Fashion Drives UK Retail Growth in September
UK retail sales saw moderate growth in September 2024, with the fashion sector playing a leading role. As we approach the crucial ‘golden quarter’—the final months of the year when retailers typically see peak sales—this positive trend hints at strong consumer confidence in fashion purchases.
In-Store Sales Outpace Online Growth
Retailers in the UK reported that in-store sales outpaced online growth in September. While online sales momentum has slowed down, shoppers are returning to brick-and-mortar stores, especially for fashion items. Despite this uptick, overall sales volumes still sit below pre-pandemic levels. Retailers remain hopeful that the upcoming golden quarter will push numbers even higher, as they gear up with new collections and promotions.
