India Kids Innerwear Market Trends:

Rising Disposable Incomes and Changing Consumer Preferences

The elevating levels of disposable incomes among Indian middle-class families are driving a noticeable shift in consumer behavior, particularly within the kids' innerwear segment. In FY 2023–24, India's per capita disposable income reached approximately INR 2.14 lakh, marking an 8% year-on-year increase. This financial growth has enabled parents to spend more on their children's apparel, especially innerwear. Per capita expenditure increased from INR 3,900 in early 2023 to INR 6,400 by the end of the year, indicating an increasing preference for discretionary spending on clothes. As a consequence of increased knowledge about comfort, hygiene, and style, demand for high-quality, branded children's innerwear has risen dramatically. Parents are increasingly likely to pick goods produced from skin-friendly materials with appealing patterns that reflect current fashion trends. In response, brands are innovating to match these changing preferences, accelerating market growth.

Expansion of E-commerce and Online Retail Channels

The rapid expansion of e-commerce platforms has transformed India’s retail landscape, significantly boosting the kids' innerwear market. In FY 2024, online innerwear sales surged by over 80% compared to the previous year, reflecting a strong consumer shift toward digital purchasing channels. This growth is not limited to metropolitan areas; consumers across more than 340 cities, including tier-2 and tier-3 hubs like Jaipur, Lucknow, and Patna, are increasingly turning to e-commerce for their innerwear needs. Notably, order volumes in tier-2 and tier-3 cities jumped by over 75% and 80% respectively over this period, underscoring rising digital adoption and trust in online shopping among consumers in smaller towns. The convenience of exploring a broad selection of products, accessing multiple brands, and benefiting from competitive pricing has made e-commerce an appealing choice for parents seeking quality innerwear for their children. Enhanced digital payment options and streamlined logistics have further fueled this transition. In response, brands are strengthening their online presence with features like detailed size guides, product descriptions, and customer reviews to support informed buying decisions.
