There are many drivers of online fashion & lifestyle shopping. The main one is availability of latest trends in affordable prices. India is a value-seeking market and online fashion & lifestyle hits the nail on this mindset. Marketplaces like Amazon, Flipkart, Myntra run fashion specific sales and campaigns all through the year.

‍

We analysed nearly 200K fashion & lifestyle items solds on these platforms from the period of April to Sept 2021 and it is clear that Amazon has found favour with the 35+ age group; while Myntra and Flipkart remain strong with the younger generation. This is interesting as all the platforms are seeking business from youth however Amazon has been able to even make inroads with the middle age group. This could be a reason it generates high transaction volume overall.
