Global apparel retail industry has experienced healthy growth in recent years, fueled largely by the rapid growth experienced in the Asia-Pacific region which currently accounts for 38.3% of the total industry value. This trend is expected to continue into the forecast period as the Asia-Pacific market continues to expand at a strong rate.
Although the growth of the economy slowed down in China in 2017, overall apparel continued to grow, especially in the fast fashion category. In the Chinese apparel market current demand growth is becoming increasingly centered on fast fashion trends.
Fast fashion retailers are filling the gap in the market for consumers who want to wear fashionable clothing but cannot afford luxury items. By changing their offering quickly, companies can create scarcity value, leading customers to visit stores more often. Even as luxury brands such as Gucci and Burberry have reported slower growth in markets such as China, fast fashion retails brands such as Zara, H&M, and Uniqlo (part of Fast Retailing) are set to expand further in China in order to capture a market that blurs the distinction between mid-market apparel and low-end luxury.
