Russia Apparel & Footwear Market Discussed in New Euromonitor International Study Now Available at MarketPublishers.com

19 May 2015 • by Natalie Aster

LONDON – In 2014, the development of the overall apparel and footwear industry in Russia slowed down. Though present value growth rates were positive throughout 2014, nearly all categories registered negative growth during Q4 2014. This resulted in several top international apparel and footwear brands departing from Russia. During 2015-2016, the apparel and footwear sector is likely to see further decreases similar to the declines posted during the country’s economic crunch in 2009.

Childrenswear remains the most immune category to economic downturn due to the reluctance of parents to spare money on products for their children even in tough economic times.  During 2014, the category posted double-digit present value growth, which can also be explained by Russia’s high and stable birth rates.  Further, the category recorded immense hike in online sales by the end of 2014.

Internet retailing in the country keeps on record stable growth year by year, with apparel and footwear being no exception. In addition to the time efficiency and convenience which online retailing provides, domestic consumers are increasingly embracing the opportunity to compare prices and choose the best variants online. 

The strong economic downturn in Russia during 2014 is likely to considerably influence apparel and footwear sales during the first couple of years of the forecasted period. The Russian apparel and footwear industry extremely relies on imports and, in this regard, the ruble’s declining exchange value is forcing up unit prices when consumers are about to cut back on spending.
