LONDON, Jan. 05, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- New year, new updates! Our reports have been revised for market size, forecasts, and strategies to take on 2021 after the COVID-19 impact: https://www.thebusinessresearchcompany.com/global-market-reportsMentioned in The Business Research Company’s research report on the apparel market, a survey was conducted in 2020 by McKinsey and company on 290 fashion executives to understand state of fashion industry in 2020. According to the survey, 57%, 58% and 58% of the fashion executives were of the view that the luxury fashion segment, mid-market and value segments respectively will not see any growth in 2020 when compared to 2019, while 31%, 39% and 38% of the fashion executives were of the view that the premium segment, mid value segment and value segment respectively will grow at a similar rate in 2020 as they did in 2019.
This is reflected in the decrease in demand but a spur in online purchasing in the clothing market. The slowed down economic activity due to COVID-19 across the globe has resulted in a decline in the apparel market demand. The apparel manufacturing industry is experiencing cuts in spending and poor consumer confidence due to fear over coronavirus spread. This low consumer demand keeps investors away from new investments in the sector. According to the International Monetary Fund (IMF), global GDP will decline by 3% due to COVID-19 impact. Many shop owners curbed their stock purchases due to low demand and increased inventory. According to the second survey report by the International Textile Manufacturers Federation (ITMF) between 28th March and 6th April, the global textile orders experienced around a 31% decline in orders in 2020. Fashion brands sales decreased by around 70% in India, owing to enforced lockdown and fear over coronavirus spread, which has piled-up apparel inventory.
However, in addition to stockpiling of apparel from physical retail store shelves such as INDITEX, Uniqlo, and H&M, online ordering has also gone up. Due to lockdowns and travel restrictions around the world, people have less desire or need to purchase or wear much beyond casual clothing. As many companies announced the remote working option to their employees due to physical distancing restrictions, the market has witnessed a gradual increase in demand for work-from-home wear. Fashion retailers shifted their sales channel to online platforms, focusing on new trends based on the evolving consumer. For example, according to the Facebook-BCG joint study report, around 90% of consumers purchased clothing online during lockdown. Consumers find this safer to order apparels online rather than going outside to physical stores during the pandemic.
