Plus-Size Women's Clothing Stores in the UK - Market Size, Industry Analysis, Trends and Forecasts (2024-2029)

Wrong size: Industry revenue is expected to contract in 2023-24 due to constrained spending caused by the cost-of-living crisis

In the UK's plus size women's clothing stores industry, revenue is expected to decrease at a compound annual rate of 3.7% over the five years through 2023-24, to £708 million; including a forecast decline of 0.6% in the current year. This decline can be attributed to uncertain economic conditions and the COVID-19 pandemic, which resulted in reduced sales of non-essential items. The increased risk of COVID-19 among the overweight led to consumers making a more concerted effort to manage their weight, lowering revenue.

Businesses in this industry retail plus-size women's clothing, which is designed for women that wear clothes of size 14 and above. The industry only includes firms that cater specifically to plus-size women with either a physical or online store. The industry excludes generalist clothing stores with plus size ranges.

This report covers the scope, size, disposition and growth of the industry including the key sensitivities and success factors. Also included are five year industry forecasts, growth rates and an analysis of the industry key players and their market shares.
