An old market town that has actively rebuilt its market trade: Wickford Market runs every Saturday, 9am-3.30pm, on Market Lane, with up to 20 traders including a fishmonger, an artisan bread bakery and fashion stalls. It has been managed by Love Markets since October 2024.

The Wickford Business Improvement District launched on 1 January 2025 alongside Billericay's, giving town-centre businesses a funded body for marketing, events and infrastructure, a rare thing in a town this size and a sign of an organised trader base.

A railway town: Wickford grew commercially after the railway arrived in 1889, and the station is a junction, the Shenfield-Southend line to London Liverpool Street (about 40 minutes) plus the Crouch Valley branch to Southminster.

Flood engineering shapes the town centre, the River Crouch runs through Wickford in a concrete channel built after the severe floods of 1958 and 1960.

Wickford had a recorded population of about 27,601 at the 2021 census.
