Boston, MA -- (SBWIRE) -- 06/27/2014 -- Homewares showed modest value growth of 1% in 2012 to reach ?3 billion. The category is thriving with interest from the public thanks to celebrity endorsement and the ?don?t move, improve? trend. However, this translates into consumers buying more in volume terms but with slower growth in value sales due to the increasing polarisation and popularity of cheaper items and private label products, and competition among retailers that results in price reductions.

Competitive Landscape

Homewares is a very fragmented category with no clear leader. Numerous small players are present, with private label holding the largest share. Companies tend to specialise on few product categories and therefore look small at overall level. IKEA is the largest company as it operates across most of the categories in homewares.
