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. The apparel manufacturing companies are therefore focusing on bringing fashion clothes from the most recent fashion trends presented in fashion week. The growing preference for affordable fast fashion clothes by the increasing youth population boosted the fast fashion market. 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.

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.

Cooling fabrics refer to a type of fabric that has the ability to react quickly to body heat and interact with body temperature to keep the body temperature at a reasonable level during hot weather and physical activity. These fabrics are engaged in manufacturing cooling fabrics The main types of cooling fabrics are synthetic cooling fabrics and natural cooling fabrics. Synthetic cooling fabrics are manufactured using synthetic fibres such as polyester, spandex, and nylon. Synthetic fabrics are considered more suitable for outdoor sports activities as it regulates the body temperature of the wearer through their superior evaporative characteristics. Natural cooling fabrics are manufactured using natural fibres like cotton, chambray and linen which allows for airflow and circulation in and out of the fabric. The various types of textile include woven, nonwoven, knitted, and others. The cooling fabrics are used in different areas including sports apparel, lifestyle, protective wearing, and others.

The scarcity of raw material and labour in the cooling fabrics industry has led to an increase in retail prices lowering the demand for these apparel. Retailers limited the order of garments that required scarce raw material, as they had to pay a higher price. For example, in India, the low availability of cotton due to low water availability, high incidence of pest attacks, and inadequate southwest monsoon compelled the retailers to increase the prices of cotton apparel as they had to pay a higher price to the manufacturers for procurement. This increase in prices affected the demand for cotton, which in turn impacted the natural cooling fabric manufacturing market.
