The Russia-Ukraine war disrupted the chances of global economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic, at least in the short term. The war between these two countries has led to economic sanctions on multiple countries, a surge in commodity prices, and supply chain disruptions, causing inflation across goods and services and affecting many markets across the globe. The market size of global fashion e-commerce is expected to grow to $1,222.32 billion in 2027 at a CAGR of 10.5%. The increasing use of the internet and smartphones is expected to contribute to the expansion of the fashion e-commerce industry. According to the DataReportal, the number of smartphone users in 2020 reached 5.22 billion which was about 66% of the world’s population. This has also led to an increase in the number of online shoppers. This scenario is anticipated to boost the demand for fashion and other e-commerce markets, generating higher revenue for the online fashion industry over the forecast period. Major players in the fashion e-commerce market are Amazon, Flipkart, Alibaba, Snapdeal, eBay, Myntra, ShoClues, AliExpress, HomeShop18, and Jabong. Rules concerning website content and the safety of consumer information are predicted to limit the growth of the market. The rules and regulations for companies about the content of the website make it difficult for players to manage their business. A major concern is mandating the use of local languages on their websites, as in countries with more than one local official language, it results in a higher cost for the companies dealing with online retail. This scenario is projected to act as a restraint for the fashion e-commerce market. Weakening brand trust and loyalty and high return rates are other major concerns for the growth of the fashion e-commerce market. The decline in brand loyalty can be due to several factors, including product quality, a lack of selection options, or better prices elsewhere. This, in turn, is a reason for the high return rates. The integration of artificial intelligence in fashion e-commerce is a key trend gaining popularity in the market. Companies in the market are focusing on building personalized experiences for buyers. The integration of AI with algorithms are designed to stimulate conversations with the potential buyers and provide style suggestions by using algorithms to suggest products that the customer might like. For example, in 2022, Sweden based clothing company, H&M Group partnered with US based cloud computing services provider, Google Cloud to enable stronger customer experiences and optimize internal supply chains with advanced machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities. The collaboration includes an enterprise data backbone with a core data platform, for enhancing H&M’s customer experience and supply chain enablement. Earlier the company had teamed up with Google to provide AI-based style suggestions for every individual by analyzing their activities and interests over one week. In October 2022, V-mart, a Mumbai-based value retail chain, acquired LimeRoad for an undisclosed amount.

The Russia-Ukraine war disrupted the chances of global economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic, at least in the short term. The war between these two countries has led to economic sanctions on multiple countries, a surge in commodity prices, and supply chain disruptions, causing inflation across goods and services and affecting many markets across the globe. The size of retail market is expected to grow to $37,665.83 billion in 2027 at a CAGR of 7.4%. Many retailers are adopting a robust and cohesive strategy for data analytics in management. This technology is being deployed to enhance supply chain efficiency, streamline operations to engage customers, and build loyalty. Data has become critical for most retail operations. With the rapid growth in retail data and the availability of technologies to analyze data, it will become easier for retailers to identify and meet the needs and expectations of their customers. This is expected to drive the market going forward. Major companies in the market include Walmart Inc., Sinopec Limited, Amazon.com Inc., PetroChina Company Limited, CVS Health Corporation, Costco Wholesale Corp, The Kroger Co, McKesson Corporation, Walgreens Boots Alliance Inc., and JD.com Inc. The outbreak of COVID-19 disease (COVID-19) has acted as a massive restraint on the retail market in 2020 as supply chains were disrupted due to trade restrictions and consumption declined due to lockdowns imposed by governments globally. COVID-19 is an infectious disease with flu-like symptoms, including fever, cough, and difficulty breathing. The virus was first identified in 2019 in Wuhan, Hubei province, of the People’s Republic of China, and has spread globally, including Western Europe, North America, and Asia. Steps by national governments to contain the transmission have resulted in a decline in the manufacture and trade of non-essential goods and an overall decline in economic activity, with countries entering a state of "lock down" and the outbreak having a negative impact on businesses throughout 2020 and into 2021. However, it is expected that the retail market will recover from the shock over the forecast period as it is a "black swan" event and not related to ongoing or fundamental weaknesses in the market or the global economy. The retail and e-commerce markets are increasingly investing in drones to reduce delivery times and increase profitability. A drone is an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) that is remotely controlled or flies autonomously using software-controlled flight plans in its systems. Using a drone for delivery allows retailers to cut costs and help provide customers with their products earlier than traditional delivery methods. For example, Amazon has been investing in its Prime Air deliveries via drones, which claim to complete the delivery within 30 minutes. Amazon has started delivery trials via drones in the UK but is still waiting for regulatory approval in the US. Asia-Pacific was the largest region in the retail market in 2022.

