Mintel’s Clothing Retail in Europe series scrutinises the clothing market in 19 countries. Each market report includes major and domestic retailers’ profiles, a European outlook, consumer trends, forecasts, and market analysis – invaluable insights for new entrants and existing operators alike.

Each country-specific report answers probing questions across all areas of the sector in that market: what is the impact of non-specialist channels of distribution? Which market leaders will retain their position, and how? What structures are proving effective – partnerships, shop-in-shops, franchised stores, organic openings, acquired units? Who is taking over who, who is being bought-out, and who is moving from public to private? How do cross-border movements affect the market? What trends are forecast, and which players will buck them?
