In addition, local legislation is playing an increasing role. The combination of these external factors should lead to a greater contribution by retailers to climate and sustainability goals.

#Fridayinspo is written today with an F for #forecasting. Revolutionizing Fashion with Forecasting Technology 🌐👗 The #fashion industry, producing 15-45 billion items of clothing annually, is grappling with the issue of overproduction: a sustainability and commercial problem. However, the advent of fashion forecasting technology might be the solution. WGSN and OC&C Strategy Consultants are exploring how accurate forecasting can address overproduction, improving margins and efficiency while reducing waste. Agile, #AI-informed buying processes are enabling brands to refine their range in line with consumer demand, driving significant value. A case study reveals that a mass-market retailer could have improved margin by £1m-1.5m in its Women’s Skinny Jeans line if more accurate forecasting data was used. The fashion industry’s operating model is being disrupted in several ways: - The landscape of #trends is shifting. - Technology is supporting efficiency and decision-making. - Shorter supply chains and stock aggregation are enabling flexibility. - Real-time planning is becoming more prevalent. - Circularity, rental, and resale are gaining traction. This innovative approach to tackling overproduction is a testament to the power of #technology and #data in transforming industries. It's inspiring to see how AI and accurate forecasting can not only enhance commercial success but also contribute to #sustainability efforts in the fashion industry. This is a clear example of how #innovation can drive both economic and environmental progress. What are your thoughts on the potential of fashion forecasting technology in addressing overproduction? How do you see this impacting the future of the fashion industry? Read more about it here: https://buff.ly/3yIsAAc #trend #foresight
