Business Of Fashion - September 2024

Bu konuda

Dear Readers,
The September issue of BoF turns its focus to the everevolving innerwear market in India, fuelled by rapid urbanisation, evolving consumer demographics, and a heightened focus on personal well-being. Once viewed primarily as a necessity, innerwear has now emerged as an essential part of the fashion industry, reflecting a fusion of style, functionality, and innovation.

According to 1Lattice, by 2029, the innerwear market is expected to reach Rs 1,07,308 crore, growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10% from Rs 66,703 crore in 2024. A significant driver of this growth is the lingerie segment, anticipated to hit Rs 70,186 crore by 2029. This is primarily driven by shifting cultural attitudes towards body positivity and self-expression, with women’s lingerie accounting for the largest share, followed by men’s and kids’ undergarments.

Product innovation is at the heart of this expansion. Consumers are increasingly seeking versatile innerwear that caters to different occasions, from everyday wear to athletic needs. Technological advancements and sustainability have also become pivotal in shaping this sector. New fabric technologies like moisturewicking microfibers ensure comfort and durability, while the growing demand for eco-friendly innerwear has pushed brands to adopt more sustainable production practices.
