Over the past few years, the erotic lingerie industry has been witnessing robust growth, which is expected to continue in the future.

Erotic Lingerie Market Trends
This section covers the major market trends shaping the Erotic Lingerie Market according to our research experts:
Growing Influence of Endorsements and Social Media Marketing
In an age of diversity, the erotic lingerie industry has seen a significant shift over the past few years. Generation-Z-approved direct-to-consumer (DTC) brands have disrupted the space, vying for market share from legacy players. Moreover, in recent years, erotic lingerie styles have pivoted away from the bust-emphasizing styles popularized in the '90s to reflect modern consumers' demand for comfort and functionality, wherein the silhouettes have evolved with comfort at their core. With the growing internet penetration globally, there has been a significant increase in the importance of social media in a shopper's purchase journey. Companies are evolving and stepping up their advertising, marketing, and endorsement game across different channels of distribution, including specialty stores and online retail stores, among others, using television, social media, magazines, and other print media as a medium for garnering consumer attention.
With celebrities vouching for or promoting their products, brands can increase awareness, trust, and familiarity, which are important variables in the purchase decision-making process. Consumers feel more sympathetic toward a brand if its products are promoted by a celebrity they admire or relate to. It is just a straightforward psychological effect whereby the consumers subconsciously feel that buying a product marketed by a celebrity they admire will replicate the celebrity's desired attributes or attract people who share their interests.
Asia-Pacific is the Fastest Growing Region for the Erotic Lingerie Market
Increasing disposable incomes, increased urbanization, and exposure to western culture have led to the rapid growth of the erotic lingerie market in the Asia-Pacific region. Companies operating in the market are increasingly investing in marketing and sales infrastructure in the region to capture the growing market, which has started yielding results. Online lingerie shopping witnessed significant growth as a growing number of Asian consumers have taken to purchasing bras, panties, underwear, babydolls, and other lingerie items using e-commerce platforms like Amazon, Walmart, Oysho, Marks & Spencer's, H&M, Damiko, Elf Boutique, Honey & Dear, and Jujumello. As a result, it fuels the market for erotic lingerie in the region over the forecast period. Therefore, with increasing consumer interest in online shopping, retailers are expanding their presence on e-commerce platforms.
