Internet takes over as catalogues slow down
The UK’s GBP37bn (EUR53bn) home delivery sector grew by just 3.2% in 2005, little more than half 2004’s growth rate of 5.6%, according to Verdict Research.
A slide in sales at traditional mail operators and consumer reluctance to make big-ticket furniture purchases was behind the slowdown, the researcher said.
“While sales via the internet and TV shopping channels made impressive strides, they have not been enough to prevent a sharp drop in growth in the UKs home delivery market overall, said Nick Gladding of Verdict. Mail order home delivery sales are down GBP585m (EUR842m) on 2002 levels while door-to-door channel sales growth levels have plummeted from 10% in 2004 to just 1.2% in 2005.” Internet sales, however, increased by 28.9% last year, and for the first time more than half of all home delivery shoppers placed orders online.

Over half of all home-delivery shoppers say they place orders online, compared to under a quarter two years ago. The findings come from a report by retail authority Verdict Research into the home-delivery business. The #37bn business has been in a state of steady decline despite booming sales through online and TV shopping. While Internet sales have increased 28.9%, they have been unable to counter the losses in the mail order and door-to-door sales sector.
