Industry Insights

The global Cashmere Clothing market size was valued at USD 2.66 billion in the year 2018. The market is estimated to expand at a CAGR of 3.96% during the forecast period of 2019 to 2025. The rising popularity of these products as fine and ideal woolen clothing is driving their demand, thereby supporting market growth.

Cashmere clothing products are made using Cashmere yarn. This type of wool is finer, softer, lighter, as well as stronger than other wool types. It also has high moisture content and hence it is easily adjustable to different temperatures. Moreover, it helps enhance the aesthetic appeal. These factors are expected to augment the product demand.

Rising product popularity and demand for premium quality clothing across the globe due to increased disposable income levels are also estimated to spur market growth. On the other hand, a costly production process coupled with a limited supply of raw materials may hurt the market growth. Sweaters & coats, pants & trousers, and tees & polo are the major types of Cashmere clothing.

These products are comparatively costly and thus are considered as luxury clothing apparels. North America is expected to be the fastest-growing regional market from 2019 to 2025 due to the increased sales of these products. Europe being the fashion hub of the world is estimated to account for the largest market share by 2025. Moreover, the presence of several prominent global luxury brands in Europe will drive the regional market.
