Sustainability in the Apparel Industry – Key Trends
The key sustainability trends impacting the apparel market are booming resale and rental markets, sustainability in the sportswear market, experimenting with sustainable design, and legislation to regulate sustainability in the apparel industry.
Booming resale and rental markets: Brands are moving towards the booming resale and rental markets. As consumers become increasingly environmentally and financially conscious amid the climate and cost of living crises, the global resale market soared in 2022 and is expected to grow further between 2022 and 2026. For instance, Zara launched its resale proposition in the UK in November 2022, joining the long list of apparel brands, such as H&M, Ganni, and PrettyLittleThing, entering the market in the past year. Zara’s resale proposition is operated through the brand’s website and app, allowing consumers to sell their unwanted Zara garments as well as donate or get them repaired. In contrast to other players launching resales, Zara only offers secondhand products from its own brand, perhaps to help control its brand image in the resale market.
