Highlights
Menswear spending shrank by -1.3% in 2009. As we predicted it fell faster than womenswear and childrenswear as it was the first item to be cut from families' clothing budgets during the downturn.
We predict a return to growth, of 4.8%, in menswear spending in 2010 despite weak consumer optimism, fears about tax rises and public sector redundancies and falling real incomes. However, this will be driven by price inflation, which has returned to the menswear market after more than a decade of falling prices.
M&S remains the market leader in menswear with a share of 11.3% in 2010. Though it has improved menswear ranges, particularly in formalwear, it has been impacted by advances by grocers on entry price point merchandise and clothing basics, causing its market share to decline in 2010.