Healthcare fabrics refer to a technical textile with a focus on fiber-based goods used in healthcare settings for hygiene, prevention, and care that may also be antimicrobial, which guards against bacterial growth on the fabric. Healthcare fabrics are made from versatile fibrous fabrics and structures and are utilised in a medical environment either for the medication of an injury or for the arranging of an appropriate condition in clinical treatment. The main healthcare fabrics' raw materials include polypropylene, cotton, polyester, viscose and polyamide. Polypropylene is a flexible resin polymer and is used in absorbable dressings, as absorbents, and in the packaging of medical liquids.

The Russia-Ukraine war disrupted the chances of global economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic, at least in the short term. The war between these two countries has led to economic sanctions on multiple countries, a surge in commodity prices, and supply chain disruptions, causing inflation across goods and services and affecting many markets across the globe. The market size of the healthcare fabrics market expected to grow to $29.19 billion in 2027 at a CAGR of 9.8%. Increasing government initiatives towards hygiene are driving the growth of the healthcare fabrics market. Governments across the world are focusing on improving consumer awareness of hygiene and health issues. Medical textiles are used in various areas such as bedding, clothing, surgical gowns, cloth wipes, diapers, and others, which increases demand for antimicrobial textiles and healthcare fabrics. Hygiene issues influence buyers to purchase sustainable antimicrobial textiles that are built of pure fibres with a herbal finish. For instance, in 2021, in India, the Total Sanitation Campaign (TSC) has been working on expanding the awareness of female hygiene products in villages. These initiatives will play a pivotal role in expanding the use of hygiene products, which constitute an application area for healthcare fabrics. Hence, increasing government initiatives are expected to drive the market during the forecast period. Major players in the healthcare fabrics market are Knoll, Inc., Brentano Inc., Kimberly-Clark Corporation, Avgol Industries 1953 Ltd., Paramount Tech Fab Industries, Advanced Fabrics, Carnegie Fabrics, Herculite, Berry Global Group Inc., Carnegie Fabrics LLC, Eximus Corporation, Herman Miller, Inc., Standard Textile Co., Inc., Arc-Com, Trelleborg Engineered Coated Fabrics, Fabrico, Bally Ribbon Mills, and Precision Fabric Group, Inc. Healthcare fabric companies are increasingly focusing on developing sustainable fabrics for use in the healthcare industry. Companies are focusing on manufacturing fabrics that pose low environmental risk and emit fewer carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases. For instance, in 2021, a US-based coated fabrics company, Precision Textiles, launched a new eco-friendly fabric for use in personal protective equipment (PPE) called EcoGuard. The material contains an additive that helps it biodegrade up to 99% more quickly than typical polypropylene gown material. The isolation gowns made of polypropylene materials take over 600 years to biodegrade in a landfill, whereas the EcoGuard material accelerates the biodegradation process by approximately six years. In March 2021, SHL Healthcare AB, a Sweden-based healthcare products manufacturing company, announced a strategic partnership with NordShield, a Finland-based company specializing in the development of antimicrobial solutions. Through this collaboration, both companies agreed to develop and commercialize healthcare textiles incorporating natural material-based microbial protection. The textile products would satisfy the expanding demand for high-quality, long-lasting antimicrobial solutions in the medical industry.

