Recent footfall data from Huq Industries reveals nuanced trends in footfall, dwell time, and weekday visitation across various UK regions for local retail centres as of week 44, 2024.
Local Retail Centres Daily Footfall
Regional Analysis
In the West Midlands, the average daily footfall slightly decreased week on week while the average visit dwell time in the latest week saw a decrease from the previous week. However, the year-on-year comparison shows a good increase in dwell time, indicating a longer engagement at retail centres compared to the same period last year.
The South West region faced a more challenging scenario with a significant decrease in footfall. Despite this, the average visit dwell time increased year on year, suggesting that those who do visit are spending more time at the centres.
London shows a positive trend with a slight year-on-year increase in footfall and a notable increase in dwell time, continuing recent trends and bucking the sector trend.
