MARKET OVERVIEW
1.1 Definition and scope of the study
The lingerie market includes all women's underwear and sleepwear. The footwear segment is also included in the scope of the study, while swimwear and men's underwear are excluded, each of these two markets being the subject of a complete study.
The lingerie market is divided into four segments: corsetry (bras, brassieres), daywear (panties, corsets, garter belts), nightwear (negligees, pyjamas) and footwear (stockings, tights). Corsetry is the dominant segment, accounting for almost half of the market share.
The global lingerie market is booming. It is expected to grow at a CAGR (combined annual growth rate) of 4.5% between 2021 and 2029. The European market constitutes 39% of the global market and is expected to grow at a similar rate to the global market.
The French lingerie market is part of the structural decline of the women's apparel market in France. Indeed, the French lingerie market is in decline due to the success of comfortable, less expensive lingerie. Lingerie represents 18% of women's clothing budget.
The Covid-19 crisis has largely affected the sector, to the detriment of physical stores and to the benefit of pure-players and digitalized players. The lockdowns have also highlighted the main purchase criterion for lingerie: comfort. The "no bra" trend, which consists in not wearing a bra, is indicative of the difficulties in finding lingerie that suits the consumers. Purchases are thus becoming more and more functional.
However, many growth drivers are driving the lingerie market, in particular the digitalization of the market, the diversification of the offer for all bodies and inclusive fashion, as well as the development of sustainable products.