Fast fashion refers to a strategy to the design, development, and marketing of apparel designs that places an emphasis on giving consumers access to fashion trends fast and affordably. Fast fashion means garments that move quickly from the catwalk to the stores to meet the new trends. Fast fashion clothing collections are supported by the foremost recent fashion trends presented at Fashion Week. The main types of fast fashion are pants, coat, skirt and others. Skirt is defined as the garment worn by women and girls that are secured around the waist and hang down around the legs. It is available in different genders such as women's wear, men's wear and various age including adult’s wear, teens wear, kids wear and others. The global fast fashion market is segmented – 1) By Gender: Women's wear, Men's wear 2) By Age: Adults wear, Teens wear, Kids wear, Other Ages 3) By Type: Pants, Coat, Skirt, Other Types The global fast fashion market size will grow from $106.42 billion in 2022 to $122.98 billion in 2023 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 15.6%. The Russia-Ukraine war disrupted the chances of global economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic, at least in the short term. The war between these two countries has led to economic sanctions on multiple countries, a surge in commodity prices, and supply chain disruptions, causing inflation across goods and services and affecting many markets across the globe. The market size of global fast fashion is expected to grow to $184.96 billion in 2027 at a CAGR of 10.7%. Increasing adoption of affordable clothes by the rising youth population drove the fast fashion market. According to the United Nations estimates of the world’s youth population, in 2019 the youth population totalled 1.2 billion and it’s projected to grow by 7.9% to 1.3 million by 2030. The youth population is attracted to unique, trendy, and affordable clothes.

Major players in the fast fashion market are Zara (Inditex), H&M Group, Fast Retailing (Uniqlo), Gap, Forever 21, Mango, Esprit, Primark, New Look, and River Island. Worker's low living wages and poor working conditions hamper the growth of fast fashion. In the fashion industry, the workers, women especially (women represent nearly 80% of the world’s garment workers), are paid very less. Women also face workplace abuses. According to the Global Labour Justice report, female garment workers in top companies of fast fashion in Asia face exploitation and mistreatment which includes poor conditions of work, low salaries, and overtime which leads to a lack of efficiency. By this, most people will not prefer the fashion industry to work. Therefore, low wages and terrible working conditions are affecting the growth of the fast fashion market. Virtual and augmented reality is being used by online and offline retailers in the fast fashion market. The use of virtual or augmented reality in the fast fashion market is to fill the gap between online and offline channels. These technologies enable the customer to try the product and see how it looks when they try the clothes or make-up on them by using virtual reality mirrors or cameras in their smart phones. For instance, applications such as Dressing Room are using augmented reality technology to enable shoppers to try outfits on an avatar.

Direct selling establishments are businesses that are engaged in non-store retailing of merchandise, except e-commerce, mail-order, and vending machine sales. The entities operating in this industry go to the customer’s location rather than the customer coming to them, such as in door-to-door sales. The main types of direct selling establishments are single-level marketing and multi-level marketing. Single-level marketing refers to direct sales carried out by sales associates. The various products include wellness, services, home and family care, personal care, clothing and accessories, leisure and education, and other products in the price range of premium, mid-range, and economy. The global direct selling establishments market is segmented - 1) By Type: Single-Level Marketing, Multi-Level Marketing 2) By Products: Wellness, Services, Home And Family Care, Personal Care, Clothing And Accessories, Leisure And Educational, Other Products 3) By Price Range: Premium, Mid-Range, Economy The global direct selling establishments market size will grow from $688.45 billion in 2022 to $763.85 billion in 2023 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11%. The Russia-Ukraine war disrupted the chances of global economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic, at least in the short term. The war between these two countries has led to economic sanctions on multiple countries, a surge in commodity prices, and supply chain disruptions, causing inflation across goods and services and affecting many markets across the globe. The market size of global direct selling establishments is expected to grow to $1,125.52 billion in 2027 at a CAGR of 10.2%. The need for additional income opportunities in developing and underdeveloped countries has been a driving factor in the direct selling establishments market. According to The Associated Chambers of Commerce and Industry of India (Assocham), the direct selling industry will reach $2169 million by 2021 in India. Direct selling could be a viable income source, even if someone wants to do it part-time. Direct selling, in the long term, promotes self-employment and financial independence. The ASSOCHAM paper also reveals that the average sale of each participant in India is about $300 per year. The need for additional income opportunities is expected to drive the direct selling establishments market during the forecast period. Major players in the direct selling establishments market are Herbalife, Amway, Mary Kay Inc., Infinitus, Tupperware, Vorwerk, Natura, JoyMain, DXN, and Belcorp. Increased demand for online shopping restrains the market for direct-selling establishments. E-commerce platforms offer more discounts on products compared to direct selling, encouraging consumers to switch from direct-selling establishments to online shopping portals. Direct selling platforms are now changing the business model so that they can survive in the market. For instance, in India, direct selling platforms such as Amway, Oriflame, and Tupperware started selling products through e-commerce portals such as Flipkart, Snapdeal, eBay, and Amazon, which is a disruption in the direct-sales business model. A few companies, such as Hindustan Unilever, have closed their direct-to-home model, HUL Network, and re-launched their Aviance beauty products and Ayush remedies on Amazon. According to Oberlo, by 2024, global online sales are expected to reach $6.4 trillion, and this is reducing the revenue of most direct-selling organizations. Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the direct selling business is an emerging trend shaping the direct selling establishment market. AI in the direct selling business is used to collect and analyse data about the customer, deliver highly intelligent automated customer service, and also help predict the re-stocking volume for product inventories. For example, AI helps in personalised email marketing, which is helpful for product recommendations and drip campaigns using the past behavioural data of the user. Chatbots are available at all hours and help in generating new leads and assisting customer service. For instance, Ventaforce is AI-powered direct selling software that simplifies product categorization, lowers the risk of downtimes or failures, and increases savings from operations. In January 2020, Natura & Co., a Brazilian personal care cosmetics company, acquired Avon Products, Inc. for an undisclosed amount.

