The coronavirus crisis has led fashion and clothes shoppers to consider issues such as sustainability, social and environmental impact of the clothing industry. In a recent consumer survey where UK consumers were polled, 83 percent of respondents agreed that clothing items should be designed to last longer than they do at present. Around 58 percent of those who took part in the survey advocated government regulation in improving the social and environmental impacts from the clothing sector.

The impact of coronavirus (COVID-19) was felt hard across apparel, and fashion industries. In Europe's clothing sector, compared to the same period in 2019, production fell by 37.4 percent in the period between April-June 2020, when global coronavirus cases reached a peak. Retail sales of clothing products saw the most dramatic decline, with 43.5 percent of drop in sales.

According to a study conducted with German consumers, in the wake of the coronavirus (Covid-19) pandemic, over one-third of consumers were of the opinion that fashion brands could contribute towards bettering the labour conditions of apparel workers to help mitigate the impact of the crisis. The results of the McKinsey report also found out that more than half of those surveyed thought fashion brands had a responsibility to care for the health of its workers.

As per Cognitive Market Research's latest published report, the Global Online Fashion Retail market size was $771.90 Billion in 2022 and it is forecasted to reach $2,755.17 Billion by 2030. Online Fashion Retail Industry's Compound Annual Growth Rate will be 17.37% from 2023 to 2030. Market Dynamics of the Online Fashion Retail Market:

Evolution in online shopping along with the emergence of technologies:

Technological advancement has become the center of life. Most devices such as smartwatches, and mobile phones with multiple accessibilities merge with digital networks. Technologies such as blockchain, and artificial intelligence have pushed online fashion businesses to be more user-friendly which can help customer to fulfill their needs. E-commerce retail platforms which are using several technologies would be able to surge their competitive advantage towards better customer experiences and customizing the products as per their requirements. Artificial Intelligence (AI) is becoming the most popular technology in the online fashion retail industry. AI has the ability to change vast and diverse data into valuable data which helps to exceed cost, speed, and time. Furthermore, Augmented Reality (AR) technology also plays a vital role which provides a real-time view and also magnified computer-generated information.

Restraining Factor:

Lack of close examination and frauds in online shopping:

Many customers want to feel and touch the product in order to identify product quality. Thus, most of the customers prefer to purchase from window shops to touch-feel-try the products which may lead to hinder the market growth to some extent. In addition, the products shown in the pictures are sometimes misleading. The size, colour, and appearance are not images with electronic images. In addition, many people prefer to visit physical stores for examining the product though it consumes time. Further, the online payment mode is not much safe while doing payment transactions. Therefore, retailers and e-marketers are paying attention to finding out a solution to this issue.

However, the emergence of new technologies, good discounts, availability of different brands, time-saving processes, a wide range of products, and safer payment transactions are expected to surge the market growth during the forecast period.

Current Trends on Online Fashion Retail:

Development of new applications in online fashion retail platforms:

Increasing penetration of smartphones and the emergence of new technologies followed by the development of different applications have gained traction in the online fashion retail market. Solutions like Mobile body scanning technology are having a lucrative impact on the online fashion retail market size and shape. In addition, a solution like Mobile Tailor which allows customers to take body measurements remotely and contactless by using just two photos of them enables businesses to expand their reach. Furthermore, YourFit solution also helps shoppers to find out matching online shoppers in order to overcome size issues. Thus, the development of new applications in the fashion world is projected to expand the market growth in the future.

Impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Online Fashion Retail Market:

The outbreak of Covid-19 has significant impact on the global fashion retail market. As governments of several nations announced lockdown and social distancing regulations, the market has faced several damages during the Covid-19 pandemic. However, there are some positive impacts such as the emergence of new technologies i.e. ewallet, 360-degree videos, three-dimensional product view, and trying on clothes with augmented reality has gained traction during a pandemic. The online fashion market has gained traction among young consumers during the outbreak of COVID-19. UK-based eCommerce company BooHoo has reported that during the lockdown their sales has increased by 45% in May 2020.

