Over the past few years, children in developed economies in the Americas and Europe have become highly fashion-conscious. These children are treated like adults and they are continually exposed to fashion media and branded clothing. In addition, international travel and awareness about branded clothing among their peers is also contributing to the awareness of luxury and designer brands among children.

Wealthy parents, celebrities, and high-profile business people also prefer to clothe their children in luxury brands for numerous reasons. The growing desire among children to dress like adults and experience the newest fashion trends is inspiring several luxury brands to create miniature versions of adult clothing for children. Therefore, the increasing demand for luxury children's wear in developed economies is a trend that is expected to fuel the growth of the Global Children's and Infant Wear market during the forecast period.
