DUBLIN, August 16, 2016 /PRNewswire/ --

Research and Markets has announced the addition of the "Global Women Apparel Market 2016-2020" report to their offering.

The global women's apparel market to grow at a CAGR of around 3% during the period 2016-2020.

The report covers the present scenario and the growth prospects of the global women's apparel market for 2016-2020. To calculate the market size, the report considers the revenue generated from retail sales of women's apparel products to individual customers in the global market. The report also includes a discussion of the key vendors operating in this market.

Women's apparel is the largest segment of the global womenswear market. More than three-fourths of the global womenswear market's revenue is contributed by the women's apparel segment. The basic need for clothing, along with fashion consciousness and changing lifestyles, is considered to be the major factor driving the market's growth. For instance, the increased preference for leading an active lifestyle helped the sportswear and active wear segments of women's apparel to grow at an AAGR of more than 8% during 2010-2015.

According to the report, increase in number of working women will be a key driver for market growth. The working population segment is one of the major revenue contributors to the global apparel market. A significant share of the total revenue generated in the global women's apparel market is contributed by working women. Women aged 15-64 years are considered to be in the female labor force category. Globally, 55.28% of the total female population aged 15-64 years comprised the female labor force in 2014. The female labor force declined during the global recession of 2008-2009, when many women lost their jobs. However, the penetration has been increasing post-recession, owing to the global economic improvement.

Further, the report states that competition from other consumer goods will be a challenge for the market. The prevailing economic conditions influence consumers' ability and willingness to spend money and to add to their wardrobe collections. Economic instability and uncertainty compel consumers to restrict their buying to daily needs and to avoid purchasing non-essential goods. Such factors also urge them to seek items available at a discounted price rather than at full price. In addition, apparel marketers extensively compete against marketers of other consumer goods for consumers' disposable income.
