The Business Research Company’s report on the Ethical Fashion Market provides insights into the global market size, growth rate, regional distribution, competitive landscape, key segments, emerging trends, and strategic opportunities.
What are the key drivers behind the ethical fashion market’s growth in recent years?
The growing awareness of the adverse effects of the textile industry on the environment is encouraging customers to opt for ethical fashion materials. The farms that grow raw materials used to make fabrics, including crops like cotton, flax, and hemp, need a lot of water. Up to 20,000 liters of water are needed to produce just 1kg of cotton. To protect these crops, some farmers use lots of pesticides and herbicides that end up in the environment. Manufacturing rayon, an artificial fabric made from wood pulp, has emerged in the loss of many old-growth forests. During the process that transforms it into the fabric, the pulp is treated with dangerous chemicals that eventually get their move into the environment. Considering these processes that harm the environment, people are shifting towards environment-friendly materials, and this factor is contributing to the growth of the ethical fashion market.
