Description

Blank Apparel Market Summary

The global blank apparel market size was estimated at USD 15.23 billion in 2024 and is expected to reach USD 24.04 billion, growing at a CAGR of 5.3% from 2025 to 2033, driven by the surge in customization and print-on-demand businesses, especially in e-commerce and promotional merchandise. A key trend in the blank apparel market is the rapid rise of print-on-demand and customization, where consumers and small brands want unique, personalized clothing instead of mass-produced designs.

This trend is fueled by the growth of e-commerce platforms such as Etsy, Shopify, and Amazon Merch, making it easy for startups and creators to build micro-brands using blank t-shirts, hoodies, and caps as their base products. Increasing sports participation is driving the demand for blank apparel. As more people engage in sports, fitness, and active lifestyles, there is a growing need for versatile clothing such as t-shirts, hoodies, and activewear that can be easily customized or branded. Athletes, sports enthusiasts, and casual consumers increasingly prefer plain apparel that can serve as a foundation for team kits, fan gear, or personalized sportswear, contributing to steady growth in the market.

Rise in collaborations with universities, leagues, and clubs is creating new opportunities and driving market growth. Apparel brands are increasingly partnering with colleges and universities to produce team merchandise and promotional clothing for students, alumni, and fans. Similarly, partnerships with professional sports leagues and clubs enable brands to produce licensed fan apparel and merchandise. These collaborations expand the market for blank apparel, as plain products provide the flexibility required for branding, logos, and event-specific designs.

For instance, in May 2023, Sports and lifestyle brand PlayR announced its global merchandise partnership with four teams of the Indian Premier League (IPL): Mumbai Indians, Chennai Super Kings, Punjab Kings, and Rajasthan Royals. This collaboration provides PlayR with exclusive rights to sell a wide range of high-quality apparel, accessories, equipment, and lifestyle products to fans.

Industries such as retail, hospitality, healthcare, and technology rely on uniforms to maintain a professional, cohesive appearance and ensure brand consistency and safety. Blank apparel provides a versatile base for customized uniforms, allowing businesses to add logos, embroidery, or prints to reflect their unique identity. For instance, in February 2024, National Windscreens partnered with Workwear Express to provide over 600 technicians with practical, durable uniforms, sourcing blank apparel as the base. This increasing trend of providing apparel and uniforms with logos and company names is expected to drive the demand for blank apparel and the overall market during the forecast period.

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
