Key Market Dynamics
- Consumers who are fashion conscious and desire aesthetically pleasing intimate apparel, particularly women, are driving the growth of the global market for intimate apparel. The increase in the number of working women, the rise in demand from developing countries, and the recovery from the negative impacts of the pandemic are some of the drivers propelling market expansion. The market for expensive, opulent, and stylish women’s intimate attire has also expanded. These elements will encourage the market’s growth over the course of the forecast period.
- The growing trend of athleisure is one of the main intimate apparel market trends projected to benefit the business in the approaching years. Individuals can dress for athletic hobbies or exercises to work, social meetings, and other informal settings, according to the fashion trend known as “athleisure”. One example of this are sports bras. In response to the increased demand for better performance, major competitors are developing new materials and designs to provide optimal fit based on each consumer’s cup shape and comfort and effectively absorb sweat, leaving the skin dry.
- For example, Chantelle has created high-impact sports bras for yoga, the gym, and other activities. Competitors are forging strategic agreements with their rivals and specialised companies to further support the market’s expansion.
The Intimate Apparel Market Was Driven by the Asia Pacific Area
- Personal gear sales in Asia are being pushed by a rise in new-age consumers with high income levels, a keen sense of fashion, and a desire to spend on high-end goods. Additionally, it is projected that the market would develop as a result of the expanding working-class populations in countries like India, China, and Japan as well as the increase in the number of women in the workforce.
- Due to the region’s rapidly increasing population, significant growth in income levels, westernisation of consumer behaviour, and changing lifestyles, the intimate apparel market will grow in APAC between 2022 and 2030. To boost sales and strengthen their market positions, major companies are focusing on expanding their operations in this area.
- Intimate clothing sales in the area were significantly damaged by the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. To curb the disease’s spread, governments in countries like China, India, and Australia instituted statewide lockdowns and COVID-19-related social distancing norms. Retail stores selling intimate goods were consequently shut down starting in the last week of January 2020 in countries like China. Nonetheless, as more stores in APAC started to reopen throughout May 2020, local suppliers’ sales did rise. The popularity of premium and high-quality tight clothes in APAC will cause the demand for intimate apparel to increase throughout the anticipated timeframe.
- As Europe has the largest market for intimate apparel, it is where all major lingerie market competitors concentrate their efforts. The growth of the Chinese market is the main driver of the intimate apparel market in Asia-Pacific. More than two-thirds of the global market for intimate apparel is made up of North America and Europe. The market for intimate apparel, however, is predicted to present future industry prospects as South East Asian nations like China and India continue to grow.
Competitive Landscape
Product variety, aggressive marketing, better styles and patterns, and strong branding are the main goals of intimate clothing companies. In order to better serve urban consumers, businesses are also expanding their offline distribution network by creating distinctive brand boutiques in key cities. Hence, collaboration with hypermarket stores and e-commerce companies constitutes the main marketing strategy of personal apparel firms.

Report Methodology
In order to get the most precise estimates and forecasts possible, Custom Market Insights applies a detailed and adaptive research methodology centered on reducing deviations. For segregating and assessing quantitative aspects of the market, the company uses a combination of top-down and bottom-up approaches. Furthermore, data triangulation, which examines the market from three different aspects, is a recurring theme in all of our research reports. The following are critical components of the methodology used in all of our studies:
Preliminary Data Mining
On a broad scale, raw market information is retrieved and compiled. Data is constantly screened to make sure that only substantiated and verified sources are taken into account. Furthermore, data is mined from a plethora of reports in our archive and also a number of reputed & reliable paid databases. To gain a detailed understanding of the business, it is necessary to know the entire product life cycle and to facilitate this, we gather data from different suppliers, distributors, and buyers.
Surveys, technological conferences, and trade magazines are used to identify technical issues and trends. Technical data is also gathered from the standpoint of intellectual property, with a focus on freedom of movement and white space. The dynamics of the industry in terms of drivers, restraints, and valuation trends are also gathered. As a result, the content created contains a diverse range of original data, which is then cross-validated and verified with published sources.
Statistical Model
Simulation models are used to generate our business estimates and forecasts. For each study, a one-of-a-kind model is created. Data gathered for market dynamics, the digital landscape, development services, and valuation patterns are fed into the prototype and analyzed concurrently. These factors are compared, and their effect over the projected timeline is quantified using correlation, regression, and statistical modeling. Market forecasting is accomplished through the use of a combination of economic techniques, technical analysis, industry experience, and domain knowledge.
Short-term forecasting is typically done with econometric models, while long-term forecasting is done with technological market models. These are based on a synthesis of the technological environment, legal frameworks, economic outlook, and business regulations. Bottom-up market evaluation is favored, with crucial regional markets reviewed as distinct entities and data integration to acquire worldwide estimates. This is essential for gaining a thorough knowledge of the industry and ensuring that errors are kept to a minimum.
Some of the variables taken into account for forecasting are as follows:
• Industry drivers and constraints, as well as their current and projected impact
• The raw material case, as well as supply-versus-price trends
• Current volume and projected volume growth through 2030
We allocate weights to these variables and use weighted average analysis to determine the estimated market growth rate.
Primary Validation

Leading companies from across the supply chain, including suppliers, technology companies, subject matter experts, and buyers, use techniques like interviewing to ensure a comprehensive and non-biased overview of the business. These interviews are conducted all over the world, with the help of local staff and translators, to overcome language barriers.
