has become fragmented and distributed across the market. However, from 2009 it
will be the larger players which absorb the majority of the extra capacity.
Smaller retailers will continue to exit the market, unable to cope with the
torrid conditions.

Grocers are set to be big winners in homewares. Their convenience, value
credentials and growing homewares ranges will appeal to shoppers seeking value
during the recession. Sainsbury and Morrison continue to expand their offers,
while Tesco and Asda have boosted sales through extra space and their
multichannel 'Direct' offers.

spiral. The heavy discounting of 2008 will ease considerably.
