Additionally, it encompasses niche markets including luxury clothes, outerwear, and sportswear.

Growth Drivers of the Global Menswear Market

Growing Interest in Eco-Friendly Apparel

The market for menswear is expanding significantly due to the growing demand for eco-friendly apparel. Sustainable fashion is becoming increasingly popular as consumers grow more concerned about the environment. This includes clothing created from recycled textiles, organic ingredients, and eco-friendly production techniques. Growing environmental consciousness, including the waste and pollution from quick fashion, is the driving force behind this movement. With a preference for businesses that emphasize sustainability, men are increasingly looking for apparel that reflects their ideals. The industry is changing due to the rise of ethical fashion, which is pushing for firms to embrace ethical and transparent production methods and fostering innovation in eco-friendly textiles.

Men's Growing Predilection for Online Buying

The market's growth is mostly being driven by the growing e-commerce industry and rising internet penetration. Additionally, the desire for luxury brands and uncommon items in the menswear sector is being supported by rising consumer disposable incomes and men's increased emphasis on physical appearance. Furthermore, online transactions and the average amount of money spent online have steadily increased in tandem with the growing number of internet users. For example, Amazon's total consolidated net sales revenue in 2023 was US$ 575 billion, of which US$ 131 billion came from foreign revenue sources.

Furthermore, a lot of luxury brands are collaborating with tech firms to improve consumers' shopping experiences. For example, LMVH Japan and SoftBank Corp. inked a partnership agreement in February 2022. With the assistance of SoftBank Corp.'s digitization skills, this arrangement improved LMVH's online sales.

Expanding Product Selection

A growing number of major industry participants are funding the creation of more inventive and eco-friendly fashion items at competitive prices. For example, the 2023-launched brand Y Chroma debuted age-defying male styles during New York Fashion Week in February 2024. The goal of the new fashion company is to appeal to the middle-aged market, which is frequently overlooked. In addition, a number of male fashion firms are raising money to grow their clientele and operations, which is expected to boost the menswear market's earnings in the upcoming years.

For instance, in December 2023, SWC Global and IvyCap Ventures co-led a Series A fundraising round for the direct-to-consumer (D2C) apparel firm Snitch, raising INR 110 Cr (US$ 13.19 Million). The additional funds will be used by the business to develop an offline retail strategy and to scale up its workforce and technology. According to Snitch, their FY23 turnover exceeded INR 100 Cr. Additionally, a number of businesses are providing plus-size clothing to accommodate a range of body shapes and sizes, guaranteeing that people of all shapes and sizes can find fashionable and well-fitting clothing. The fashion-focused multi-brand retail retailer Shoppers Stop, for instance, announced in April 223, the launch of its plus-sized private label under the 'U R You' name.

Men's Top Wear Market

The men's top wear market includes shirts, t-shirts, jackets, sweatshirts, and ethnic tops. This category is the most dominant in the men's clothing market because of its regular use, seasonal demand, and fashion flexibility. The growth in work-from-home culture has increased demand for casual and comfortable tops, especially polos and knitwear. Fashion-forward younger generations are increasingly turning to printed and oversized t-shirts. Formal shirts continue to have good demand in workplaces, while layering alternatives such as jackets and hoodies come into fashion in colder climates. Online shopping and influencer trends also contribute heavily to the drivers of consumer desire in this sector.

Men's Bottom Wear Market

Men's bottom wear comprise jeans, trousers, shorts, chinos, joggers, and ethnic lowers such as dhotis or pajamas in some geographies. This category has changed a great deal, with increased demand for comfort and performance apparel, particularly from young and active consumers. The athleisure trend has propelled joggers and sweatpants into the mainstream, with denim still a wardrobe staple. Consumers look for practical, durable, and fashionable items appropriate for office and leisure activities alike. Brands are getting creative with sustainable materials, stretch fabrications, and ergonomic fits to appeal to this style-forward but comfort-driven crowd. Brand collaborations and online platforms also enhance segment visibility and reach.

Online Menswear Market

Buyers increasingly shop online for clothes due to ample product offerings, promotions, easy returns, and personalized suggestions. Online e-commerce platforms and direct-to-consumer (DTC) brands have revolutionized men's shopping for casual as well as formal clothing. Product categories such as t-shirts, jeans, and activewear are particularly favored online. Influencer marketing, virtual try-on, and artificial intelligence (AI)-based sizing solutions also improve digital shopping further. Additionally, subscription boxes and fashion curation services are growing, promoting experimentation and personalization in the men's fashion arena online.
