Fashion / Lifestyle

Globally, fashion is a $1.5 trillion per year industry and the industry is expected to continue growing in the next few years as population and household incomes continue to rise in emerging economies. Nigeria represents a large and fast growing market for fashion and lifestyle businesses with industry stakeholders estimating that annual market spend of well over N10 billion.[/vc_column_text][vc_separator][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row el_class=”container”][vc_column width=”1/4″][vc_wp_custommenu nav_menu=”8″][/vc_column][vc_column width=”3/4″][vc_column_text]Value in the industry has typically been captured by high-end imports from Asia, North America, Europe and low-end imports from Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa. However, this trend is steadily being reversed as the business environment stabilizes and indigenous brands begin to carve a niche for themselves.

Players in the industry both at the designer and importer level and across the entire spectrum of the value chain are faced with challenges and potent opportunities. Branding, marketing, pricing, supply chain management, operational efficiency and competition all represent areas of concern for players in the fashion and lifestyle industry
