Opticians - UK - February 2008

The UK retail market for opticians is mature, with stiff competition. Most major chains are reaching saturation, with few opportunities for expansion into new towns, and competitive conditions are squeezing margins. Despite this, in the two years since Mintel last reported on this market, sales have still managed to grow by 9.2% to an estimated value of £2,656 million, representing 6.4% growth with inflation stripped out.
