Introduction

Verdict Research: UK Music & Video Retailers 2008 provides comprehensive analysis of the music & video market in the UK as many retailers in the sector continue to struggle. The report looks at the dynamics, growth trends and drivers, key indicators and profiles the top operators in the market including Amazon, Asda, HMV, iTunes, Tesco, Zavvi and Woolworths.

Scope

Market size, inflation, sales, space and store numbers, 1998-2008. Includes category sales and forecasts to 2013.
Sales through distribution channels including specialists, non-specialists, pureplay online retailers and grocers, and share of music & video spend.
Analysis and strategic recommendations for key retailers, with market shares, store profile statistics and sales densities for 2003-2008.
Values for the digital download market for both video and music markets, both historically and forecast to 2013.

Highlights

Despite the digital boom, times remain tough for music & video retailers. Though the sector has enjoyed a boost from the rapidly growing digital download market, general trading conditions remain challenging. With the high street consolidating and online becoming increasingly fragmented, competition is intensifying.

With the music and video markets now mature to the point of decline, specialists are looking to other markets to grow sales. Both HMV and Zavvi have made diversifying their range a key part of the strategy. Both are increasing their exposure to categories such as books, merchandise, clothing, electronics, mobile phones and video games.

Online specialists continue to grow - but need to innovate going forward. The potential for them to continue increasing CD and DVD sales is limited - because of falling physical sales in the overall market and robust competition from the remaining high street operators.

Reasons to Purchase

Assess the market's dynamics through robust, exclusive market share and market size data.
Identify the growth prospects with detailed analysis of the key issues and drivers of the market.
Understand each retailer's store portfolio, retail proposition and future outlook.
