Retail Occasions Series: UK Summer 2025

Summary

The UK Summer 2025 report forms part of the Retail Occasions series, and offers a comprehensive overview of the major retail occasion of summer. The report analyses the market, the major players, the main trends and consumer attitudes.

The proportion of consumers shopping for summer decreased from the previous year after a significant uptick in 2024. A decrease in leisure spending drove this decline, as more consumers opted for free leisure activities such as visiting family and friends or relaxing in their gardens this year. Retail penetration fell due to ongoing cost pressures. In fact, over half of consumers cited the rising cost of living as a reason for reducing their spending this year.

Scope
  • The proportion of consumers shopping for summer decreased from the previous year following a significant uptick in 2024.
  • Almost a third of summer shoppers spent more on food & grocery as inflation drove spend.
  • More summer shoppers purchased from value and discount retailers for summer holiday items in 2025.
Reasons to Buy
  • Use our in-depth consumer insight to learn which summer product categories are shopped the most by consumers and to ensure that product offers are catering to the needs and wants of customers.
  • Understand what drives consumers to use a retailer for their purchases, such as range, price and quality in order to maximise sales potential.
  • Use our average spend data to understand how much consumers are spending in each summer category.

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
