Summary

Online retailing not just a novelty

In the mature phase of its life cycle, the highly competitive nature of this industry is likely to provide the impetus for further price competition between operators as they battle for market share. This climate of heightened competition may see the emergence of more alliances and joint ventures, with some retailers folding while others expand. Growth in online retailers and mass merchandisers will also shape this industry.

This industry comprises establishments primarily engaged in retailing new gifts, novelty merchandise, souvenirs, greeting cards, seasonal and holiday decorations, and curios. This report covers the scope, size, disposition and growth of the industry including the key sensitivities and success factors. Also included are five year industry forecasts, growth rates and an analysis of the industry key players and their market shares.
