AbstractWhen Mintel last reported on the clubs industry in 2000, total admissions and expenditure had fallen due to increasing competition from the growing number of pubs and bars with late-night licences. These establishments were able to offer their customers attractive drinks prices, a DJ with music and entertainment and a dance floor and were being successful in siphoning off customers who previously only went to a club to be able to drink after normal closing time.
The larger club operations were less affected by this trend because late-night operators cannot compete with their large-scale dancing venues in terms of atmosphere, but the smaller independent clubs which had previously benefited from having a virtual local monopoly on late-night drinking had been badly hit. Two years on, competition from the high street is still impacting on the industry but this time the focus has shifted more to drinks pricing.
This report assesses the current status of the nightclub industry and reports on its future prospects. Mintel last reported on clubs in its report Nightclubs & Discotheques, Leisure Intelligence - UK Report, November 2000.
