India Readymade Garments Market Trends:

Increasing Demand for Functional Fashion

People are progressively looking for clothing items that provide both fashion and functionality, as their everyday routines are becoming more dynamic and fast-paced. As work settings change with remote jobs, hybrid arrangements, and relaxed office attire, there is a transition toward apparel that offers comfort, adaptability, and versatile use. Clothing that includes stretchability, moisture-wicking, anti-wrinkle properties, and ease of maintenance are becoming highly sought after. Moreover, shoppers are placing greater importance on versatility, favoring garments that can seamlessly shift from formal to informal environments. This growing inclination for functional clothing is also reflected in the rising popularity of activewear and athleisure, as people prefer attire that combines fitness with style. As a result, the market is experiencing an increasing demand for garments that blend functionality with contemporary design, driving innovation and growth in the ready-made clothing sector. In 2025, Ranbir Kapoor launched his lifestyle brand 'ARKS' with a collection of premium essentials for men and women. The brand focuses on minimalist, timeless designs with a blend of functionality, style, and sustainability.

Expanding Retail Infrastructure

The development of retail infrastructure, especially the proliferation of contemporary retail formats like shopping malls and big chain outlets, is propelling the market growth. The growing presence of organized retail stores in urban and semi-urban areas is making ready-to-wear clothing more available to a broader range of users. Moreover, shoppers tend to buy ready-to-wear clothing from brick-and-mortar shops, boosting the overall market expansion. Additionally, the combination of omni-channel retail approaches, which allows buyers to explore inventories both online and in physical stores, enhancing convenience and elevating sales through various channels. Retailers are also focusing on upgrading their in-store experiences, providing a broader selection of products, and enhancing the overall shopping atmosphere to address various user preferences. In January 2024, Mothercare India announced a strategic alliance with Ed-a-Mamma, a sustainable kids and maternity wear brand. This partnership expanded Ed-a-Mamma's offline presence across India, offering a maternity and nursing wear collection in Mothercare stores. The collaboration aimed to enhance the in-store shopping experience for clients.

Shift Towards Sustainable and Ethical Fashion

The increasing consciousness regarding environmental and social concerns is leading to a notable transition towards sustainable and ethical fashion in India. Shoppers, especially millennials and Gen Z, are more worried about the environmental effects of fast fashion and choosing brands that advocate for eco-friendly methods, utilizing sustainable materials, and guaranteeing fair labor practices. This trend is motivating Indian clothing manufacturers to embrace eco-friendly production methods and integrate organic and recycled materials into their designs. Furthermore, there is a rise in demand for pre-made clothing that reflects the ethical principles of users, fostering the growth of the sustainable fashion sector in the market. Brands that openly share details about their sourcing, manufacturing, and ecological effects are becoming more popular, further influencing the market dynamics. In line with this trend, in 2025, the Clothing Manufacturers Association of India (CMAI) launched the 'Su.Re' website as a sustainable fashion directory. The platform aims to promote responsible sourcing and eco-friendly practices by connecting brands with over 600 verified suppliers. The Su.Re initiative is part of CMAI's effort to support sustainability in India's growing fashion market.
