Furniture and Floorcoverings Retailing in the UK|

Verdict Market ReportIs Released

Summary The UK furniture and floorcoverings market is set to enter a period of continued growth over
the next five years, though the pace of the recovery will fluctuate. In this report we take a look at how
this growth is distributed by channel and sub sector, together with analysis of the implications of these
forecasts for retailers. Key Findings - Use our market share and channels of distribution to find out which
retailers and channels pose the biggest threat - Identify growth drivers and inhibitors and implement our
strategies to boost sales and maximise opportunities in the furniture and floorcoverings sector Synopsis
While furniture specialists have made significant progress in online, they must continue to work on
better linking this channel with their stores. In 2015, IKEA is trialling click and collect in its stores. With
websites being used for pre-purchase research, retailers must ensure that their websites are easy to
navigate and be informative. We forecast that kitchens will achieve the greatest uplift in sales between
2015 and 2020, up 20.7% on 2015. This will be driven by improvements the market leader BandQ is
doing to improve its offer, the continued expansion of Wren Living, the more buoyant housing market
and homeowners spending more time in their kitchens. In both furniture and floorcoverings, we forecast
that the multiple specialists will gain the most amount of share, as customers continue making furniture
purchases, open more stores and continue to develop their online presence. In both sectors, this growth
will largely be at the expense of independents, who struggle to compete on price and range.
