Jeans Market Analysis
The global jeans market is expected to register a CAGR of 6.7% during the forecast period (2020-2025).
With the onset of COVID-19, much of the production, exports, and retailing of fashion-oriented apparel went to a halt after the strict lockdown measures worldwide, bringing a downfall in the jeans market. China is considered one of the largest jeans manufacturers globally, with the capability of producing raw materials and associated accessories. However, severe lockdown in the country and restriction toward trade led to the limited movement of products. Lately, the ease of lockdown worked positively for the apparel industry, and brands have benefitted the most from online channels.
Over the coming years, the major factors propelling the growth of the market include the globalization of fashion trends, changing consumer lifestyle, and the growing preference for high-end and premium design labels among the middle-class population.
With the growing customization trend, players started designing customized jeans to increase their customer base, increasing sales. Due to consumers' shifting lifestyles, like paying extra attention to the latest trend, the key players are expected to achieve a competitive advantage through customization.
The strategic collaborations among players in the denim jeans industry are the key factors contributing to the growth of the market studied. For instance, denim mills collaborate with jeans brands to achieve strategic objectives that are mutually beneficial.
