Womenswear Stores in Australia - Industry Market Research Report

Womenswear Stores in Australia

Operators in the Womenswear Stores industry have faced varied trading conditions over the past five years. Volatile consumer sentiment and intense competition have defined the retail environment. Many consumers have become more cautious, cutting expenditure on discretionary items and saving rather than spending. This trend has continued throughout much of the five-year period, as consumers have remained apprehensive about global economic conditions. However, heavy investment in online sales channels has supported many industry operators over the period, particularly the larger players. Industry revenue is expected to rise at an annualised 0.4% over the five years through 2022-23, to $10.1 billion. This trend includes an increase of 1.8% in the current year, driven by rising consumer optimism.
