Week 24 2025: Local Retail Centres Footfall Retail Performance Update
During week 24 2025, UK local retail centres maintained a balanced trend with a mean daily footfall of 14,400. Footfall retail and footfall analytics point to steady performance across regions, with varying patterns of consumer engagement.
In the week ending 2025‑06‑22, aggregate visitation trends across UK local retail centres exhibited a steady pattern, with key indicators showing a mean daily footfall of 14,400. This reflects a modest week‑on‑week increase alongside a slight year‑on‑year reduction. Notably, consumer engagement, as evidenced by an average dwell time of 96 minutes, remained robust, even though a minor decline was observed in the recent period.
When examined regionally, England closely mirrored the overall figures, maintaining an average daily footfall of 14,400 and a slightly higher dwell time of 97 minutes, thanks to a modest uplift both week‑on‑week and annually. Conversely, Scotland recorded an average of 13,100 daily visitors, with no recent change compared to the previous week and a modest annual drop, while dwell time held firm at 97 minutes despite a recent dip, ultimately showing an annual uplift in engagement.
Wales, although registering the lowest daily footfall at 12,500, experienced a week‑on‑week increase and a positive annual change. Dwell time in Wales averaged 96 minutes, and while the most recent week saw a downturn in this metric, annual numbers indicate a modest decline. These nuanced regional trends underscore varying consumer behavior patterns, highlighting the overall resilience of local retail.
Complementary footfall counting measures further confirm these observed trends, bolstering the narrative of steady performance in local retail centres.
Joe Capocci, spokesperson for Huq Industries, commented on the performance trends: “The noticeable week‑on‑week uplift in Wales, combined with constructive retail industry news, supports our observation of steady performance in local retail centres.”
