The Internet has directly opened the global apparel market up to consumers – and for manufacturers to sell their goods anywhere in the world. Direct-to-Consumer (D2C) sales therefore offer great opportunities, especially among younger consumers. They are eager – and smart enough – to skip the middlemen and go directly to the brands and manufacturers of their preference. These severely shortened short supply lines can go from anywhere on the world to anywhere else.
In the Netherlands, consumers alone order €817 million worth of fashion sector products from e-commerce stores outside of Europe in 2017.
Europe’s economic rebound is causing new markets to develop. East European countries are especially interesting. Disposable incomes in countries like Poland and Romania are growing every year and more and more consumers there are eager to spend on fashion. Demand is growing in these countries.
