    Analyst Opinion

    Men’s Apparel is the second-largest segment in the Apparel market. It is projected to see the largest increase in revenues of all segments between 2022 and 2027. When it comes to choosing their apparel, consumers are increasingly becoming conscious of purchasing criteria such as quality, comfort, and durability. This closer attention to purchasing has particularly been seen since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic. Furthermore, male fashion influencers are becoming increasingly popular, which is likely to continue influencing consumer purchases.
