The Canadian apparel industry has faced notable fluctuations in recent years, largely influenced by the COVID-19 pandemic. In 2019, retail sales peaked at $37.2 billion, but the pandemic’s impact in 2020 caused a sharp drop to $28.0 billion due to lockdowns and shifting consumer behavior. However, the sector began recovering in 2021 with sales climbing to $33.5 billion, followed by a strong resurgence in 2022, reaching $40.4 billion. By 2023, the market hit an all-time high of $42.1 billion, signaling robust growth and resilience.
