Dunelm's performance is particularly commendable against a weak homeware market that will contract by 9.5% in 2020 as a result of financial uncertainty and reduced social gatherings. GlobalData expects the home specialist to remain the market leader in homeware this year, with its share set to grow 1.2ppts to 8.8%, far outpacing competitors such as IKEA, which will maintain a flat share of 5.4%. With £175.2m in net cash under its belt and increased home delivery fulfilment and warehousing capacity, Dunelm is well placed to navigate through the upcoming peak trading period and unpredictable Covid-19 headwinds.
