Ko te heke o te kawemai he rite ki te kaihoko raraunga mo te tuawha tuawha o te 2023

The decline in consumer confidence further exacerbated the situation. I roto i te United States, ka patua e te kaihoko te rua-hauwhā i te 97.0 i te Paenga-whawha 2024, ko te tikanga he iti ake te utu o nga kaihoko ki te kakahu. This lack of confidence could further dampen demand and hamper a quick recovery in the apparel industry. The report also said that retailers' inventories fell sharply compared to last year. This suggests that stores are selling through existing inventory and are not pre-ordering new clothing in large quantities. Weaker consumer confidence and falling inventory levels indicate a decline in demand for clothing.

The report shows a confusing trend in the US apparel retail industry. I a matou e hoko ana i te Whare Waiata o te Paenga-whāwhā 2024, he iti ake te utu o te Paenga-whawha i te tau e wha o tenei tau i te tau e wha o tenei tau. Na, ahakoa he kawemai nga kaihoko, te maia o nga kaihoko me nga taumata o te whare mo te ngoikore o te hiahia, kua piki haere te hoko a te toa US.

However, this resilience appears limited. Ko nga hoko toa o te Whare o te Paenga-whawha 2024 e whakaatu ana i te utu mo te tau e wha i te tau e wha tau mai i te 1423.

The UK market also shows consumer caution. In April 2024, UK clothing store sales were £3.3 billion, down 8% year-on-year. Heoi, ko nga hoko kakahu ipurangi i te waahanga tuatahi o te 2024 i whakatauhia ki te hauwhā tuatahi o te 2023 This suggests that UK consumers may be shifting their shopping habits to online channels.
