The fashion industry takes up the challenge of presenting a more diverse mix for everyone.

Whatever the motivation is behind what people pick to wear, there is always the fashion industry that will provide the choices. It is for this reason that it is a trillion-dollar market, forecast to reach approximately $1.65 trillion this year, having long ago evolved from just catering to basic clothing needs to spinning, feeding, shaping and changing styles and tastes.
Today, the industry is poised for yet another series of transformations that will ensure it catches up with, espouses and benefits from the prevailing trends for sustainability and inclusivity. Phrases such as circular fashion, ethical fashion, body positivity and adaptive or disabled fashion are now pushing from the fringes into the mainstream, while there are still niches such as the age-inclusive that should be given attention. The last can be a potential loss of $14.5 billion in 20 years if not explored.
A challenge & an opportunity
In the McKinsey & Company report written with the Business of Fashion, The State of Fashion 2020: Navigating uncertainty, sustainability is one of the themes for 2020 due to industry's track record. "The textile sector still represents 6 percent of global greenhouse-gas emissions and 10 to 20 percent of pesticide use. Washing, solvents, and dyes used in manufacturing are responsible for one-fifth of industrial water pollution, and fashion accounts for 20 to 35 percent of microplastic flows into the ocean. Consumers are increasingly waking up to this reality and demanding change."
Enabling trends
In adaptive apparel fashion, prospects worldwide can be as high as $350 billion in the next few years, with 2019 expected tohave hit $288. 7 billion, according to the Coresight Research report. The segment covers discrete elasticated waistbands to magnetic fastenings. An example that uses technology to realize this is Nike's self-lacing shoes.
Coresight also noted the potential in plus-size clothing. In the US alone, this market was estimated to have reached $30.7 billion in 2019, and is forecast to climb to $31.9 billion in 2020 and $36.3 billion by 2025.
In coming years, follow-throughs in the fashion industry are expected to yield a greater number and a more diverse selection of clothing, footwear and accessories.
Some examples of these trends form part of a select lineup of apparel and supplies from Verified Suppliers on GlobalSources.com.
