- Press Release -

The obvious function of clothing has changed from protecting the wearer from heat and cold and the pollutants to the expression of one’s distinct personality and is a style statement. The same holds true for the women’s wear market. Due to the increasing exposure to various forms of mass media such as the internet, television and the smart phone, women are becoming more aware of the latest fashion trends in the market and are increasingly changing their wardrobe as per the latest trends. This is being aided by the proliferation in the numbers of the working women and besides, the fact that disposable incomes are rising in the world, and this is especially true for the countries of the Asia-Pacific excluding Japan (APEJ) region. This, coupled with increasing materialistic desires and rapid urbanization and industrialization, is fuelling the global women’s wear market. The global womenswear market is also gaining traction due to the fact that more and more working women are independent and have started to assert their personality, which results in the manifestation of ever changing fashion trends that women are readily accepting and following.

The global women’s wear market is slated to touch a value of US$ 829,628 Mn in the year 2022 and grow at a moderate CAGR during the assessment period.
