What are the market dynamics of the global premium apparel market?
Consumers’ growing awareness of the negative environmental impacts of apparel is driving them to shop at sustainable brands, many of which have premium price points due to the additional costs required in production. Many midmarket players such as Arcadia and Gap have severely struggled over the past couple of years, with the resulting store closures driving many consumers to seek new places to shop.
Despite already being the largest premium apparel market, Asia is forecast to experience the highest growth over the next five years. Growing internet penetration, along with affluent millennials and the active engagement of brands on social media will drive regional sales, with the strongest growth coming from the region’s largest country, China. Premium accessories sales are expected to outperform over the next five years. This is driven by consumers having an increased preference for investing in higher-quality pieces that will last for longer.
What are the top regions and countries for the premium apparel market?
Asia-Pacific holds the highest share in the global premium apparel market, followed by the Americas and Europe. Asia-Pacific performance has been largely driven by a strong recovery in China, though the Philippines and India are taking longer to rebound from the impacts of the pandemic due to further waves of COVID-19, these markets have high growth potential once the virus subsides. The premium apparel market in the Americas region lost sales in 2020 due to a drop in consumer spending during the pandemic because of prolonged lockdown periods and retail store closures. However, as the COVID-19 situation stabilized and people started returning to work, demand for premium apparel in the Americas has been revived by a robust US economy and government stimulus cheques.
The majority of Europe was badly impacted by COVID-19 in 2020, resulting in a significant decline in premium apparel sales. Concerns related to personal finances and the state of the economy put a dent in consumer confidence, which resulted in a lot of shoppers cutting back discretionary spending and trading down to value players. Saudi Arabia, the largest market in Middle East & Africa, witnessed a decline in 2020, despite having high-net-worth consumers that are comfortable spending more on discretionary items, while Israel saw the steepest decline.
