The US market growing at a CAGR of 16.1 will be one of the biggest for denim.

And as the market grows sustainability will be a major thrust for consumers.

The use of large quantities of hazardous chemicals and high emissions of greenhouse gases during denim production is affecting the environment. And as demand for recycling gains ground production of denim from plastic and other recyclable materials is a major opportunity for manufacturers.

Moreover, cropped hems, distressed, patched and boyfriend jeans, two-tone jeans, and skinny jeans are much in demand across the globe especially among younger people. Decorative denim with patches, laces, and embroidery are also going off the shelves, the study reveals.

The retail angle

Indeed, North America was the largest denim market, in terms of revenue from 2013 to 2017 for a long. However, the APAC region is projected to see the highest CAGR during the forecast period, owing to the improved manufacturing process, swift urbanization, better standards of living, increasing disposable income, and expanding working-class population

Meanwhile online retail will continue to be a huge draw registering the fastest growth in the denim market. In fact, the pandemic has confirmed this trend. Online sales will be fuelled by customers wanting convenient on-demand shopping and now with the pandemic their reluctance to visit brick and mortar stores.

Overall, the denim market is highly fragmented in nature. In fact, major global players have taken strategic measures, such as product launches, mergers and acquisitions, partnerships, and facility expansions, to strengthen their position.
