WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW TODAY: TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 21, 2023 | | Dear BoF Community, The Middle East has become the global fashion industry's region to watch. A strong economic outlook, new government incentives and shifting fashion norms are fuelling optimism and growth expectation in the region's $89 billion fashion industry, according to our latest report from BoF Insights, "Fashion in the Middle East: Optimism and Transformation." Among the key insights from our analysis: High earners in the region spend $1,000 on fashion every month, according to BoF Insights' survey of 2,000 customers. Apparel and footwear sales will record an 8 percent annual growth rate versus accessories, which will grow at 5 percent. Brands can increasingly enter the region without a local partner, due to changing regulations, creating greater choice and control over local growth strategies.
