Leading Developers, Investors in the Retail Sector - current property portfolios 2015, Major Projects, Future Investments and Development Plans.Total UK retail sales have been boosted by an increase in online sales in recent years and the industry has performed strongly to date in 2015, with food sales generally buoyant. In addition, returning consumer confidence has underpinned increasing big ticket, non-essential purchases. Retail construction output saw a return to growth in 2013 driven by a slight uplift in consumer confidence, followed by a 2% increase in 2014 as positive factors such as low inflation and interest rates, rising real incomes and positive house price growth continued to support the market.
Retail construction, whilst challenging for the contractor and offering slim margins, does offer repeated high volumes of work, especially in the grocery sector. Sectors such as food retail where capital expenditure has remained relatively strong so far have been areas offering opportunities for contractors throughout the downturn, which helped to maintain order books and work pipelines. However, the retail market continues to be driven by structural changes due to the growth of online shopping. Profit margins for traditional retailers continue to be squeezed by non-store and online sales, rapidly changing consumer habits and intense competition from discounters such as Aldi and Lidl.
Whilst retail contractors are set to see more work coming through in 2016, the value and size of projects have changed with an emphasis on smaller refurbishment, particularly for the convenience and discount sectors in urban locations. Store rationalisation by many of the largest grocery and non-food chains looks likely to continue, with non-food retailers in particular focusing on major national hubs in shopping centres and out-of-town retail parks. This trend has led to an imbalance between demand and availability for prime retail space, a situation that is likely to remain due to the lack of new developments. A return to increasing real wages and consumer spending growth is expected to continue to support retail sector recovery and a gradual increase in demand for shopfitting services and a rolling out of wider store refurbishment programmes by retailers.
The extent and speed of the recovery for retail will remain heavily dependent upon the levels of consumer confidence and spending and, given these positive economic factors which have continued into 2015, current forecasts indicate total annual output increases of between 3-4% to 2019. Into the medium-term, the retail sector is facing significant structural changes with the continuing growth of internet shopping likely to increase demand for warehousing space to service this growth but also declining demand for traditional retail outlets, particularly in high street locations. However, the retail sector faces significant structural changes as consumers are increasingly forecast to employ different shopping methods such as online home delivery, as well as click and collect. This means that a significant proportion of investment for the retail sector is likely to be in warehousing and distribution centres to service these new shopping methods.
