Baby Nursery Market Overview
I always look forward to my copy of Nursery Today to arrive through the post, and the August 08 edition was no exception. A quick flick through and I always seem to end up at the excellent Nursery Retail Tracking Service section. It comments, an interesting month with no signs of a downturn in the Nursery market in spite of the rest of the retail sector suffering. As of May 08 the market was up 14% in value and +19% in volume compared to the same time last year.
Parents appear to still be spending to ensure their little ones have the necessary equipment to be safe and sound and as a result, the following areas are up:
Wheeled goods
Car seats
Travel cots
Safety devices
Seats
Electrics
Bathroom
However, suffering this month were:
Carriers
As the summer holidays are upon us, the travel cots help drive up the market as people decide to get away for a few days, something I am thinking about as I write this !
