Overview of the Childrenswear Market in Germany

According to Mintel’s children’s apparel Germany market forecast, the industry is rebalancing to pre-pandemic levels due to increased prices, a return to in-store shopping, and rising birth rates.

As consumers are still adopting a frugal mindset due to the high cost-of-living, the sector will grow slowly but steadily, creating an ideal environment for new concepts such as vintage and rental to thrive and gain more kids apparel Germany market share.

Childrenswear in Germany: What Consumers Want and Why

  • Consumer Behaviour: The cost-of-living crisis remains on top of consumers’ lists as rising prices prompt parents to shift to cheaper retailers or buy less childrenswear. Price comparison will also become more common as part of the customer journey for buying childrenswear in Germany.
  • Children’s Apparel Trends: 37% of parents have prioritised shopping for clothes for their children over shopping for themselves with 28% switching to cheaper retailers or brands. This will benefit value brands’ kids apparel Germany market share, while higher-priced brands will have to offer cheaper lines or attractive bundles to retain customers.
  • Childrenswear Market Challenges: Amidst inflationary prices, concerns about sustainability are taking a back seat as eco-friendly products are usually more expensive. At the same time, however, new concepts around pre-worn fashion are expanding, especially since childrenswear has to be replaced frequently.

Children’s Apparel Germany Market Forecast

Trusted by global industry leaders

One of the biggest challenges we face is the need to get smart on a business or category real quick.

We are talking to clients who live and breathe their category every day and the expectation is that we will be able to get caught up very quickly, and bring the thinking that can help them.

We need to do that often in a matter of days, so it’s not a small ask. Mintel gives us a very articulate view of category conditions and does so at the speed we need it.

Jeff White, Business Development Director, Deutsch

We use Mintel Reports, mostly for financial services and ecommerce markets, plus a few retail and technology ones.

As a leading payments provider, we value additional insights into consumer behaviour, opinions and trends that are shaping the many different markets we operate in. Mintel is a very good and very quick way for us to obtain those insights.

We use Mintel to get a view on where a particular market is going, which can support us in product development and help us identify opportunities or indeed risks, it is a very useful barometer of a market’s potential.

 

Andrew Neeson, Market Intelligence Manager, VocaLink

Mintel is really good for getting a handle on a particular category quickly. If we are working on a new business pitch in an area we don’t have much experience in, it’s a brilliant way to get up to speed with what’s going on, what’s changing and what the key trends are in any category.

It’s very rare now that anyone will plough through a 200-page report – that’s why the summaries are really useful. We know they are backed up by a lot of detail, so if you need to go into something in more depth you know the information will be all there for you.

Pauline Robson, Managing Partner, Mediacom

We have such a great working relationship with Mintel on lots of different levels. As an insight partner, they have helped us to develop our business planning in specific categories as well as supporting our creative process but they’ve also been super helpful with facilitating our events in their inspirational offices near St Paul’s.

They’re an innovative company, with a client-focused team that always delivers.

Abby Carvosso, Group Managing Director, Bauer Media Group

Working in a customer-obsessed organization means that data and insights have to be at our fingertips. Mintel’s reports help us support anecdotes with real quantifiable insights. The summary sections (which I really like) helps save time by giving a birds eye view of the content before spending time combing through the pages.

Our business review discussions are strengthened by the relevancy of the reports to help us better understand our customers. In addition, the customer service received from the team (especially in crunch periods) makes the process of understanding customer behavior even better.

Ngozi Ngonadi-Nkwoji, Senior Marketing Manager, Amazon
