Men's Clothing - US - March 2016
Overview
 
What you need to know
Sales of men’s clothing are expected to increase over the next five years, and grow at a faster pace than women’s clothing over the same period. Men aged 25-34 are key to the market due to their transitional life stage as well as their relatively higher earnings (versus younger men, who also support growth). Men’s growing interest in their personal appearance is also a driver of growth. Combined with recent advances in online shopping and interest in additional innovations, the men’s apparel landscape is changing for the better. Meanwhile, the mobile channel remains under-utilized despite its potential.
