Fashion leads the Online Shopping boom

Are Retailers ready?

 

According to a recent FEVAD-AFP report, online retail in France reached €175 billion in 2024, with over 2.6 billion transactions. Leading the charge is the fashion and apparel sector, with nearly 60% of internet users buying clothing online. That makes it the top-performing category in the digital commerce landscape, generating €7.7 billion in revenue and accounting for 23% of total online sales. Even more telling is the growing appetite for second-hand fashion. Over half of online shoppers reported purchasing at least one used item in the past year, and 39% of those were in the fashion segment. This shift highlights the increasing role of sustainability and conscious consumerism in shaping modern shopping behavior.

 

Seizing opportunity in the Omnichannel Era

 

While this growth is exciting, it brings a set of operational challenges that many fashion retailers are still grappling with. As sales flow in from multiple channels, e-commerce platforms, physical stores, and third-party marketplaces, managing inventory and orders becomes increasingly complex. Often, the stock is fragmented across systems, making real-time visibility difficult. As a result, retailers face missed sales opportunities, longer fulfillment times, and rising costs. At the same time, today’s consumers expect a seamless shopping experience, whether they're browsing online, picking up in-store, or returning items through a different channel. 

 
 

Add to this the pressure to meet new environmental regulations and consumer demand for transparency, and it's clear that many retailers need to rethink how they operate. The question is no longer whether to go omnichannel, but how to do it efficiently and smoothly.
