Strong growth in jeanswear is expected in developing markets. South America leads this growth with a 12.1 per cent, while the rest of the world is set to increase in value by 19.7 per cent during the period. Jeans is a category that has surpassed trends, allowing consumers to buy any jeans style they prefer without being out of step with fashion.
The major driving factors are rising disposable income of individuals and increasing preference for wearing denim jeans. The US is predicted to maintain its position as the largest jeans market globally, with China following in second place. Nearly half of China’s jeans production stays inside the country. Around 22 per cent of the jeans manufactured in China are traded outside of traditional retail markets in exchange for goods or services rather than currency.
Denim jeans are a specific type of trousers made of denim or dungaree cloth. Denim jeans, a significant part of the clothing and apparel industry, are mostly popular among the young. Denim jeans provide street style fashion to lifestyle. Adding leather boots gives a rough look. Denims jeans are a tough and durable material, cost effective clothing to wear and stylish at the same time.
