Boston, MA -- (SBWIRE) -- 10/15/2014 -- The continued economic recovery, and the ensuing increase in consumer confidence within the local population continue to spur growth on in 2013 in the UAE as womenswear records a growth rate of 8% in retail value terms. With shopping considered an integral part of the social activities for women in the region, the increase in consumer confidence has translated in additional expenditure from this group, supported by the increased population in the region as a result of the Arab Spring and the increase in the number of expatriates in the region. Additionally, tourism continues to be a strong contributor to this growth, with clothing accounting for 70% of tourist shopping, and womenswear, 50% for the latter.

Competitive Landscape

Landmark Group maintains its leadership of womenswear in the UAE with a 13% share of sales in retail value terms, unchanged from 2012. The Group, which consists of a combination of its own label stores and franchises of international brands, has dominated the apparel landscape in the UAE for a number of years. The affordability of its propositions has been a strong factor in achieving that leadership. The Group?s flagship brand, New Look, is an affordable line which appeals to the younger female population, and which was able to do particularly well over the review period, despite this being the time of the economic crisis. Despite the increasingly competitive and crowded environment, the general demand for affordable apparel in the UAE has meant that its businesses have continued to produce strong, if stagnating growth over the last couple of years of the review period.
