Back to school spend is shifting to earlier in the summer, influenced by promotions as retailers vie for a greater share of consumer spend.

- 47.6% of back to school shoppers stated that they have spent more on this occasion compared to last year, driven by categories within uniform and stationery.
- ASDA is the most popular retailer for school uniform as 38.4% of uniform shoppers purchased from the grocer.
- Value for money and low prices are the two most important drivers of retailer selection for stationery purchases, and as discounters and value retailers improve their ranges, consumers will increasingly expect items at low prices.
