Examining three trends shaping apparel and footwear

Sustainability

Consumers become increasingly aware of the environmental impact of the fashion industry as healthy and sustainable living becomes more integral to their personal values. In developed markets, consumers seek out companies employing sustainable practices and become more comfortable wearing refurbished clothing. As sustainability and transparency are becoming a priority, resale and rental markets are also growing at a fast pace.

Digitalisation

Digital technology has evolved the way how consumers shop products as well as interact with brands. Brands and retailers will further incorporate technology into their products and services, varying from improving omnichannel capabilities to experimenting “drop” products and subscription services as well as developing smart clothing.

Personalisation

Consumers expect customisable experiences from the brands they interact with, in a way that fits with their busy lifestyles as well as their personalities and preferences. The industry players will further use big data technology along with machine learning to collect and analyse customer preference in order to personalise products and services, offering consumers anything and everything they want.
