Catalysts 

• Rising Consumer Demand for Affordability: The ongoing desire for stylish yet affordable clothing remains a key driver of the fast fashion market’s growth. Consumers, particularly younger demographics, seek the latest trends without the high price tag. H&M and Zara have successfully tapped into this demand by offering trendy items at lower prices, making fashion accessible to a broader audience globally.

• Market Saturation and Competitive Pressure: As the market becomes increasingly saturated, with numerous brands offering similar products, price wars and shrinking profit margins are becoming more common. This fierce competition compels and misguides brands to continually innovate in order to sustain their market share.
