Vegan Fashion Global Market Report 2025

The vegan fashion market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $461.6 billion in 2024 to $503.0 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9%. The growth during the historic period can be attributed to heightened awareness of animal welfare, growing environmental concerns, the rise of ethical consumerism, the increasing influence of celebrity endorsements, and the growing demand for sustainable products.

The vegan fashion market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $702.7 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.7%. The growth during the forecast period can be attributed to the expanding vegan population, increased regulatory support for sustainable materials, a rise in the adoption of cruelty-free certifications, a growing retail shift toward plant-based alternatives, and increasing investor interest in ethical brands. Key trends in the forecast period include technological advancements in bio-based materials, innovations in plant-based leather alternatives, developments in cruelty-free production methods, ongoing research and development in sustainable textiles, and the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) in vegan fashion design.

The growing focus on animal welfare is anticipated to fuel the growth of the vegan fashion market in the coming years. Animal welfare refers to the ethical treatment of animals, ensuring they are free from harm, cruelty, and exploitation. The increasing focus on animal welfare is largely driven by heightened consumer awareness about the ethical treatment of animals and the environmental consequences of traditional fashion practices. Vegan fashion promotes animal welfare by advocating for cruelty-free materials and reducing the exploitation of animals in clothing production. It encourages more ethical fashion choices, contributing to a more sustainable and compassionate industry. For example, in January 2025, the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA), a Singapore-based animal welfare organization, reported 961 animal cruelty cases in 2024, involving 2,190 animals, a rise from 915 cases in 2023 and nearly double the 511 cases in 2022. Therefore, the growing focus on animal welfare is a key factor driving the growth of the vegan fashion market.

Leading companies in the vegan fashion market are increasingly adopting advanced technologies, such as three-dimensional (3D) design software, to enhance product visualization, minimize manufacturing waste, and improve the customization of eco-friendly, animal-free materials. 3D design software refers to computer applications that allow designers to create, model, and visualize objects in three-dimensional space. This technology enables the development of virtual garments, simulates fit, and streamlines production, ultimately reducing waste and boosting sustainability. For example, in August 2023, Alltrueist, a Canada-based sustainable fashion brand, introduced an innovative vegan fashion collection featuring customizable shoes, artisan-crafted belts, and zero-waste knitwear. By utilizing advanced 3D design software, the collection offers personalized shoe designs with a precise fit, demonstrating a strong commitment to sustainability and cruelty-free materials. This launch marks a significant advancement in the realm of ethical luxury fashion, merging technology with thoughtful, conscious design.
