Across the forecast period, there is expected to be a growing demand for eco-friendly and ethically produced clothing and footwear, with consumers becoming more conscious of their purchases' environmental and social impact. Apparel and footwear specialists will continue to respond to these demands over the forecast period, by focusing on sustainable materials and enhancing the transparency of their supply chains to meet these evolving consumer expectations.
Across the forecast period, there is also set to be ongoing developments in retail e-commerce, including personalised user experiences, the expansion of click-and-collect services, and other improvements to the online path to purchase. In this light, these retail e-commerce sales may challenge the potential growth of brick-and-mortar stores.
A significant portion of sales in both the apparel and footwear markets is attributed to fast fashion and sportswear. Over the review period, there was an increasing presence of sportswear brands opening dedicated concept stores in Ireland, along with a greater emphasis on sportswear in visual merchandising strategies.

Apparel and footwear specialists are chained or independent retail outlets with a primary focus on selling one or more of the following categories: clothing, footwear, and/or fashion accessories (costume jewellery, sunglasses, belts, hats, gloves, handbags, scarves, etc.). Apparel specialists include specialty apparel like wedding dress shops. Example brands include Primark, TJ Maxx, and Zara. Sportswear retailers, such as Adidas and Nike, are excluded from this channel and are included in Sports Goods Stores; this is due to the companies considering themselves sports companies as opposed to apparel companies.
