/EIN News/ -- Dublin, July 11, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Research and Markets has announced the addition of the "Global Baby Fashion Accessories Market 2016-2020" report to their offering.

The global baby fashion accessories market to grow at a CAGR of 5.23% during the period 2016-2020.

The report covers the present scenario and the growth prospects of the global baby fashion accessories market for 2016-2020. To calculate the market size, the report takes into account revenue generated from retail sales of baby fashion accessories for the age group of 0-4 years. It does not include retail sales of gold, platinum, or any other high-value jewelry. The report also includes a discussion of the key vendors operating in this market.

One trend which is boosting market growth is innovative designs and patterns in children's clothing and accessories. Manufacturers are incorporating fashionable patterns and using licensed movie and cartoon content on baby fashion products. Need-based and functional accessories like bibs, socks, mittens, and hairbands are now launched in stylish prints, colors, and designs. A lot of the designs and patterns in baby fashion accessories also imitate adult fashion styles and designs.

According to the report, a key growth driver is the increasing organized retail in developing countries. The evolving retail industry, especially in developing countries, is marked by the emergence of a large number of stores in the hypermarket, supermarket, and specialty formats. Convenience and comfort are increasingly becoming important to customers because of their hectic lifestyles and work schedules. Large organized retail stores stock many brands and a variety of baby fashion accessories under one roof, providing more options to consumers. These stores also stock other baby products to fulfill the requirements of shoppers. With the increase in brand consciousness among consumers, the importance of organized retailers carrying branded baby fashion accessories, and other baby products, has also increased.

Further, the report states that one challenge that could restrict market growth is declining fertility and birth rates. This decline is the result of many factors including a higher number of women going for higher education and entering the workforce, urbanization and the resultant smaller households, and the wider availability of contraception methods. This factor has significant negative impact on vendors in the market.
