Description
India’s innerwear market has seen a significant growth in the last ten years. The market, which was valued at `61,091 crores in 2023, is expected to reach `75,466 crores by 2025, at a CAGR of 11.2%. Various factors which have driven this growth are increasing awareness and acceptance of lingerie as an essential part of daily wear and fashion, the growing middle-class population with higher disposable income and rising influence of celebrity endorsements.
Women’s inner and comfort wear, which accounts for 60% of the market is the major driving force behind this expansion compared to men’s which lies at 30% along with kid’s which captures only 10%. The latter two segments are also expected to grow due to evolving fashion consciousness and changing parental attitudes. The innerwear market is a reflection of the nation’s forward-thinking mentality and vibrant consumer culture as Indians continue to navigate the ever-evolving currents of fashion and self-expression.
