The apparel industry is poised for substantial growth due to increasing millennial budgets, higher disposable incomes in developing markets, and a continued shift to online shopping. The apparel market’s revenue is expected to reach an astounding $1.8 trillion in 2024 and register a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 2.8% between 2024 and 2028.
