Product Description:
Online clothing rentals include services that allow people to rent clothing items for a predefined period. This service is useful for people who seldom participate in occasional events such as weddings, theme parties, corporate parties, photoshoots and film productions. Fashion-conscious people who do not have the financial resources to buy selected clothes can also use the online clothing rental service. Online clothing rental services are also used for people who suffer temporary changes in their physique, such as pregnant women. Rental facilities have provided a cost-effective option for this demographic data, boosting the demand of the global online clothing rental market.

Market Drivers
One of the main drivers of the global online clothing rental market is the increasing ease of use of online retail. Thanks to the rapid development of communication technology, Internet shopping portals have quickly gained popularity in the last decade. Advances in mobile Internet technology have made the process more convenient, further increasing the demand for online purchases. The rapid growth of the middle class and business sectors in developing countries has expanded the target population of the online clothing rental industry. These two factors are also presumed to have a significant impact on the trajectory of the global online clothing rental business in the coming years. The tendency to create a unique personal style or a fashion statement without wearing the same clothes for a long time is also a factor accelerating growth.
Promising demographic groups in emerging nations such as India, China and Brazil are driving the growth of the online clothing rental market as the Internet penetration rate in these countries increases. The growing installations of broadband, which increases the demand for Internet shopping and online rental services, is increasingly available for the growing part of the population in such regions.
Restraints
But factors such as inadequate regulation, low consumer awareness and lower social acceptance are expected to impede market growth somewhat. The main restriction is the difference in fabric size. The rented clothes cannot be changed according to the size of the individual. Therefore, to overcome these limitations, the company is devising innovative ways, such as live chat with fashion experts. Some companies offer the same product in two sizes to help consumers choose the product that works best for them.
Market Segmentation
By End-User:
Depending on the end-user, the global online clothing rental business is divided into men, women and children.

The children's sector, on the other hand, is expected to register a significant CAGR during the forecast period. Children prefer to borrow clothes, as they grow quickly and need to change clothes.