As the online fashion retail industry is growing, fashion businesses need to adapt to changing circumstances. Due to the high competition in the sector, online fashion businesses have to implement new intelligent solutions which are going to recommend the right product to the right customer in real time.

The Coronavirus crisis changed a number of habits in the Italian population. Did it have an impact also on Italians' opinions about fashion retailers? A survey conducted in July 2020 found that this did not happen for 43 percent of respondents. One out of four people interviewed, however, reported to be considering shopping for clothing and fashion less often after the COVID-19 crisis.

A recent study measuring the sentiment of German consumers towards sustainability and fashion during the Covid pandemic revealed that a large proportion stated they would be altering their fashion consumption habits; 62 percent of those surveyed agreed with the statement “I will be throwing out fashion items less often”, 59 percent agreed with the statement “I will be buying more high-quality items that can last longer” and 53 percent agreed with “I will be repairing fashion items more rather than buying new ones”. However, 22 percent, 29 percent and 34 percent of those consumers surveyed “disagreed” on the same respective statements.

Italian and German consumer perceptions

Studies also measured the opinions of German and Italian consumers as to how they thought fashion retailers should act in response to the pandemic. Over half of German consumers surveyed stated they believed the fashion industry should “care for the health of its employees”. Whereas 37 percent stated fashion industries should “reduce their negative impact on the environment”. The perceptions of consumers in Italy towards the sustainability of fashion industries following the pandemic were noticeably different. 43 percent of Italian consumers surveyed stated “my opinions about fashion retailers haven’t changed that much”. Furthermore, 40 percent “neither agree[d] or disagree[d]” to the statement “coronavirus crisis has made my fashion consumption habits (i.e. purchases, repairs, or disposals of clothing items) more sustainable”.

Online revenues in fashion retail during Coronavirus pandemic

During the coronavirus pandemic, Italy and Germany also had markedly different rates of online ordering of fashion accessories. On April 19th, the rate of online purchases in Italy was 144 percent higher than the year prior. Whereas in Germany during the same week, the rate of online purchases was half that of Italy’s and 73 percent higher than the year prior.

Over the course of the next two weeks from mid-February 2021, consumers in the United States intended to increase their spending on groceries and food for home by nearly 20 percent and household supplies by roughly four percent. Shoppers stated that they expected to decrease their spending for most product categories. Spending on jewelry and accessories was expected to be reduced the most over the measured period.

How was shopping behavior influenced by the pandemic?

Over the many weeks and months since the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic began, consumers around the world and in the United States had exhibited changes in their shopping behavior. In early 2021, specifically, an estimated 85 percent of American shoppers reported that the crisis impacted their usual shopping habits. Some of the changes seen over the past year included reduced spending, an increased interest in online shopping, the use of home delivery options, as well as a decreased convenience store shopping frequency.

What industries were hit the hardest?

During the first months of the coronavirus pandemic, consumers had spent far less than usual on all kinds of items, including out-of-home entertainment, apparel, jewelry, and accessories. Between March and May 2020, related sectors, such as motor vehicles and parts dealers as well as clothing and accessory stores, had seen a heavy decline in sales in contrast to the previous year. By the end of 2020 and the first months of 2021, however, many of the industries had once again experienced positive sales growth numbers.

In late March 2020 when the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic took hold in the United Kingdom (UK), online revenue figures in the fashion retail sector underwent a visible decline, the most steep fall taking place the week ending March 29 by 29 percent. Overall, online revenues in the fashion and accessories category during the crisis have shown improvements from mid-April onwards. The UK government announced the lockdown easing measures on June 23, 2020.

British fashion retailer Next plc is one of the many fashion retailers whose sales plunged due to the coronavirus crisis and the lockdown measures implemented throughout the months of March, April, and May 2020. According to the company's revised financial scenarios for the year, Next plc's full price sales are forecast to recover from the third quarter of 2020. Under a scenario where 35 percent sales drop is predicted overall for the year, sales during the third quarter are projected to go down by 26 percent compared to the same period in the previous year.

