Kids fashion has percolated to cities like Dehradun,Chandigarh,Pune,Nashik,Indore and Varanasi.

The kids apparel market in India is likely to reach Rs 80,000 crore by 2015 because of rising incomes and greater fashion consciousness among children due to media exposure,Assocham today said.

The current market size is at about Rs 38,000 crore,the chamber said.

“Rising media exposure,high disposable income of the parents,peer pressure,growing fashion and brand consciousness among children are together driving the growth of kids apparel market in India,” Assocham said.
