Technavio analysts highlight the following three factors that are contributing to the growth of the global online apparel retailing market:

  • Growing online seasonal sales
  • Demand for trendy apparel
  • Rising popularity of digital payment system

Growing online seasonal sales

Heavy discounts and end of season sales contribute a large part of the revenue generated by the online retail market. The Black Friday (News - Alert) sale, promotional sales, stock clearance sales and end of season sales lure in customers by offering heavy discounts.

"India, one of the fastest growing economies, is witness to the Flipkart Big Billion Day sale and Amazon sale during Diwali, attracting huge online traffic. The growing popularity of such sales increases the revenue, and thereby drives the market growth," says Brijesh Kumar Choubey, a lead analyst at Technavio for apparel and textile research.

Demand for trendy apparel

The progressing economy and rising standards of living have elevated apparel from being a basic necessity to something that helps bring out a person's individuality. Consumers buy apparel according to the setting, such as professional setup, special occasions, or social gatherings. They opt for event-suitable apparel to appear presentable and fashionable.

Vendors in the market are capitalizing on the demand for trendy apparel by focusing more on brand attachment and engagement with consumers through advertisements and product promotions by celebrities. The rising demand for trendy apparel acts as a key market driver in the growth of the online apparel retailing market.

Rising popularity of digital payment system

"The easy availability of a wide range of merchandise, online payment options, real-time tracking of shipments, 24/7 customer support, larger internet reach, and cheaper costs have increased the demand for online shopping among people," says Brijesh.

Currently, customers have several secure payment options such as credit cards, cash-on-delivery (COD), internet banking accounts, demand drafts, and cash-on-order. Consumers also rely on payment service providers such as PayPal (News - Alert), which allow them to pay without revealing their personal information. The hassle-free nature of payments is encouraging more consumers to adopt online retail channels for their apparel needs.
