The clothing industry has made a steady recovery in the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic, with consumer confidence stating to make a return. However, the way consumers are shopping has changed significantly over the last 18 months, with an increased interest in re-wearing, recycling and renting clothing in a bid to move away from fast fashion.
Sustainability remains an important part of the market, with retailers increasingly highlighting their sustainability initiatives in response to consumer demand for more transparency within supply chains. While this serves as a threat to those who can’t keep up, it is also an opportunity for the big players to pick up these brands and grow their market share.
Supply chain problems, increasing costs and warehouse labour and driver shortages brought about by Brexit and the pandemic are among the new challenges facing retailers, both for in-store and online players.
There has also been a rise in hybrid shopping – consumers increasingly buying across multiple platforms – and ecommerce is continuously evolving. There is an opportunity here for brands to attract the older generations back into stores, with consumers valuing safety and security even after lockdown measures are long down. The emphasis on retailers to become omnichannel is ever present, enabling them to reach out to and provide for customers no matter where they are or how they choose to shop.

The clothing market remains under pressure, but it is starting to see a gradual recovery in 2021 as pent-up demand by consumers looking to update their wardrobes for socialising, events and going back to the office drives growth. For fashion retailers and brands to thrive in the future, they will need to invest wisely in more personalised shopping experiences and products, as well as tap into changing consumer behaviours, including heightened demand for sustainability and transparency.
