Versatile fashion drives growth amid economic polarisation
Apparel and footwear in Colombia recorded modest value growth in 2025, driven by consumer demand for versatile comfort-driven fashion, the rise of sportswear lifestyle, and continued expansion of private label. Growth was supported by the "new formal" trend merging streetwear with elegant approaches, although volume sales declined due to pressure on household budgets. Economic challenges created market polarisation between bargain hunters and premium spenders. Ultra-fast fashion platforms such as Shein capitalised on microtrends, while established players adopted omnichannel strategies and discount-driven activations. Local brands such as Dante leveraged e-commerce and social media, while Mundo Único introduced innovative functional products, as sustainability and experiential retail are anticipated to shape future growth.
