Bridal Wear Global Market Report 2025

Bridal attire encompasses the assortment of special garments and accessories donned by brides during their wedding ceremonies, reflecting their individuality, fashion preferences, cultural heritage, and the overarching motif of the event.

The primary categories of bridal attire include gowns and traditional ensembles. Gowns are elongated dresses commonly worn by brides on their wedding day, showcasing a diverse array of styles, materials, and patterns. These items are retailed through both physical and virtual outlets, catering to a variety of uses such as wedding gown rental services, bridal consultants, photography studios, and personal acquisitions.

Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report's Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.

The sharp rise in U.S. tariffs and the resulting trade tensions in spring 2025 are having a notable impact on the services sector, particularly in business services, IT, and professional consulting. The increased costs of imported technology, office equipment, and critical digital infrastructure are driving up operating expenses for service providers, compelling them to either pass these costs on to clients or absorb the financial strain themselves. Outsourcing firms and IT service providers are grappling with higher hardware costs and supply chain delays, which are disrupting project timelines and squeezing profitability. Furthermore, retaliatory tariffs have weakened demand for U.S.-based professional services in key global markets, slowing export-driven revenues. To navigate these challenges, the sector must focus on accelerating digital transformation, optimizing costs, and strengthening domestic client relationships to sustain growth and remain competitive in an increasingly uncertain trade environment.

This bridal wear market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry.

The bridal wear market size has grown steadily in recent years. It will grow from $65.6 billion in 2024 to $68.46 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.4%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to cultural traditions and customs, economic prosperity and disposable income, fashion trends and influences, social expectations and norms, rise of bridal magazines and media.

The bridal wear market size is expected to see steady growth in the next few years. It will grow to $79.94 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.0%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to sustainability and ethical fashion movement, digitalization and e-commerce growth, customization and personalization trends, rise of destination weddings and travel trends, demand for inclusivity and diversity in bridal fashion. Major trends in the forecast period include eco-friendly and sustainable bridal collections, virtual try-on and augmented reality experiences, minimalist and simplistic wedding dress designs, gender-neutral and non-traditional bridal wear, fusion of cultural and modern elements in bridal attire.

The forecast of 4.0% growth over the next five years reflects a slight reduction of 0.1% from the previous projection. This reduction is primarily due to the impact of tariffs between the US and other countries. The U.S. may face increased retail prices due to tariffs on lace fabrics, beaded embellishments, and couture garments sourced from India and Italy, limiting options for bridal fashion retailers. The effect will also be felt more widely due to reciprocal tariffs and the negative effect on the global economy and trade due to increased trade tensions and restrictions.

The growing number of weddings is expected to drive the expansion of the bridal wear market in the future. A wedding is a celebration of marriage where two people are united, typically involving a variety of customs, traditions, and rituals that differ by culture, religion, and social background. The demand for bridal wear is closely linked to the increasing number of weddings, as bridal attire and accessories play a central role in the ceremony, symbolizing tradition, style, and personal expression for couples. For example, in September 2024, Bowling Green State University, a US-based public research university, reported that in 2022, more than 2 million women (2,322,727) got married, marking an increase of 269,921 from 2021, when 2,052,806 women married. As a result, the rising number of weddings is contributing to the growth of the bridal wear market.

Key players in the bridal wear market are strategically focusing on introducing innovative and environmentally sustainable bridal wear collections to drive market revenues.

The REIMAGINE by DB Studio line aims to create lasting memories while minimizing environmental impact, catering to the environmentally conscious modern bride, as part of the brand's ongoing commitment to delivering new luxury to its clientele. Priced between $299 and $599, the collection features distinctive patterns reflecting current fashion trends, including striking necklines, intricate back details, versatile sleeve options, modern interpretations of classic lace, and more.

In December 2023, Allure Bridals Inc., a US-based wedding gown manufacturer and designer, completed the acquisition of Portia and Scarlett, an undisclosed transaction.
