Luxury Apparels Market Overview

The global luxury apparel market size accounted for USD 72,071.5 Million in 2020 and is expected to reach USD 101,461.9 Million by 2028, growing at a CAGR of 4.4% from 2021 to 2028.

The global Luxury apparel market comprises designer clothing and accessories (Hats, scarves, belts) that are typically made of high-end, pure materials such as cotton, leather, silk, denim, and others. They are typically characterized by high price points, justified by the unique designs and higher quality materials and craftsmanship employed for production.

The rise in disposable income clubbed with a shift in the lifestyle patterns of millennials can be attributed as one of the driving forces of this market. One of the recent trends has been the surge in e-commerce of luxury apparel. Several brands have now resorted to online mediums for marketing as well as sales of their products through their websites and social media platforms. Sales and discount offers offered online have now become ubiquitous, and are almost non-existent in the offline mode. Another rising trend among luxury brands is the adoption of sustainable materials for production, as the Millennials and Generation Z are becoming more conscious of the environmental impact of luxury apparel, for instance, those made of pure leather and other such materials.  

COVID-19 Impact Analysis

The luxury apparel market is anticipated to witness checkered growth, as a result of the unprecedented supply chain disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. A possible decline is mainly attributable to the disruptions caused in crucial export markets such as India and China. In the offline mode, duty-free shops at airports and luxury stores at malls have been hit hard due to the restrictions imposed on international travel and mall visits. However, with consumers forced to stay at home, online retail sales increased exponentially, further accelerated by active digital campaigns initiated by luxury brands. For instance, Prada and Dolce & Gabanna in collaboration with Alibaba launched their own video boutiques to enhance the online shopping experience.

Growth Factors

A major growth driver in this market recently has been the increased communication on social media platforms through influencers and bloggers, who are influencing the sales of luxury apparel as the majority of customers rely on credible reviews and word of mouth before investing in such expensive products

Being the major driver of luxury sales, Millennial and Gen Z consumers are expected to augment this market due to their changing lifestyle patterns, caused by rapid urbanization and rising income levels. Companies such as Louis Vuitton and Christian Dior are actively coming up with engaging digital campaigns and celebrity collaborations to attract this segment.
