Top Companies in the Children’s Wear Market

The global children’s wear market reached a value of US$ 260.6 Billion in 2021. Children’s wear refers to clothing worn by children between the ages of 0 months to 12 years. Some commonly used children’s wear includes outerwear, innerwear, nightwear, socks, and tights. They are manufactured using high-quality materials, such as hosiery, cotton-, polyester-, silk- and satin-based fabrics. Compared to clothing for adults, they are generally more casual, comfortable, flexible, breathable and suitable for play and rest. Nowadays, children’s wear is widely available in gender-specific and gender-neutral options in various styles, colors, and cloth materials, depending upon the requirements of the wearer. 

As per the analysis by IMARC Group, the top companies in the children’s wear industry are manufacturing high-quality premium apparel that provides optimum comfort and safety for kids. They are also offering matching outfits for kids and parents due to the emerging trend of twinning with children, such as mommy and me, and mini-me dresses. Besides this, the leading manufacturers are introducing new clothing lines influenced by celebrity outfits. They are also focusing on the development of websites or online retail fashion portals that offer hassle-free shopping experiences with a user-friendly interface, a vast clothing collection, and lucrative discount offers. Furthermore, extensive investments in aggressive promotional activities and celebrity endorsements in advertising campaigns for different brands are positively influencing the market growth. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market value to reach US$ 352.4 Billion by 2027, growing at a CAGR of 5.1% during 2022-2027.
