From on-demand fashion manufacturing to bio-based dyeing processes, we break down the critical categories of vendors helping the fashion industry create a more sustainable supply chain.
Nearly 10% of global greenhouse gas emissions can be attributed to the fashion industry, according to the United Nations. That, coupled with the eco-conscious preferences of younger consumers, points to the industry’s need to shift to more sustainable practices.
Tech vendors are helping fashion brands and retailers reduce their environmental footprint throughout the supply chain. Solutions include using generative AI and 3D modeling to help design garments more efficiently for production, bio-based materials that reduce plastic and water use, and alternative end-of-life plans for products like resale or recycling.
In the market map below, we identify 93 vendors addressing critical aspects of the fashion supply chain across 14 different categories.
Note: Our map includes technology vendors that have received funding in the last 5 years and have either submitted an Analyst Briefing or have a Mosaic score of at least 400. This market map is not exhaustive of the space.
