Eco-Friendly Custom Apparel is on the Rise—Here are the Styles You Should Sell in 2025
Eco-conscious shopping isn’t a passing fad—it’s the future of retail. Today’s consumers, especially Gen Z and Millennials, demand sustainable, ethically made fashion:
🔹 73% of Gen Z prefer brands committed to sustainability 🔹 Consumers are willing to pay up to 20% more for eco-friendly products 🔹 By 2030, Gen Z will contribute 17% of total consumer spending, making them a key market
If your brand isn’t offering eco-friendly apparel, you risk losing customers to competitors who are. The good news? It’s easier than ever to source sustainable apparel without holding inventory—and Gooten can help.
