A Comprehensive Analysis of Plus-Size Clothes Consumption:
According to a study by Associação Brasil Plus-Size, which was published in October 2023 by ResearchGate GmbH, the market for plus-size clothing in Brazil is expanding, with sales in previous years of almost R$7.2 billion in 2018—60% more than in 2016. However, when considering that 55.7% of the nation's adult population is overweight, the figures seem odd because they only account for 10% of the movement in comparison to fashion retail overall.
The plus-size sector has enormous consumer potential. On the other hand, there are no defined guidelines for handling this audience and the negative associations related to it. Despite the fact that obesity is seen as an epidemic and the result of biological reasons, the prevailing language places the responsibility on the person, hiding prejudice that has its roots in Western society.
