Countries like Italy and France have a renowned reputation for manufacturing high-quality apparel, which is in demand globally. As a result, industry revenue largely follows trends in disposable income and consumer spending. Clothing manufacturers have faced challenges brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic, severe inflation and foreign competition. Despite these challenges, the digital revolution has inspired new avenues for growth with the rise of e-commerce, which has become an increasingly central consumer shopping practice. Revenue is expected to slump at a compound annual rate of 5.5% to €97.8 billion over the five years through 2024, including a 3.6% drop in 2024.
