Textile Retailing in Ireland - Market Research Report (2014-2029)

Over the five years through 2024, textile retailing revenue is expected to fall at a compound annual rate of 5.2%. Once a favourite pastime, knitting and sewing have fallen out of favour thanks to the internet boom and alternative entertainment like Netflix and scrolling on social media. As media consumption has shot up, traditional hobbies like knitting and making clothing have plummeted, as have fabric and haberdashery sales. The explosion of fast fashion has decimated the textile and fashion sector. Before, stitching up holes and repairing garments were ways to extend the life of clothing items, but this isn’t the case anymore. The popularity of fast fashion means it’s not worth the time or effort to replace a garment when something new can be bought for less than €20.

在2024年之前的五年间，纺织零售业的收入预计将以5.2%的复合年增长率下降。编织与缝纫，曾是一代人的喜爱休闲活动，却因互联网的繁荣及Netflix等替代娱乐方式的兴起而逐渐失宠。随着媒体消费量的激增，传统爱好如编织及服装制作业遭受重创，与此同时，纺织品及杂货店的销售额亦呈现断崖式下跌。快时尚的爆炸式增长已严重破坏了纺织与时尚行业。往昔，修补衣物、延长其使用寿命是常见做法，然而，在快时尚盛行的今天，由于新衣物的价格低于20欧元，修补衣物已不再值得花费时间和精力。
