Household expenditure on clothing and footwear in France, as a percentage of GDP, is forecasted to slightly decline from 1.6% in 2024 and 2025 to 1.5% from 2026 to 2028. This consistent level from 2026 onwards suggests a stabilization in spending relative to GDP, accompanying potential shifts in consumer behavior or economic changes.
For future trends, it is crucial to monitor:
- Consumer confidence and economic conditions, as they heavily impact discretionary spending.
- Growth of sustainable and digital fashion, which may alter spending patterns.
- Inflation rates and their effects on purchasing power and retail prices.
