Market Dynamics

The growing trend toward health and wellness is one of the primary drivers driving demand for various types of functional apparel, particularly active wear or sportswear products. Consumers worldwide have taken a serious interest in their fitness activity, participating in a variety of sports and fitness activities. As a result, the fitness business is heavily promoted to this target sector.

On the other hand, a slew of fitness celebrities has been pushing active wear brands that have piqued the interest of potential buyers. This has spawned an athleisure cult, with activewear seen on runways, in social settings, and at gyms. As a result, the rise in health and wellness trends is a significant component in forecasting the functional apparel market.

The pandemic's disruptions continue to have an effect on the apparel and textile sectors in a variety of regional marketplaces. Because the pandemic's duration and intensity are unknown in the long run, the fashion industry is struggling to survive. The closure of storefronts has had a significant influence on top fashion brands, putting numerous of them into severe financial distress and declaring bankruptcy. With the garment industry suffering widespread damage and export contracts being cancelled, other Asian countries such as India and Bangladesh are also bearing the pain. Closures of stores and cancellation of orders have resulted in wage reductions and staff layoffs, reducing the income of garment workers.

Due to the fact that the majority of garment products are design and fashion specific, as well as personalized to the consumer's preferences, they are regarded perishable, and their cancellation will leave them with minimal salvage value over time. With massive cancellations occurring both globally and locally, manufacturers are not ramping up production of new items. Numerous foreign buyers are deferring or canceling confirmed export orders. However, the current environment presents a unique opportunity for firms to partner with small local businesses to produce rapid inventory turnover.
