The report projects that this upward trend will persist, with domestic brands expected to grow at a compound annual rate of 10% from 2020 to 2025.

These brands have a deep comprehension of the cultural nuances and sensibilities unique to the Indian market, enabling them to create products that resonate with their target audience.

Another factor contributing to the triumph of domestic brands is their ability to offer products at more affordable prices compared to their international counterparts. This affordability factor holds particular significance in price-sensitive Tier II and III cities, where consumers are conscious of their budget. By providing cost-effective options without compromising on quality, domestic brands have gained a competitive advantage and successfully gained market share in these cities.

The success and growth of India's domestic fashion brands signify a shift in consumer preferences and the rising influence of indigenous fashion. As these brands continue to expand their reach and cater to the evolving demands of Indian consumers, they are poised to further strengthen their dominance in the fashion market, especially in Tier II and III cities.
