UK Supermalls Market Trends

Supermalls are regarded as prime locations for many retailers as they enable retailers to showcase the best of their proposition, as well as supplement retail with leisure facilities. Hence companies are enticed to invest in these locations given the expectation of high footfall. Supermalls would further benefit from working with new retailers, whose presence is predominantly on high streets, to open flagship stores in these locations.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic and its aftermath, coupled with the ongoing cost-of-living crisis, consumers are limiting their spending on non-essential products. This has led to retailers closing stores in supermalls. Moreover, increased rents and energy prices have led to retailers being forced to back out of contracts earlier than expected, leaving less time to find successors and leaving vacant units in supermalls.

UK Supermalls Market Segmentation by Sectors

The key sectors in the UK supermall market are clothing & footwear, health & beauty, electricals, homewares, food & grocery, furniture & floorcoverings, DIY & gardening, among others. Clothing & footwear continues to be the strongest sector in the supermalls market and experienced the highest growth rate in 2022. The retailers in this sector have been performing well in supermalls, with expansions into bigger units coming as the next logical step.

Segments Covered in the Report

UK Supermalls Market Sectors Outlook (Value, GBP Billion, 2017-2027)

  • Clothing & Footwear
  • Health & Beauty
  • Electricals
  • Homewares
  • Food & Grocery
  • Furniture & Floorcoverings
  • DIY & Gardening

Scope

  • Retailer investment will ensure clothing & footwear remains the prevalent sector as players such as Primark and H&M update and open key stores.
  • Primark is the most visited retailer for clothing & footwear as its large, destination stores appeal to a broad audience.
  • The variety of retailers, leisure and food services drives the appeal of supermalls as 45.3% of visitors prefer supermalls over other locations because of the wide choice of retailers.

Key Highlights

Clothing & footwear continues to be a dominant sector in the UK supermalls market, with sales up over 10% between 2022 and 2027. As many supermall locations are heavily saturated with clothing & footwear retailers, this sector is key in driving growth in the market with these retailers achieving robust growth in 2022 and into 2023.

Electricals has the lowest projected growth in the forecast period, up 1% between 2022 and 2027. This is due in part to the offline electricals market being forecast to remain relatively flat in the coming years, with growth in the overall market being driven by the online channel.

Though consumers have been visiting supermalls less often in 2023, down on 2022, the time spent in supermalls has increased on the previous year.

GlobalData Analytics and visualisation solutions has contributed positively when preparing management presentations and strategic papers.”

Business Intelligence & Marketing Manager, SAL Heavy Lift

“COVID-19 has caused significant interference to our business and the COVID-19 intelligence from GlobalData has helped us reach better decisions around strategy. These two highlights have helped enormously to understand the projections into the future concerning our business units, we also utilise the project database to source new projects for Liebherr-Werk to use as an additional source to pitch for new business.”

Market Analyst & Management, Liebherr-Werk

Your daily news has saved me a lot of time and keeps me up-to-date with what is happening in the market, I like that you almost always have a link to the source origin. We also use your market data in our Strategic Business Process to support our business decisions. By having everything in one place on the Intelligence Center it has saved me a lot of time versus looking on different sources, the alert function also helps with this.

Head of Key Accounts, Saab AB

Having used several other market research companies, I find that GlobalData manages to provide that ‘difficult-to-get’ market data that others can’t, as well as very diverse and complete consumer surveys.

Marketing Intelligence Manager, Portugal Foods

Our experience with GlobalData has been very good, from the platform itself to the people. I find that the analysts and the account team have a high level of customer focus and responsiveness and therefore I can always rely on. The platform is more holistic than other providers. It is convenient and almost like a one stop shop. The pricing suite is highly competitive and value for our organisation.

I like reports that inform new segments such as the analysis on generation Z, millennials, the impact of COVID 19 to our banking customers and their new channel habits. Secondly the specialist insight on affluent sector significantly increases our understanding about this group of customers. The combination of those give us depth and breadth of the evolving market.

I’m in the business of answering and helping people make decisions so with the intelligence center I can do that, effectively and efficiently. I can share quickly key insights that answer and satisfy our country stakeholders by giving them many quality studies and primary research about competitive landscape beyond the outlook of our bank. It helps me be seen as an advisory partner and that makes a big difference. A big benefit of our subscription is that no one holds the whole data and because it allows so many people, so many different parts of our organisation have access, it enables all teams to have the same level of knowledge and decision support.

Head of Customer Insight and Research, Standard Chartered

“I know that I can always rely on Globaldata’s work when I’m searching for the right consumer and market insights. I use Globaldata insights to understand the changing market & consumer landscape and help create better taste & wellbeing solutions for our customers in food, beverage and healthcare industries.

Globaldata has the right data and the reports are of very high quality compared to your competitors. Globaldata not only has overall market sizes & consumer insights on food & beverages but also provides insights at the ingredient & flavour level. That is key for B2B companies like Givaudan. This way we understand our customers’ business and also gain insight to our unique industry”

Head of Consumer Sensory Insights, Givaudan

GlobalData provides a great range of information and reports on various sectors that is highly relevant, timely, easy to access and utilise.  The reports and data dashboards help engagement with clients; they provide valuable industry and market insights that can enrich client conversations and can help in the shaping of value propositions. Moreover, using GlobalData products has helped increase my knowledge of the finance sector, the players within it, and the general threats and opportunities.

I find the consumer surveys that are carried out to be extremely beneficial and not something I have seen anywhere else. They provided an insightful view of why and which consumers take (or don’t) particular financial products. This can help shape conversations with clients to ensure they make the right strategic decisions for their business.

One of the challenges I have found is that data in the payments space is often piecemeal. With GD all of the data I need is in one place, but it also comes with additional market reports that provide useful extra context and information. Having the ability to set-up alerts on relevant movements in the industry, be it competitors or customers, and have them emailed directly to me, ensures I get early sight of industry activity and don’t have to search for news.
