Major Challenges:

  • Presence of counterfeit products 
    • The rise in demand for children’s fashion products, like footwear, is driving a surge in counterfeit goods, particularly in developing areas. These knockoffs, often made from low-quality materials harmful to children’s skin, are spreading via e-commerce, expanding their reach. Customers struggle to tell real from fake due to similar appearances. The allure of cheap counterfeits hurts authentic vendors’ sales and reputation, forcing them to lower prices, cutting profits.
    • Promotional efforts fight back but eat into profits. Counterfeits disrupt sales volume and pricing, causing inventory issues for global vendors. Counterfeiters benefit from lower production and transport costs, making their goods cheaper. Established brands target markets like India and China, where counterfeits thrive due to low production costs, adding to price pressures. These challenges will hamper market growth.
