Fast Fashion Companies Are Investing In Artificial Intelligence And Machine Learning

Fast fashion companies are investing in artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning to predict themes in trending patterns, silhouettes, colors, styles, and customer sentiment around the product. It helps in trend forecasting which helps back up the intuition and creativity of the design team by anticipating what style will work or fail. For example, In March 2022, San Francisco-based, Stitch Fix that delivers clothing to customers with the help of online stylists is working with AI. Stitch Fix is now designing garments created by algorithms that identify trends and styles missing in the inventory based on the combinations of the consumer’s selections of their favorite colors, patterns, and textiles that are picked by AI systems.

Western Europe Was The Largest Region In The Fast Fashion Market

Western Europe was the largest region in the fast fashion market and was worth $26,741.1 million in 2021. The fast fashion market is supported by the presence of a well-developed textile production industry, and high spending on apparel and fashion in the region. High-end luxury apparels are produced by developed Western European countries, such as Italy, UK, France, and Germany. The presence of a large retail industry also supported the consumption of fashion apparel in the region. The high demand for fast fashion in the region is supported by presence of big European clothing retailers Inditex SA and Hennes & Mauritz AB, expecting high demand for fast fashion as consumers try to return to some semblance of normality.

Inditex (Zara SA) Held The Largest Share In The Fast Fashion Market
