What is the current demand in the fashion industry?
The fashion industry is going through a moment of transformation and growth, basically driven by the growing demand for personalisation and sustainability. This boom is reflected in figures that show a sustained recovery and expansion both nationally and internationally.
According to the 2024 Fashion Economic Report, in Spain the sector accounted for 2.9% of GDP in 2023, equalling its historical maximum and consolidating its role as the economic engine of our country, a growth that will continue to boom thanks to the huge demand for affordable and trendy products.
Globally, the fashion market was valued at $1.77 trillion in 2024 and is expected to reach $2 trillion by 2028, with annual growth of 4.2% between 2025 and 2030, thanks in large part to the fact that consumers are constantly looking for clothes that reflect their individuality and values.
For all these reasons, studying a Bachelor's Degree in Fashion Design like the one at UDIT is a sure way to gain access to a market that will continue to grow in the coming decades.
New job opportunities with sustainable and digital design
The fashion industry is evolving towards much more sustainable and digital practices, opening the door to new job opportunities for those who wish to combine creativity, technology and environmental responsibility.
