EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
"Jeans represent democracy in fashion"
- Giorgio Armani.
74% of American consumers say they love or enjoy wearing denim. We love denim so much that we purchase about 450 million pairs of jeans each year. Denim is the most extensively produced and used apparel in the U.S. today. The market is cyclical and sensitive to employment rates, production levels, fashion trends, celebrity endorsements, lifestyle changes, and other such factors. The market was resilient during the recession, yet 2011-2012 saw strong volume and value growth for this apparel category. Astonishingly, the world market for denim jeans is projected to exceed $xx billion by the year 2015.
This leads industry analysts to safely believe that the market is still promising for many opportunities in denim. The U.S. and global jeans market was able to weather the recession, posting positive growth rates of 3% and 2% (US dollar fixed exchange rate) in 2008 and 2009, respectively, 2010-2011 marked a return to strong growth. While overall apparel recorded positive value growth throughout the recession, jeans outperformed the wider market segments thanks to being one of the most versatile and consistent items of clothing in the American wardrobe.
Markets with the highest jeans volume per capita are North America, Australia and Western Europe. The recession may have led consumers to simply buying jeans to replace old, worn-out pairs, but now the U.S. economy is experiencing a recovery. Jeans are starting to be treated like a luxury again, with the global share of premium jeans showing increases in 2011. The spike in annual sales for global luxury brand True Religion in 2011 illustrates the strong demand for luxury denim and the fact that jeans are no longer merely considered as casual wear.
Improvements in the shape and fit of jeans are also boosting category sales globally. Trends from Latin America and Africa, where females prefer clothing that shows off a curvier figure, are being exported globally. Levi's Curve ID denim line clearly demonstrates this trend. Curve ID is a successful collection of jeans that offer a more flattering fit for women with curvier body shapes, in Asia, Europe, North and Latin America.