The Russia-Ukraine war disrupted the chances of global economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic, at least in the short term.

For instance, the global retail analytics market will reach $5.1 billion in 2020.

The outbreak of COVID-19 disease (COVID-19) has acted as a massive restraint on the clothing and clothing accessories market in 2020 as supply chains were disrupted due to trade restrictions and consumption declined due to lockdowns imposed by governments globally. COVID-19 is an infectious disease with flu-like symptoms including fever, cough, and difficulty breathing. The virus was first identified in 2019 in Wuhan, Hubei province of the People’s Republic of China, and has spread globally, including Western Europe, North America, and Asia. Steps by national governments to contain the transmission have resulted in a decline in the manufacture and trade of non-essential goods and an overall decline in economic activity with countries entering a state of "lock down" and the outbreak having a negative impact on businesses throughout 2020 and into 2021. However, it is expected that the clothing and clothing accessories stores market will recover from the shock over the forecast period as it is a "black swan" event and not related to ongoing or fundamental weaknesses in the market or the global economy. Retail stores are increasingly using in-store automation to streamline retail shopping. Automation in retail stores is aimed at cutting costs and time involved in store operations such as container movement, merchandise scanning, inventory checking, retrieving, packaging, delivering products, and connecting with customers. Automation reduces waiting times, avoids stocking problems, enhances productivity, and improves the overall customer experience. Retailers are also focusing on using self-checkout stands for customers. Some of the major clothing retailers, such as Zara and Lifestyle, are using self-checkout systems.

Retail companies are increasingly working towards providing customers with a seamless shopping experience and are thus working towards integrating their brick and mortar stores with online shopping. Omnichannel retailing integrates the different methods of shopping available to consumers, such as by phone, online, or in a physical store. Retailers adopting this strategy offer customers numerous ways to purchase their products, through both online and offline channels. Thus, it is more flexible and convenient for consumers to purchase goods or services, which helps to boost sales. For example, Oasis, a UK-based fashion retailer, consolidates its e-commerce site, mobile app, and brick-and-mortar stores to provide an easier and better shopping experience. Associates working in the Oasis are provided iPads to give shoppers on-the-spot information on product availability. If an item is not in stock, the staff use their iPads to place an online order for the customer. A similar service is provided to online shoppers. If an item is unavailable online, customers can use the company’s service, wherein the retailer searches its stores for the product and ships it to the shopper.

Vending machine operators are integrating gamification techniques with their vending machines to enhance the customer experience. Gamification is the process of incorporating game-playing elements to motivate people to engage with a product or service. Due to its interactive nature between the customer and the product through the vending machine, it results in a better customer experience and an overall return rate. For instance, some of the e-commerce companies using gamification in shopping include eBay with its bidding and feedback system, Nike with its "winter’s angry campaign," BestBuy’s Cityville Presence, and Zappos, following gamified culture and customer service. Nescafe set up a Nescafé Smoovlatté vending machine in Malaysia, which invited people to pose, sing, or dance in order to get a free bottle of the drink. The Amstel Pause vending machine in Bulgaria invited people to do nothing for 3 minutes to get a free can of beer, thus indicating the increase in gamification techniques in vending machines.
