2025 Retail Trend Report: Down Jackets Now Lead Winter Sales Across Global Markets
Down Jackets Are Winning the Winter Retail Race
In 2025, down jackets have become the top-performing product category in winter retail across multiple global markets.
Retailers in Europe, North America, and Asia report stronger-than-usual demand for insulated outerwear, with many buyers increasing replenishment orders earlier in the season.
This shift positions the down jacket category ahead of wool coats, synthetic padded jackets, fleece outerwear, and sweaters in terms of sales volume and profitability.
For brands developing a Custom Down Jacket, the opportunity to expand winter collections has never been stronger.
Top Retail Trends Shaping the Down Jacket Market
Retailers are cutting large assortments and focusing on:
standout silhouettes
better insulation performance
higher durability
premium trims and fabrics
A strong core collection matters more than excessive SKUs.
2. Mid-Season Replenishment Increasing
With faster logistics and flexible OEM production, brands reorder throughout the season instead of relying solely on pre-season buys.
3. Growth of Unisex & Minimalist Designs
Clean, versatile shapes sell across demographics and reduce inventory risk for retailers.
Down jackets with neutral tones and simple quilting patterns are performing especially well.
4. Premium Down Jackets Gain Higher Margins
High-quality technical and lightweight down jackets bring better retail pricing power.
