Industry Trend: 60% of Consumers Demand Sustainable Fashion

A 2024 Nielsen Global Sustainability Report reveals that 60% of global consumers are willing to pay a 10–15% premium for apparel with verified sustainability credentials. This shift is driven by:

EU Regulatory Pressure: The Textile Strategy 2030 mandates Digital Product Passports (DPPs) for all garments sold in the EU by 2025 (EU Regulation 2023/741).

Circular Economy Goals: Brands must achieve 18% recycled polyester usage and 50% reduced water consumption by 2030 (Global Fashion Agenda, 2023).

Fashion brands failing to adopt NFC DPPs risk losing market share—43% of Gen Z shoppers boycott brands with opaque supply chains.
