Summary

The Global Sector Series: Clothing & Footwear report offers comprehensive insight and analysis of the Clothing & Footwear market, the major players, the key trends and consumer attitudes. The report also includes consumer data from 2024.

The global clothing & footwear market showcased subdued growth of 0.7% in 2024 as consumers were wary of spending on non-essentials due to high inflation and economic uncertainty. The market is forecast to see slightly greater growth of 2.2% in 2025 as global consumer sentiment has started to recover, allowing demand for apparel to resurface.