The Coronavirus crisis changed a number of habits in the Italian population. Did it have an impact also on Italians' opinions about fashion retailers? A survey conducted in July 2020 found that the opinions of male respondents on the matter changed less than those of females. A biggest share of the latter group, in particular, was considering shopping for clothing and fashion less often after the COVID-19 crisis.

Europe's clothing manufacturing industry is largely driven by its reputation for upscale brands and high-end fashion. Countries like Italy and France have a renowned reputation for manufacturing high-quality apparel, which is in demand globally. As a result, industry revenue largely follows trends in disposable income and consumer spending. Clothing manufacturers have faced challenges brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic, severe inflation and foreign competition. Despite these challenges, the digital revolution has inspired new avenues for growth with the rise of e-commerce, which has become an increasingly central consumer shopping practice. Revenue is expected to slump at a compound annual rate of 5.5% to €97.8 billion over the five years through 2024, including a 3.6% drop in 2024. In 2020, like numerous sectors, the clothing industry took a heavy hit from the COVID-19 outbreak. Temporary restrictions curbed manufacturing activities and closed down physical retail markets, reducing consumer demand for clothes. The industry noticed some recovery as these restrictions eased, and consumers, who'd accumulated savings during lockdown periods, indulged in retail therapy – spending on clothing to bring personal joy. However, soaring inflation in 2022 dampened enthusiasm again. Raw material and energy costs soared, reducing manufacturers' profitability. Inflation has been subsiding since late 2023, though geopolitical tensions, including the Red Sea crisis, are renewing concerns of supply chain disruptions and heightened production costs. Looking forward, Europe’s clothing manufacturers will have to take the rough with the smooth. The growth of online shopping is not likely to slow down. Internationally, Europe maintains a strong reputation for quality, ensuring solid demand for its products. Revenue is forecast to grow at a compound annual rate of 2.8% to €112 billion over the five years through 2029. The challenge of sustainability is also stimulating innovation. The industry will continue to develop green solutions to production and use more eco-friendly materials. Technological advances in AI, 3D printing and automation are another cause for optimism, as these help to increase production efficiency. Personalisation of products is another trend that will drive customer satisfaction and build brand loyalty, thus, supporting demand.

Market Dynamics of Cashmere Clothing Market

Key Drivers for Cashmere Clothing Market

Increasing Demand for Luxury Apparel Drives Cashmere Market Growth

The cashmere clothing market continues to record its accelerated growth over recent years owing to increasing consumer demand for luxury fashion. The growing disposable income credentials the popularity of cashmere garments. The softness, warmth, and phenomenal feel of cashmere are appealing to consumers desired for quality attires. In addition, the market is stimulated by social media platforms’ influence and celebrity endorsements uplifting the aspirational value of cashmere apparel. Increasingly, consumers consider quality and sustainability in their purchases, while cashmere’s inherent attributes, including durability and biodegradability, position it as the garment of choice, promoting market growth.

Online Retail Channels Expansion Propelling Cashmere Clothing Sales

The rapid expansion of e-commerce platforms has provided consumers with easy access to a large number of cashmere products, resulting in a growing market. In addition to a broad selection, online retail offers competitive pricing and convenience, all of which appeal to the digitally conversant consumers. The situation was exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic, which aided in the spread of digital platforms to purchase clothing. A broad selection, secure payment, and home delivery are essential factors in this channel which have also promoted massive cashmere sales.

Restraint Factor for the Cashmere Clothing Market

Supply Chain Disruptions Pose Challenges to Cashmere Market Growth

The cashmere industry, like other related markets, has inherent risks due to a complex and disparate supply chain. Climate change, overgrazing, and lack of skilled labor exacerbate supply chain shortages for secure and sustainable cashmere fiber production. As well, the wear cycle and transportation complexities create shortages with cashmere garment products due to production rates and prices. Therefore, market stabilization requires collective efforts for business expansion initiatives to ensure they contribute to the global economy.

