Summary

Highlights

The 14.7bn department store sector enjoyed its second consecutive year of growth in 2007 following two years of decline. The resurgence of M&S in 2006 was a key factor in this revival, but in 2007 it was the premium/luxury retailers that were the main drivers of growth.

The three largest premium operators have outperformed the rest of the market consistently over the past six years - indeed in 2007 they collectively produced growth of 11.3% compared with overall market growth of 3.5%.

The addition of 1.9m sq ft of new department store space in 2008 will ensure further growth in the market, despite macroeconomic conditions.
