The Italian market for clothing & footwear
Article Abstract:
Italy's retail market for clothing and footwear was examined in relation to sales and future trends. The data used covered the years 1995-1998 with forecasts made up to the year 2001. Among the highlights of the study were the shift to private labels by consumers due to the economic recession and the dynamism of the women's wear sector. This sector registered an 11.1% value increase from 1995 to 1998. Other notable trends in the market were the convergence towards manufacturers and distributors and the rise of hypermarkets, chain stores and variety stores.
