By 2030, India is expected to become the world’s third largest apparel market with spending on clothes projected to more than double1. Brands such as H&M, Gap, and Juicy Couture have recently entered the market to take advantage of strong apparel spending growth. However, the market is not homogenous. Economic development and cultural differences make apparel habits vastly different across the country. Success in the Indian market will require a keen understanding of these differences and customized marketing, advertising, and product assortments to meet consumers’ diverse needs.

APPAREL SHOPPING HABITS

Although online shopping and internet penetration remain low in India, online apparel and footwear spending is projected to nearly triple in the coming years as shoppers increasingly turn to e-commerce and discount websites such as Myntra, Snapdeal, and Amazon. This is an opportunity for traditional apparel brands and retailers to capture rupees from the projected market growth by developing websites and apps that address consumers’ tactile concerns.

Nearly 2 in 3 consumers say retailer/brand websites are their top online source of clothing inspiration.
