The UK's per capita consumption of men's or boys' denim trousers and breeches has shown a declining trend from 2013 to 2023. The value decreased from 0.47 in 2013 to 0.36 in 2023. Notably, there was a significant drop in 2020 with the per capita volume hitting 0.32, likely influenced by the pandemic's impact on consumer habits. A slight recovery followed, but the trend remains downward with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of approximately -2.33% over the last five years.
Future trends to watch include potential market stabilization or growth driven by renewed interest in durable and versatile fashion, along with sustainable practices that could influence purchasing behaviors and shift focus back to denim as a staple wardrobe item.
