The global children’s dresses and skirts market size was valued at USD 13.77 billion in 2020 and is expected to expand at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.2% from 2021 to 2028. The increasing population in Asia Pacific, coupled with the rising consumer spending, is chiefly accountable for the growth of the market. The growing organized retail sector in developing countries and the rise of fast fashion are increasing the product demand. A surge in demand for animal and floral printed dresses and skirts is expected to boost the market growth. Moreover, dresses and skirts have transformed into basic clothes and not just a typical summer/spring item, which further supports the market growth.
The global apparel industry produces a large amount of waste and is second to oil in polluting the environment. Due to its long supply chain and energy consumption, the fashion and apparel industry contributes to greenhouse gas emissions by 10%. Moreover, water pollution by microfibers, soil pollution by landfills, and chemical release in the air by manufacturing are other factors impacting the environment. Rising awareness regarding the environmental impact is likely to restrain the market growth.
The market for children’s dresses and skirts witnessed reduced sales due to the restriction and lockdown caused by the Covid-19 pandemic across the world. With the resumed trade and business activities and relaxed restrictions, sales and demand for the product are expected to recover in the coming years.
The offline segment captured the largest revenue share of more than 70.0% in 2020. Offline distribution channels such as departmental stores, superstores, wholesalers, and hypermarkets are well-established. These channels are the primary choice and are used profoundly for shopping by elderly customers. Moreover, the footprint of these offline channels is expanding rapidly on account of the increasing rate of urbanization and industrialization in developing nations.
The online segment is expected to register the fastest CAGR of 5.5% from 2021 to 2028. The expansion and penetration of big online retailers in new regions and the emergence of new company-owned shopping websites are likely to boost the segment growth. Moreover, for the online channel, the Covid-19 pandemic thrust a decade of growth in one year.
Dresses dominated the market and held a revenue share of over 55.0% in 2020. Various types of attractive dresses such as shirt dress, wrap dress, denim dress, patterned dress, and ruffle dress are available in the market. Additionally, animal printed, floral printed, and motif-detailed dresses are available with plain, embroidery, or embellished designs. Manufacturers are innovating and launching dresses with characters printed on them to increase sales.
The skirts segment is expected to expand at the highest CAGR of 5.3% from 2021 to 2028. Demand for skirts is surging due to the increasing popularity of the product among consumers. There are a variety of skirts available in the market including flared skirts, pleated skirts midi skirts, tulle skirts, and sequin skirts. Skirts with prints or embroidery are more in demand. Additionally, a new style is emerging in the skirts category, i.e. skort, which is a combination of a short and a skirt, thereby aiding the market growth.
Europe held the largest revenue share of more than 30.0% in 2020. Key players have a strong presence in the region with well-established and widespread distribution networks. Moreover, higher per capita disposable income and significant spending on clothes are fueling the regional market growth.
Asia Pacific is anticipated to exhibit the fastest CAGR of 6.1% from 2021 to 2028. The high growth potential of the region is credited to the new entrants and increasing expansion of the global and local brands. Growing population and increasing per capita income are creating favorable growth conditions for the apparel industry in India, China, and Vietnam, which, in turn, is driving the industry.
The main focus of the manufacturers is on business expansion and product launch to increase sales. Moreover, manufacturers are investing insustainable, green, and environmentally friendly solutions, considering the current customer inclination and demand.
