The market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 6.2% from 2025 to 2030.

Moreover, improvements in supply chain and logistics management are likely to increase efficiency and lower the risk factor, driving market growth. The global apparel industry experienced a slump and reduced sales due to the pandemic-induced lockdown and restrictions. The manufacturing, transportation, trade, and sales activities were halted during the lockdown, which impacted the market.
However, with the resumed trade and business activities and relaxed restrictions, product sales and demand are expected to recover. Moreover, key players are using various marketing strategies to increase their customer base, such as offering exclusive deals and discounts through their online channels. The online distribution channels offer a variety of products at reasonable prices, which again attracts more customers. The global market was dominated by the dresses segment in 2024. Various types of attractive dresses, such as shirt dresses, wrap dresses, denim dresses, patterned dresses, ruffle dresses, etc., are available in the market. In addition, animal-printed, floral-printed, motif-detailed dresses available with plain, embroidery, or embellished designs drive the segment growth.
Manufacturers are innovating and launching dresses with characters printed on them to increase product sales. The offline segment dominated the global market in 2024 and is estimated to retain its leading position during the forecast period. Offline distribution channels, such as departmental stores, superstores, wholesalers, and hypermarkets, are well-established. These channels are the primary choice and are used profoundly for shopping by elderly customers. Asia Pacific is anticipated to witness the fastest CAGR over the forecast period due to the increasing number of market entrants and rapid expansion of global and local brands. Increasing population and per capita income levels in India, China, Vietnam, etc., are creating favorable conditions for the apparel industry, which, in turn, is driving the market.
