Decorated Apparel Market Segmentation
Grand View Research has segmented the global decorated apparel market based on the product, end users, and region:
Based on the Product Insights, the market is segmented into embroidery, screen printing, dye sublimation, digital printing and others
Embroidery segment led the market and accounted for a 41.04% share of the global revenue in 2021. Growing prominence of embroidery being done over a multitude of silhouettes, without gender distinction is creating significant growth opportunities for embroidery-based decorated apparel.
Usage of threads varying in width, color, and finishes and adding trims from small beads to big patches proposes diversified functionality which is also attracting consumers. Embroidery decorated apparel is gaining traction in the market as it offers high quality, value addition, and a finish to the clothing.
Screen printing segment is anticipated to expand at the fastest CAGR of 14.4% from 2022 to 2030. The screen-printing technique is a trending printing method owing to the resultant crisp and durable prints that withstand long washes.
The change from manual to automatic screen-printing presses has accelerated the rise of screen-printing technology. Screen printing is one of the most common printing processes worldwide. Companies like Oregon Screen Impressions and Deluxe Screen Printing are some of the famous companies for screen printing.
Based on the End Users Channel Insights, the market is segmented into men, women and children
The women segment made the largest contribution to the global market by above 65.46% in 2021. Availability and demand for the different products, such as t-shirts, tops, kurtas, and gowns drive the growth of this segment. Moreover, product innovations in the women wear category, due to the changing consumer demands, are driving demand for the products such as graphic t-shirts, which have gained popularity as semi-formal as well as casual attire.
Rising instances of social gatherings among the younger population and the influence of social media have provided the masses with access to information on different types of clothing for various occasions, depending on the season, functionality, and fashion trends. This scenario is likely to drive the demand for decorated apparel for women such as printed t-shirts for everyday use, embroidered shorts and dresses for vacations, and dye sublimation for formal wear.
The men segment is projected to register a CAGR of 14.0% from 2022 to 2030. Rising product availability with a range of unique designs, color combinations, prints, and other decorations in graphic tees, coats, and designer blazers for men drive the scope of the decorated apparel market. Rising applications of printing and embroidery on apparel logos for sportswearsuch as a youth baseball team, school spirit wear, or walk/run fundraisers drive the demand for decorated apparel among men.
Moreover, visibility of embroidery decoration on men’s jackets, shirts, t-shirts, and trousers encourages apparel manufacturers to add these features to the apparel they offer. Furthermore, the increased preference among men for shirts monogrammed with the brand logo or with their own initials, in order to add distinction, has resulted in higher penetration of decorated apparel for men.
