MARKET OUTLOOK
The [Asian clothing]( and apparel sector is expected to grow rapidly over the next five years. Annual average expenditure growth on clothing and footwear, at 9.5%,51 will comfortably outstrip that of any other region as rising incomes lead more Asian households towards discretionary purchases. As more households move into middle class income brackets, consumer complexity will increase and fashion will form a sizeable part of the identity of an increasingly sophisticated Asian consumer base. Demographics will help too. The fact that India and China accounted for a combined population of 2.6 billion people (37% of the worldâs population) means that the overall market size for clothing is also larger than that of any other region. Consumer expenditure on clothing and footwear in Asia is expected to reach almost US$920 billion by 2018, compared to an estimated US$625 billion in 2014.53 The Chinese market will account for over US$500 billion of this total by 2018, equivalent to those of Western Europe or North America.
Current demand growth seems to have become increasingly centered on fast fashion trends, with Asian consumers appearing to have an insatiable appetite for the quick and trendy brands that are proliferating. With incomes and aspirations rising, young affordable brands have rushed in to plug a gap for consumers who want to stay chic but cannot yet afford luxury items. The speed of turnaround on fast fashion collections also ensures high volume demand, as storefronts move quickly from one trend to the next, tapping into the immediacy brought on by greater connectivity, notably through social media. Even as luxury rms have reported slower growth in markets such as China, fast fashion retail brands such as H&M, Gap, Zara and Uniqlo are outlining ambitious store opening plans to sit in a sweet spot that blurs the distinctions between mid- market apparel and low-end luxury.
As with all things in retail, Chinaâs gravitational pull is impossible to ignore. In 2014 Inditex, the global leader in apparel with 6,500 stores in 87 countriesâlargely through its Zara brandâwas expected to open its 500th store in China. Meanwhile, as the US fashion retailer Gap closes stores in its domestic market, it is focusing on Japan, China and Hong Kong to propel growth (although a change in CEO may see that policy moderated). Gap currently has around 80 Chinese stores but opened 34 of those. It planned to open 30 more. The rm recently identified 50 cities in China with more than 5 million people to target for its physical store expansion, with a view to tripling Chinese revenue to US$1 billion by 2016. Meanwhile, Fast Retailing, owner of the Uniqlo chain, plans to open 100 Chinese stores a year. There are already over 250 Chinese Uniqlo outlets and the plan is to expand this to 1,000 by 2020. Fast Retailingâs ambitions in China are almost matched by H&M, currently the worldâs second largest clothing retailer, which planned to open 80-90 Chinese stores. The rm intends to triple the number of stores it has on the Chinese mainland over the next three years.
With the exception of US brand Forever 21, which has just seven Chinese stores,56 fast fashion expansion in China is notable because it has quickly moved beyond the coastal hubs and into faster growing smaller cities in the interior. These tier two, three and four cities offer much stronger potential for fast and affordable brands because they have a consumer base that is more aspirational (consumers in rst and second-tier cities have higher incomes and the in uence of luxury brands is stronger) and higher growth in consumer expenditure. British e-commerce player ASOS has also joined the fray, launching a dedicated Chinese-language site which will initially offer about 2,000 own-brand styles designed for the local market, with tailored delivery solutions and payment methods, local language customer care and a domestic distribution partner.