Impact of Covid-19 on the Cashmere Clothing Market

The COVID-19 pandemic also affected the cashmere clothing market but brought unprecedented challenges, as well as opportunities. At first, the introduction of general lockdowns and considerable restrictions caused interruptions in manufacturing processes, various supply chains, and the broad non-essential consumption segment, such as luxury cashmere clothes. Due to the closure of traditional big and small trade stores and the consumers’ reluctance to physical shopping amid economic uncertainty, the interest in cashmere clothing noticeably decreased. As a result, businesses dealt with massive inventories and significant losses, which affected the market on a global scale. Due to the lockdown measures and social distancing, online shopping significantly improved. The e-commerce segment became the primary vehicle that saved the cashmere clothing industry and allowed various brands and firms to stay afloat by attracting customers in different approaches to the necessities to lockdown. The Covid-19 pandemic empha...

The leather goods market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 4% during the forecast period. Increased spend on personal goods, drivers.2, and drivers.3 are some of the significant factors fueling leather goods market growth.

Increased spend on personal goods

The key factors that drive the growth of the global leather goods market are customer fashion-consciousness and rising spending on luxury goods. Customer awareness about the latest and unique designs of leather goods is rising due to increased spending power, evolving lifestyles, and the augmenting penetration of smartphones. Vendors are constantly introducing new designs and patterns, owing to intense competition and increasing customer demand because of rapid changes in the fashion industry. Customers prefer leather goods due to their durability and premium look. The increasing number of marketing campaigns as well as product and brand promotion activities also drive the growth of the global leather goods market. Vendors make significant investments to market and promote their products. They focus on customer engagement, the reinforcement of brand relevance, increasing brand awareness, and guiding customers to stores or shopping websites. Vendors use various methods to improve brand equity and promote their products. Direct marketing, which includes e-mail, print advertising, catalogs, and brochures; in-store events; celebrity endorsements; and mobile marketing are some strategies used by the vendors. They also use social media platforms, such as Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest for brand promotion. For instance, in January 2019, KERING, one of the key vendors, promoted its Gucci brand and products in the Spring Summer 2019 collection through Singin’ in the Rain, a Hollywood movie that featured a tote bag from the brand. Trade wars are also a challenge for the growth of the market. For instance, the Government of the US has imposed approximately a 25% tariff on the import of leather goods from China. China, in turn, has imposed a tariff between 5% and 25% on the export of hides, skins, and leather goods to the US. Such tariffs will increase the cost of production for vendors, which will affect their profit margins. However, they also create growth opportunities for leather exports from other Asian countries, especially countries such as India, Vietnam, and Indonesia. The wide availability of counterfeit leather goods affects the sales and pricing strategies of vendors, as it dilutes their market share and hampers their reputation. Furthermore, social organizations such as People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) have been taking various initiatives against leather manufacturers and the use of leather by spreading awareness among people about the ill-treatment of animals and discouraging them from using leather goods. In September 2019, members of PETA protested during the London Fashion Week against the hazardous waste generated by the leather industry. The presence of stringent governmental regulations for the procurement of raw materials also affects the growth of the global leather goods market. Tanning companies must follow various regulations related to the production of leather, the disposal of waste, the use of chemicals, environmental protection, and recycling. These regulations and restrictions imposed on the leather industry increase the costs borne by vendors and hinder their production processes. In addition, the extent of the coronavirus outbreak, popularly named as COVID-19, was so huge that it was declared a pandemic by The World Health Organization. This pandemic is indeed a tragedy for humankind; nevertheless, it has a far-reaching impact on industries as well. As this pandemic continues to expand, both manufacturing, as well as the services side of various industries, are expected to realize the hit in terms of economic slowdown/gain. Some of the major industries that have been impacted by the COVID-19 outbreak are household durables; textiles, apparel, and luxury goods; and hotels, restaurants, and leisure facilities. The supply chain around the world has been disrupted due to the COVID-19 pandemic, owing to which the global leather goods market is facing immediate decline. Despite these challenges, the demand for leather goods is expected to increase, owing to emerging market trends. For instance, the demand for leather tanned from exotic animals, apart from traditional leather, to make leather goods has grown during the past five years. The increased demand for leather goods at airport retail stores is another trend that will drive the growth of the market during the forecast period. Globally, the number of passengers traveling by air is expected to increase every year. Travelers generally prefer purchasing luxury and premium products from the duty-free stores in airports, as such stores offer products at lower prices than local retail stores.

