Retail, Fashion & CPG
The fashion retail industry of the country derives its strength from fast urbanization, FDI and development of the economy. It is estimated that the US $45 billion Indian fashion apparel market will grow at a CAGR of 10 per cent to touch the US $122 billion by 2025.
Factors boosting the growth of this sector include:
- The large young consuming population has made India a highly lucrative market for international brands. Changes in preferences from non-branded to branded, fashion-conscious owing to mass media and social media penetration is furthering the growth of this industry.
- Favourable trade policies of the government and increased penetration of organized retail among other factors are contributing to making the Indian fashion industry attractive for investors.
