The global lingerie market size was estimated at USD 94.63 billion in 2024 and is projected to reach USD 165.69 billion by 2033, growing at a CAGR of 6.7% from 2025 to 2033, driven by rising body-positivity and inclusivity trends that boost demand for comfortable and diverse styles, along with e-commerce growth and social media marketing, which accelerate premiumization and global adoption. A key global trend in the market for lingerie is the shift toward comfort-first, wire-free, and multifunctional lingerie as consumers prioritize breathable, everyday styles like bralettes and seamless fits over traditional push-up designs, driven by hybrid lifestyles and demand for practical essentials.
Growth in the global market is being driven by a functional shift in women's wardrobes, where lingerie is no longer just an innerwear purchase but part of daily comfort and wellness. Post-pandemic lifestyle changes and hybrid work culture have fueled demand for wire-free, breathable, and stretch-fit bras that can be worn for long hours, replacing traditional push-up designs. Sales data from retail platforms like ASOS, Zalando, and Myntra show bralette and seamless categories growing faster than underwire bras, reflecting a real behavioral shift rather than a fashion cycle.
Another major driver is the rise of size-inclusivity and body realism, which is expanding the customer base globally. Instead of limited "S-M-L" options, brands now offer inclusive fits across band and cup combinations, including plus-size and petite segments. Retailers such as Savage X Fenty, Marks & Spencer, and H&M have scaled sizing ranges based on demand analytics, while AI-powered virtual fitting tech from companies like TrueFit and Fit Finder has reduced return rates by solving size mismatch issues-converting more shoppers online and boosting lingerie revenue.
Another key factor driving the market growth is the premiumization of everyday lingerie, powered by social media discovery and brand storytelling. Consumers across middle-income countries are trading up from unbranded basics to branded mid-segment products offering better fabric, fit, and durability. In markets such as India, Brazil, and Southeast Asia, brands like Clovia, Zivame, and Hope Lingerie are monetizing aspirational buying through influencer try-on content, installment payments, and style education. This has turned lingerie from a low-involvement purchase into a lifestyle product, raising average selling prices and accelerating market growth.
