Analyst Opinion

While Greater China almost overtakes the U.S. as largest fashion market in the world, key economic indicators create a more cautious mood for the global fashion industry potentially slowing down by 2020. For companies it is crucial to prepare plans to address a possible transformation of global value chains emerging by new opportunities from global consumer spending shifting towards emerging economies as well as trade tensions and uncertainties. A leverage point could be to take a strong position on social and environmental issues, as this is very much demanded by the younger generation.

Methodology

Data coverage:

Data encompasses B2C enterprises. Figures are based on the consumer spending on clothing which comprises women, men, and children segments that are produced for private end customers for both offline retail (department stores, traditional specialist shops) and online retail (e-commerce, ordering by catalog).

As a basis for evaluating markets, we use resources from the Statista platform, national statistics, industry research, market data from independent databases and third-party sources, historical developments, current trends, reported performance indicators from the key market players, and Statista interviews with market experts. Next we use relevant key market indicators and data from country-specific associations such as GDP, consumer spending, consumer price index and population. This data helps us to estimate the market size for each country individually.

For example, the exponential trend smoothing illustrates suited forecasting for the Apparel market with projected steady growth. The main drivers are GDP per capita and consumer spending per capita.
