Boston, MA -- (SBWIRE) -- 07/18/2014 -- In Australia, men have become more interested in and confident with fashion. In fact, industry sources report that men are shopping more for clothes as they are becoming more proactive and concerned with their fashion choices, and they want to know how they can dress better. One of Australia's top modelling agencies, Chic Management, reported that due to an increase in marketing spending for the male audience, there was an upsurge in work for male models in 2013, whilst fashion stylists have reported a two- or threefold increase of their male clientele. This has resulted in a 3% growth of menswear value sales and 1% growth in volume sales in 2013. Sales in the category were mostly driven by office attire, formal occasions and key events, such as the spring racing season.

Competitive Landscape

Despite a difficult year Pacific Brands led menswear sales in 2014 with a 7% value share. This was largely explained by the positive results from its underwear segment, particularly, its new Bond retail stores, and the performance of its premium footwear brands.

Industry Prospects

Menswear is anticipated to register CAGRs of 1% in both constant value and volume terms as male consumers increasingly continue to take charge of their clothing decisions. Despite the renewed interest in the category, employment and consumer sentiment, which usually provide signals for the demand of men's outerwear, are likely to have a negative impact on the category during the forecast period. In fact, it has been predicted by the Reserve Bank of Australia that unemployment will increase in the forecast period as the economy continues to grow below the trend pace.
