The growing emphasis on animal welfare is expected to propel the growth of the vegan fashion market going forward. Animal welfare refers to the well-being of animals and the ethical treatment of animals, ensuring they are protected from harm, cruelty, and exploitation. Increasing focus on animal welfare is driven by rising consumer awareness about the ethical treatment of animals and the environmental impact of traditional fashion practices. Vegan fashion promotes animal welfare by using cruelty-free materials, reducing the exploitation of animals in clothing production, and encouraging ethical fashion choices, contributing to a more sustainable and compassionate industry. For instance, in January 2025, according to the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA), a Singapore-based animal welfare organization, there were 961 animal cruelty cases in 2024 involving 2,190 animal victims, up from 915 cases in 2023 and nearly double the 511 cases in 2022. Therefore, the growing emphasis on animal welfare is driving the growth of the vegan fashion market.

Key players in the vegan fashion market are focusing on technological innovations, such as three-dimensional (3D) design software, to improve product customization, reduce waste, and enhance the use of eco-friendly, animal-free materials. Three-dimensional (3D) design software allows designers to create, model, and visualize garments in virtual space, enabling precise fit simulation, streamlined production, and reduced material waste. For instance, in August 2023, Alltrueist, a Canada-based sustainable fashion company, launched a vegan fashion collection featuring customizable shoes, artisan-crafted belts, and zero-waste knitwear. Utilizing advanced 3D design software, the collection enables personalized shoe designs with precise fit, demonstrating a strong commitment to sustainability and cruelty-free materials. This launch represents a significant step in ethical luxury fashion, combining technology with conscious design.
