The value sector commands a fifth of the clothing market - virtually double its share of 1999. But the value clothing market faces one of its most challenging years. After four years of relatively strong growth in the clothing market, much of it driven by the value retailers, in 2005 a downturn in consumer spending, plus rising costs, is making trading much more difficult for clothing retailers - and this includes value retailers. The value sector is becoming a two tier market with the Top Seven controlling two fifths of the market.
