The study analyzes the behaviour of more than 2 million online shoppers across 10 European countries, providing one of the most comprehensive views of the region\u2019s online fashion landscape.<\/p>\n<p>\nWhile fashion continues to play a central role in e-commerce, the category is entering a new phase of maturity. Across Europe, total e-commerce sales grew by 5% over the past year, compared with 3% growth for online fashion sales, highlighting the need for brands and retailers to find new avenues for growth.<\/p>\n<p><b>Key findings of the report:<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Fashion remains a core e-commerce category<\/b><\/p>\n<ul class=\"bwlistdisc\">\n<li>\nFashion represents around <b>one-fifth of total online spending<\/b> across Western Europe.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\nIt remains one of the largest e-commerce sectors, second only to hi-tech purchases in many markets.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\nDespite its scale, category growth is moderating as consumers are becoming more cautious and selective in what they are buying.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b>Market fragmentation is accelerating<\/b><\/p>\n<p>\nThe European fashion e-commerce market is becoming increasingly fragmented, with consumers shopping across a growing mix of platforms and business models. Established fashion specialists now compete alongside marketplaces, direct-to-consumer brands, off-price players, second-hand platforms and social commerce channels.<\/p>\n<p>\nMajor operators such as <b>Zalando, Amazon, Vinted, Shein, Temu and TikTok Shop<\/b> are serving different consumer needs from value and convenience to brand discovery, sustainability and curated shopping experiences.<\/p>\n<p><b>Gen Z demand for value and discovery<\/b><\/p>\n<p>\nGrowth is increasingly driven by younger consumers, particularly <b>Generation Z<\/b>, who are influencing trends, platform choice, and purchasing behaviour across the region.<\/p>\n<p>\nAt the same time, older consumers remain highly valuable. While shoppers aged 18\u201329 account for a growing share of fashion buyers, consumers aged 40\u201344 continue to generate some of the highest annual spending levels, creating opportunities for premium brands and omnichannel retailers.<\/p>\n<p><b>Sportswear continues to outperform the wider market<\/b><\/p>\n<p>\nSportswear remains one of the strongest-performing segments in European fashion.<\/p>\n<ul class=\"bwlistdisc\">\n<li>\n71% of sportswear brands recorded growth over the past year, compared with 51% of fashion brands overall.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\nThe rise of <b>Gorpcore<\/b> the trend that blends outdoor and technical apparel with everyday fashion is creating new opportunities for brands.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\nGorpcore shoppers spend significantly more than traditional activewear buyers and continue to deliver above-average growth rates.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b>Black Friday remains a critical growth moment<\/b><\/p>\n<p>\nPromotional events continue to play an important role in fashion e-commerce performance.<\/p>\n<ul class=\"bwlistdisc\">\n<li>\nBlack Friday now accounts for 9% of annual online fashion sales in Europe<b>.<\/b><\/li>\n<li>\nFashion remains one of the most purchased categories during the event.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\nConsumers are increasingly willing to try new brands during promotional periods, making Black Friday a key acquisition opportunity for retailers.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b>Second-hand fashion moves into the mainstream<\/b><\/p>\n<p>\nThe report highlights that resale is no longer a niche segment but a structural growth driver within fashion e-commerce. Consumers are increasingly embracing pre-owned apparel as a way to combine value, sustainability and access to premium brands.<\/p>\n<p>\nThis trend is particularly pronounced among younger shoppers, who are more likely to incorporate both new and second-hand fashion within their purchasing journeys. As a result, resale platforms are becoming an increasingly important part of the competitive ecosystem alongside traditional retailers and marketplaces.<\/p>\n<p><b>A market entering its next stage of evolution<\/b><\/p>\n<p>\nIsmail El Ouardirhi, Sales Director Omnicommerce Solutions, commented &#8220;The next phase of fashion e-commerce growth in Western Europe will be driven by shifting consumer attention and wallet share, with Gen Z shoppers, the rise of resale, and value-led platforms reshaping the market. As consumer journeys become increasingly fluid and influenced by identity, comfort, and inspiration, brands that deeply understand evolving shopper preferences will be well positioned to drive discovery and conversion.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><b>About the study<\/b><\/p>\n<p><i>Decoding the Fashion E-commerce European Market in 2026<\/i> is based on NIQ Digital Purchases data covering more than 2 million online shoppers across Germany, Austria, Belgium, Spain, France, Ireland, Italy, the Netherlands, Switzerland and the United Kingdom.
