The maternity wear market is a highly fragmented market due to various global and local players in the fray. It includes manufacturers and vendors that specialize in maternity wear as well as players from the wider apparel market who often have a separate maternity wear segment, like GAP and H&M.
Some manufactures and vendors in the market also specialise in product-types, which are classified under innerwear, outerwear and nightwear. Launch of unique products is a prominent marketing strategy among players, such as Marks & Spencer launching a lingerie Spring Collection in 2019. Mergers and acquisitions and joint ventures are a common phenomenon in the market.
Manufacturers often offer multiple brands for different consumer segments; for example Asos offers the New Look Maternity and Mamalicious brands. Manufactures have been increasingly incorporating stretchable-materials like elastane and spandex in maternity wear as the demand for fashionable products has risen in recent years. At the same time, comfort still remains a priority for consumers.
