PROSPECTS AND OPPORTUNITIES
Outlook remains challenging
The outlook for apparel and footwear specialists in the Netherlands remains challenging, with outlet numbers expected to decline further amid intense e-commerce competition. Rising staff, rent and inventory costs will continue to strain the financial health of both independent and chain retailers.
Chains will close less profitable outlets
The expected decline in the number of outlets will stem from both bankruptcies and strategic closures by successful retail chains. To remain competitive, brick-and-mortar apparel and footwear specialists will focus on shutting down underperforming locations while expanding their most profitable stores.
Uniqlo will emerge as major competitor
Uniqlo sees strong growth potential in the Netherlands, especially as expansion opportunities in Asian markets become more limited. Until recently, the brand's presence in the Dutch market was modest, with only two outlets.

DISCLAIMER
Apparel and Footwear Specialists
Apparel and footwear specialists are chained or independent retail outlets with a primary focus on selling one or more of the following categories: clothing, footwear, and/or fashion accessories (costume jewellery, sunglasses, belts, hats, gloves, handbags, scarves, etc.). Apparel specialists include specialty apparel like wedding dress shops. Example brands include Primark, TJ Maxx, and Zara. Sportswear retailers, such as Adidas and Nike, are excluded from this channel and are included in Sports Goods Stores; this is due to the companies considering themselves sports companies as opposed to apparel companies.
