Apparel and footwear specialists in Japan saw minimal current value growth in 2024, despite a marginal decline in outlet numbers. As apparel and footwear e-commerce continued to grow, offline sales remained fairly stagnant. The online market, while fragmented, offers a rich selection of overseas brands that are not found in physical stores. One notable trend is the rise of Asian fast fashion, which has garnered significant support, particularly amongst younger consumers.
