased substantially in value by 38.3 percent in 1998 to £650m. The launch of the Dreamcast system in autumn 1999, should boost sales further, while the personal computer (PC) games market will be a growth area in the next few years. The board game and jigsaw market, in contrast, is showing little sign of growth.

CINEMAS AND LIVE ENTERTAINMENT

Cinema revenues of £501m in 1998 were up by 2.9 percent on 1997, and, apart from a fall in the mid-1990s, the number of admissions has been growing year-on-year. Films are especially popular with young adults, particularly films heralded before their release by a wave of publicity and hype, but they are also one of the few out-of-home leisure pursuits that can still be enjoyed as a family occasion. The development of multiplexes and megaplexes has introduced some flexibility in cinema schedules, and offered convenience for car-owning cinema goers. Additional features such as improved catering facilities, games areas and cinema shops, have also boosted sales per visit.
If the cinema has managed to survive as a leisure experience at the end of the 20th century, other live arts such as the theatre, opera, ballet and music concerts, remain the poor relation in terms of marketing and mass-market appeal. The subsidised theatre sector remains financially weak, while consolidation is a feature of the commercial sector.

OTHER MEDIA AND PUBLISHING

The publishing market has experienced mixed fortunes in recent times, with magazine sales remaining at a reasonable level of growth, book sales performing well, and newspaper readership and sales in decline. Consumer expenditure on reading materials was £5.79bn in 1998, virtually unchanged on 1997. The book market increased by 5.3 percent in 1998, helped by price reductions following the abolition of the Net Book Agreement (NBA) and nationwide promotional activities to encourage reading, especially by youngsters. Magazine sales increased by 1.8 percent to £1.41bn, although there were one or two failures in a highly competitive market. Newspaper circulations continue to fall, despite price cuts and promotions, with busy lifestyles and other delivery channels such as television and the Internet reducing the dependence on newspapers. All the leading magazines and newspapers now have websites. In addition, book retailing on the Internet has become a core part of the UK bookselling sector, with traditional retailers joining the purely Internet-based suppliers such as Amazon.com.

SPORTING ACTIVITIES

The sports market was valued at £3.37bn in 1998, an increase of 4.9 percent on the 1997 value. The dynamics of the market are interesting and suggest that, underlying this growth in market value, overall consumer interest in sports is declining. The growth in the market has largely come from increased sales of sports equipment, suggesting that consumers are trading up to better quality products. However, the percentage of adults participating and watching live sports appears to be declining. Participation in traditional club sports is falling, while individual sports such as cycling, training/running and climbing are gaining in popularity.
Televised sports may be having an effect on the decline in popularity of live sports attendance, although watching sports on television also appears to be on the decline.

SHORT BREAKS AND TOURIST ATTRACTIONS

Tourism in the UK is increasing, with both the number of overseas visitors and the number of UK residents taking breaks in the UK, on the increase. Expenditure by overseas visitors to the UK increased by 4.6 percent in 1998, to £12.81bn.
The most popular attractions by category are beauty spots and gardens attracting 26.4 percent of adults in 1998. Museums, stately homes and other places of interest continue to be popular. However, the most popular single attraction is Alton Towers with over 2.8 million visitors in 1998.

GAMBLING

Since the advent of The National Lottery, gambling has become accepted as part of the mainstream leisure industry. Other sectors of the gambling market which have performed well in recent years include the revamped bingo sector, gaming machines and casinos. The traditional mass-market betting system, the football pools, has struggled in the wake of the widespread take-up of The National Lottery. Net gambling sales were estimated at £6.77bn in 1998, a 7 percent increase on 1997.
