Consolidation and acquisitions are key components of this growth - particularly in
emerging markets where larger global players are partnering with national companies,
who offer cultural knowledge and loyalty but need the buying power, business acumen
and sourcing networks of large companies.

Regardless of nation or class or other demographic or psychographic profiles,
experts agree that consumers love a bargain. They love good quality brands at very
low prices. This will continue to be the ultimate driver - discount stores are
typically not as convenient, not as organised and not as merchandised as full-price
counterpoints, but the distinguishing factor will always be price.

This exclusive report is the first study to cover this growing phenomenon in the
clothing industry, containing forecast data along with key market trends,
comparisons of major markets, global product trends and company profiles of the
major players world-wide including Wal-Mart, H&M and Costco.
