Women's woven jackets and blazers market in Portugal

Earlier Report Observations

The Portuguese market for women's woven jackets and blazers grew from 1.8 million units in 2018 to 1.9 million in 2019, supported by national incentive programs and industry efforts in innovation and circular economy, which facilitated access to the EU single market. However, in 2020, market volume fell to 1.7 million units due to global macroeconomic uncertainty, political disruptions, and climate change impacts that affected sales of winter apparel.

A sharp recovery followed in 2021, with market volume jumping 27% to 2.2 million units, and growth continued to reach 2.4 million units by 2023. This expansion was driven by pandemic-induced shifts in consumer habits, including increased demand for casual wear due to remote work and a significant rise in e-commerce, which broadened clothing accessibility and sales. Additionally, the Portuguese textile sector's historic export peak in 2022, partly fueled by US brands shifting production from China to Portugal, intensified industry activity. By 2023, demand showed slight cooling, but companies demonstrated resilience by seeking new markets.
