India Sustainable Fashion Market Insights
The sustainable fashion market, particularly in India, has been witnessing structural evolution and rapid expansion. Recording US$ 296.2 Mn in valuation in 2025, CMI expects the India Sustainable Fashion Market to register a strong CAGR of 13.6% and reach US$ 721.4 Mn by 2032.

The research conducted by CMI highlighted a major transition in India’s fashion value chain. It noted the shift from a materials-export-driven model to a full-stack sustainable fashion ecosystem that considers design, production, branding, and retail. However, challenges still exist in the form of gaps in circularity infrastructure, recycling capacity, and traceability architecture. In order to shape India’s global leadership over the next decade, addressing these challenges or gaps through supply chain modernization and policy-aligned investments will be critical.
