Value Clothing Retailers

The value sector commands a fifth of the clothing market, double its share of 1999, but faces a challenging year. After relatively strong growth in the clothing market, falling consumer spending, plus rising costs, is making trading more difficult for clothing retailers - including value retailers. The value sector is becoming two tier, with the Top Seven taking two fifths share.
