What’s Driving Change in Fashion Retail and Consumer Demand?
Significant shifts in size demand are challenging traditional forecasting methods, making old strategies obsolete.
Here are the four key drivers behind these changes:
Lifestyle Changes: Health consciousness is leading people to increase exercise, control their diets, and adopt healthier lifestyles. This trend is reducing obesity rates and increasing demand for smaller sizes.
Weight Loss Drugs: The market is booming, drugs such as Ozempic and Wegovy are helping individuals achieve and maintain a healthier weight. This surge is contributing to a higher demand for smaller clothing sizes for consumers.
Fashion Trends: The popularity of certain styles, such as oversized clothing is influencing consumer preferences. This shift underscores the complexity of accurately predicting size requirements.
Demographic Shifts: Recent migration and immigration patterns are altering regional size profiles, adding another layer of complexity for apparel and footwear companies to forecast size demand accurately.
These factors are crucial as they impact size profiles and demand predictions in different locations. At Sizeo, we monitor these trends to keep our partners ahead of the curve.
