In 2023, the global apparel rental market is expected to have grown 33.0%, sitting 52.4% above 2019 levels, driven by increased consumer awareness. Europe is forecast to be the rental market’s fastest growing region, with its share of the market expected to jump by 7.0ppts between 2023 and 2027, fuelled by the high number of traditional players launching their own rental services, as well as the strength of specialists such as HURR and My Wardrobe HQ.
