Key Market Driver

The growing online sales are notably driving the market growth. Currently, online sales account for a low share of the overall sales in the market. However, they are expected to have a positive impact on the market by the end of the forecast period. The growth in internet and smartphone penetration and customer engagement practices have contributed to the sales volume and revenue of compression and shapewear vendors.

Social media provides a platform for vendors to actively engage with consumers. It plays a key role in increasing product awareness. With the rise in engagement through social networking and blogs, vendors are increasingly preferring social media to increase awareness and promote their products. Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and YouTube are some of the powerful social media platforms used for product promotion. These factors will drive the growth of the global market during the forecast period.

Significant Market Trends

The growing organized retail in emerging countries is a key trend shaping the market. The products are mainly sold through established organized retailers. Existing vendors compete against each other to gain the maximum shelf space in organized retail stores. These stores are convenient for consumers, as they stock products from a large number of brands. Thus, consumers have multiple options to choose from.

Many consumers across the world prefer to purchase products from supermarkets and hypermarkets, which further increases the significance of organized retailers among vendors. Supermarkets offer low-cost products. Moreover, the number of supermarkets is increasing globally. For instance, the penetration of supermarkets in countries such as India, Brazil, Indonesia, Chile, and Mexico is significantly high. Therefore, the growing organized retailing in emerging countries will drive the growth of the market during the forecast period.

Major Market Challenge

Counterfeit apparel products is a major challenge that may impede the market growth. These products use the brand names of the original brands and are sold at lower prices to attract customers. This lowers the market shares of leading brands. Counterfeit products are made of low-quality raw materials and cheap fabric that can cause allergies among people with sensitive skin. Therefore, counterfeit products harm the reputation of leading brands.

China is a key source of counterfeit products that are shipped to different countries globally. In the US, the influx of counterfeit products is affecting the country's economy, as legitimate American companies face losses. Moreover, low-quality counterfeit products can lead to negative customer experiences, which can lead to a loss of trust and loyalty toward the original brands. These factors can hinder the growth of the market during the forecast period.
