E-commerce to drive global apparel market in 2019

The year 2018 has seen world apparel players witnessing store downsizings and lesser retail growth but increase in sales due to digital market presence. This effect has fuelled changes in the approach of the market players, and this trend will continue in 2019 too. As a result, there will be more emphasis on customised apparel, as well as internet retail shopping.

Another point that emerged from the webinar, presented by Fibre2Fashion’s Market Intelligence team, was that the manufacturing sector will see more technological upgradation due to factors like rising labour costs, and the arrival of new industry players posing more challenges in production and distribution.

The webinar was a huge success and for those from the textile-apparel industry who were unable to be a part of the programme, Fibre2Fashion has come out with a report ‘Global Apparel Market Outlook 2019’.
