The Indian retail sector has experienced significant growth in recent years, fueled by multiple factors. A major driver is the rise in disposable incomes, which has increased consumer spending capacity. As more people move up the income ladder, their purchasing power has expanded, leading to higher demand for both essential and luxury products. Additionally, the rapid expansion of the middle class has created a larger consumer base, contributing to the retail sector’s growth.
The Impact of Fast Fashion Trends
Another key factor fueling the sector’s rise is the growing popularity of fast fashion. Consumers, especially the younger demographic, are increasingly attracted to trendy, affordable clothing options, leading to the rapid growth of fast-fashion brands. The convenience of online shopping and easy access to international brands further supports this trend, making fashion accessible to a broader audience across the country.
