Fashion Accessories Market Trends

Premiumization Driving the Fashion Accessories Market

Customers, especially millennials and Generation Z, are increasingly open to premium fashionable clothing and are willing to experiment with various branded premium fashion accessories owing to evolving fashion perceptions accompanied by high disposable income and rising exposure to global fashion trends. Also, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, customers aged 35 to 54 have the highest spending power for clothes in the United States in the current year. Increased socialization and growing exposure to branded accessories across various retail channels have influenced consumers buying decisions, and they are tempted to spend more on premium fashion accessories.

Further, customers' lifestyles substantially changed over the last decade with the impact of urbanization and digitalization in developing economies. The middle-class population is now more open to spending on fashion wear and personal grooming products, which in turn is anticipated to drive market growth across key regions such as the Asia Pacific and the Middle East. Moreover, these premium brands are also tapping into the growing demand for modest wear across regions like India, Saudi Arabia, and other regions, gaining traction among consumers willing to address both spiritual and stylistic requirements. Globally, the modest fashion industry has reached to USD 277 billion mark (State of the Global Islamic Economy Report 2020/21), with Saudi Arabia representing one of the major market shares. Recently, in 2022, Gucci launched its premium Nojum - a modest collection explicitly designed for the unostentatious needs of the Middle East, including Saudi Arabia.

Asia-Pacific is the Fastest Growing Market

The growing attraction for the luxury lifestyle, high purchasing power, and the influence of celebrity endorsement is driving the market growth in the region. A rapid economic expansion occurs across Asia, with countries such as India and China taking center stage. As a result, India and China are becoming more attractive markets for fashion accessories outside the Western world. To gain momentum around offline stores, retailers in this region are leveraging technology to enhance the in-store experience with digital marketing displays and checkout. The strong economic growth and rising tech-savviness will make the region the next big opportunity for fashion accessories during the forecast period.

Moreover, consumers are much more conscious about their health than they used to be and are taking life-changing steps. As per a survey conducted in association with Japan Sports Agency in November 2021 in Japan, 15.1% of respondents in their twenties stated that they used fitness clubs. Similarly, in Australia, 45.80% of people aged between 25-35 years have a habit of going to gyms, fitness clubs, and leisure centers.