According to Cognitive Market Research, the global Kid's clothing market size is USD 192151.2 million in 2024 and will expand at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.00% from 2024 to 2031.

Market Dynamics of Kids Clothing Market

Key Drivers of Kids Clothing Market

Increasing Inclination for Comfort and Style to Increase the Demand Globally

This expansion is driven by an interesting shift in consumer tastes, where comfort and style are now viewed as complementary partners rather than adversaries when it comes to children's clothing—adieu to Itch and hello to Softness. The days of awkward fitting and stiff materials are long gone. In order to keep their children active and rash-free, parents are placing a higher priority on breathable, soft fabrics like bamboo blends and organic cotton. Putting function first, fashion-forward Comfort does not equate to a lack of style. Trendy yet functional clothing is becoming more and more popular. Consider graphic tees with adjustable necklines or jogging trousers with a fun design. Dress Easily for Any Occasion. Children's clothing is made to go easily from play to school to special events. Clothes that may be worn down for a more casual look or dressed up with a jacket are appreciated by parents. Sustainability Becomes the Main Event: Parents who care about the environment are choosing eco-friendly clothes that are produced ethically or from recycled materials. This is in line with the rising demand for high-quality clothing that may be given for further use or handed down to siblings.

Give Comfort and Sustainability Priority to Propel Market Growth

The population in urban regions is often younger and has a higher birth rate. This results in a greater number of kids in need of clothing, which continuously drives up demand. Families have more disposable money as a result of the economic possibilities that come with urbanization. This enables parents to spend more on clothing for their kids, including high-end, fashionable pieces. People who live in cities are usually more exposed to the media and marketing campaigns. This encourages even youngsters to need fashionable, name-brand apparel. Social contacts play a major role in urban living. In urban areas, parents could give their children's fashionable clothing top priority in order to stay current with fashion and make friends. Retail Boom: The growth of retail is closely related to urbanization.

Restraint Factors Of Kids Clothing Market

Rising Price of Kids Clothes to Limit the Sales

Clothes will ultimately cost more since materials like cotton, wool, and leather are becoming more expensive. This may encourage parents to buy less or shop around for less expensive solutions. Sales were harmed by the COVID-19 epidemic and supply chain disruptions. Although the market is rising, it hasn't yet returned to its pre-pandemic levels. Since materials like cotton, wool, and leather are getting more expensive, clothes will ultimately cost more. This might incentivize parents to purchase fewer items or look around for less costly options. The COVID-19 pandemic and supply chain interruptions hurt sales. The market is rising, but it is still not back to where it was before the outbreak.

Impact of Covid-19 on the Kids Clothing market

The impact of COVID-19 on the market for the market was moderate. Governments imposed travel bans and lockdowns, which resulted in labor scarcity and a decline in the demand for clothing, forcing the closure of factories. Supply networks were thrown off, which decreased sales. Closures of Brick and Mortar Stores: Lockdowns resulted in the closure of department stores and specialist shops selling apparel for children. This greatly influenced sales.

Sales fell precipitously as a result of numerous stores having to close due to lockdowns. Not only was it impossible for parents to go shopping,...
