However, sales remained below 2019 levels during the year. Suresh Sunkara, Retail Analyst, GlobalData opines, India’s growing middle class, with higher disposable income, will bolster the growth of the apparel market this year.

Shift in consumer lifestyles due to rapid urbanization, increasing demand for products such as formalwear and sportswear, and greater access to apparel brands, both in-store and online will also support demand for more trend-led items this year, he adds.

The trend is expected to continue with many foreign and domestic brands making deeper inroads over the next three years, the report adds.
