Back in 2014, following a cycle of distress and failures after the global financial crisis, Deloitte published research and analysis predicting it would be the high street rather than shopping centres or retail parks that would prove most resilient over the coming years. Given the upheavals and structural shifts that have impacted the market since then, now would seem a good time to revisit our optimistic prediction of 2014.
[Please note that Deloitte was unable to publish this report in the Autumn as originally planned due to the lockdown in November 2020. As a result the data used in the report only goes as far as Q3 2020.]
