The UK retail sector is highly fragmented, with about 200,000 retailing enterprises registered for VAT, according to Barclays Bank plc. The players have been operating in an increasingly competitive environment, although the sector remains healthy – the industry's output has risen at a much faster rate than total GDP growth over the last ten years. This overview of the retail industry shows the risks and opportunities for different sub sectors within UK retail, including food, drink and tobacco; clothing & footwear; department stores and other non-food retailers.
