Market Challenges And Opportunities

Market Dynamics:

The growth of this market is attributed to the growing e-commerce sector, which includes shopping websites. This in turn, is influencing major players to focus on enhancing their business via online stores and sites. For instance, in 2017, Phillips-Van Heusen Corporation, entered into an agreement to acquire True&Co., an online lingerie retailer. The online retailer uses a fit quiz to recommend bras and other intimates that will best fit the responding consumer.

Growing preference of women towards products such as shapewear and bras, to help maintain a positive look and enhance the aesthetic appeal of the body, is expected to boost growth of the lingerie market. Moreover, increasing number of women participating in fitness-related activities such as marathon, gym, and other sports, is further expected to increase the demand for products such as sports bras, thereby fueling overall growth of the lingerie market.

Furthermore, increasing trend of using diamond studded lingerie for fashion show and growing focus of top lingerie brands such as Victoria’s Secret, Amante, La Senza, on manufacturing aesthetic and appealing lingerie, is further fueling growth of the global lingerie market.

However, high cost of promotions such as advertisements, influences market players to increase the product cost, which in turn, hampers growth of the lingerie market, globally.
