Sintesi
The global swimwear market has experienced robust growth, starting from a valuation of $21.18 billion in 2020, rising to $22.6 billion in 2023, and is expected to reach $28.84 billion by 2027, with a compound annual growth rate of 6.7%. This growth trajectory is attributed to growing consumer interest in watersports and seaside vacations, coupled with an evolving fashion sense and higher disposable incomes. Europe remains a major importer of swimwear, despite its relatively smaller share of the overall clothing market, with the EU importing swimwear worth 2.1 billion euros, driven mainly by women's and girls' swimwear, which accounts for 76.2% of imports. China has a strong market presence, commanding a notable percentage of sales for men's (around 52%) and women's (around 49.8%) swimwear in 2022.
Analyzing the Italian swimwear market: understanding consumer behavior and sector dynamics
In Italy, the swimwear market has performed remarkably well, flourishing thanks to innovation and research. Demand is subject to seasonal peaks, with summer bringing an increase in purchases, mainly driven by female consumers. The role of women in this market segment has transformed swimwear into a highly appreciated fashion item. Italy's participation is marked by substantial sales figures, second only to France in the European context, with annual sales fluctuating around $700 million. The Italian swimwear market can be divided into two segments: the "technical" segment, intended for professional aquatic activities, and the "leisure" segment, intended for casual use on the beach or by the pool. Both segments are influenced by fashion trends, technological advances in materials and design innovations. Women's demand has seen the advent of leisure swimwear as a fashion item, while technical swimwear remains a niche for athletes and enthusiasts. The dominance of national brands has given way to a fragmented landscape, with growth in the low- and high-end segments at the expense of mid-range suppliers. Fast-fashion giants are carving out market share thanks to their fast turnaround and trendy designs, while luxury brands maintain their position by attracting a clientele in search of exclusivity and superior quality.

Riepilogo ed estratti
1 Market Summary
1.1 Definition and presentation
The swimwear market can be considered a sub-segment of the broader clothing market and can be divided into two main categories:
- "technical" swimwear, used by swimmers or sportsmen;
- "Leisure" swimwear, used for beach or pool wear
In Italy, the swimwear market has been performing exceptionally well recently, driven by a supply that is constantly innovating and researching. Undoubtedly, the market is characterized by seasonal demand and a greater push coming from female consumers, who precisely are responsible in part for the transformation of the swimsuit into a true fashion item.
Historically dominated by a few national brands, to date the market image is highly fragmented, driven by growing demand in the low-end and high-end segments, at the expense of the middle-end. Consequently, fast fashion giants are succeeding in gaining market share even in the swimwear segment, while on the other hand, luxury brands continue to perform well by attracting a different type of clientele.
The Italian industry is therefore facing a series of challenges coming both from the progressive incidence of the online channel and from the stringent competition of an increasing number of players, in a market that becomes highly driven by materials, designs and fashion trends.
