This trend was the subject of a summer 2021 feature in the Telegraph, which featured insights from L’Atelier BNP Paribas analysts on the present and future of the digital fashion market. One key takeaway: the global market for such items is expected to be worth $129 billion USD by the end of 2021, an increase of $20 billion USD from 2019.
