Highlights
Another difficult year ahead with stronger growth in Q2 – but entirely driven by inflation. Even with soft comparatives growth is set to be weak and continue to be so. Retailers are going to have to work much harder to win share of consumer spending.
Within non food only clothing & footwear and health & beauty are expected to see any growth in Q2, both driven by inflation, with the return of VAT to 17.5%. The weakness of sterling and high cotton costs place further inflationary pressures.
Easing food inflation depresses growth, due to falling commodity prices and fewer seasonal fluctuations.
