Demand for maternity wear is increasing at a robust pace owing to the increasing influence of fashion on pregnant women. Moreover, the number of pregnant working women in emerging nations is increasing rapidly which is expected to boost the demand.

Fashion consciousness is increasing among modern mothers. This factor is expected to drive the demand for the outerwear segment.

Maternity wear is specifically designed to provide extra comfort to mothers during their gestation period. Maternity wear has loose-fitting and is designed using fabrics such as spandex and elastane.
