Apparel and footwear in 2024: The big picture
In 2023, apparel and footwear in the Czech Republic faced challenges due to a post-pandemic slump, compounded by broader geopolitical and economic uncertainties. However, 2024 presents a more optimistic outlook, characterised by a recovery in demand and growing consumer confidence.
2024 key trends
Sustainability has taken a backseat in consumer decision-making, as price remains the dominant factor when purchasing clothing and footwear. While there is a heightened awareness of sustainable practices in the fashion industry, Czechs are primarily driven by the affordability of fast fashion rather than environmental concerns.
Competitive landscape
The Pietro Filipi brand, once a leading name in Czech fashion, has undergone significant changes. After being acquired by the investment group Natland in 2022 and subsequently sold, the brand was bought by DaniDarx, the company behind Trenyrkarna.
Retailing developments
Czech fashion search engine GLAMI has expanded into Poland and is now active in 13 countries. GLAMI offers over 38,000 fashion brands and accessories from 4,600 e-commerce shops, with plans to enhance its use of artificial intelligence in both internal processes and customer interactions.
What next for apparel and footwear?
The outlook for apparel and footwear in 2024 remains positive, supported by an improving economic environment. Lower inflation is expected to fuel retail growth, particularly in comfort and casual apparel, with increased demand for sportswear, shorts, and trousers across both men’s and women’s categories.
