Description

List of Tables

The GlobalData Retail Channel Series: UK Online Retailing 2024-2029 report offers comprehensive insight and analysis of the online channel in the UK, the main trends and hot issues, major players and consumer shopping behaviour. It also provides forecasts to 2029 across key retail sectors.

In 2024, the UK online retail market saw notable growth, reflecting a steady performance but a slower pace compared to the previous five years. This suggests that the online sector is set to continue its upward trajectory, likely surpassing the overall retail market growth in the coming years. Key sectors and the rising appeal of marketplace formats are expected to contribute significantly to this growth, particularly in areas such as clothing and footwear.

Key Highlights

The online health and beauty market is anticipated to experience substantial growth in 2025, contributing significantly to the overall expansion of the online market out to 2029.
Tesco saw a significant increase in market share from 2023 to 2024. With a robust online presence across multiple sectors, the retailer is emerging as a formidable omnichannel competitor in the online market.
The online food & grocery sector is also poised for significant growth between 2024 and 2029. This growth will be driven by consumers opting to shop online to manage budgets, investments by grocers and broader ranges.
