Report Highlights
Highlights

More shoppers are visiting department stores. 49.0% of all UK shoppers make regular purchases at department stores, the highest level it has been in the last nine years. The 3.3 percentage point increase on the previous year is the greatest uplift since 2003 and has partly been driven by more frequent, well advertised promotional days.

Men have also grown their share of all department store shoppers by 2.8 percentage points to 42.1%. The proportion of male department store shoppers has grown in five of the eight sectors, with the exception of clothing, footwear and personal care, highlighting the growing appeal of department stores across a broad range of sectors.

The sector where department stores have gained the greatest share of that sector's shoppers is food & grocery. This has largely been achieved through Marks & Spencer offering more promotions on its food offer such as the 'Dine for two for £10' offer.
