How Woven Insights Outperforms Traditional Market Research in Fashion Retail
Discover how Woven Insights outperforms traditional market research by delivering real-time, AI-powered fashion analytics that drive smarter decision-making for apparel retailers and manufacturers.

The fashion industry thrives on timely insights, yet traditional market research methods often fall short in today’s fast-paced environment. Reports that once took months to compile are now outdated by the time they reach decision-makers. According to McKinsey, 63% of fashion retailers plan to adopt AI for inventory and trend forecasting by 2025, highlighting the need for more dynamic insights. This is where Woven Insights comes in.
Why Traditional Market Research Falls Behind
Traditional market research relies on surveys, focus groups, and historical data, leading to several limitations:
- Delayed insights: Reports take weeks or months to finalize, making them less actionable.
- Limited data sources: Small sample sizes and subjective opinions can create biases.
- High costs: Custom research projects require significant investment.
- Lack of competitive benchmarking: Brands struggle to compare their performance in real-time.
How Woven Insights Outperforms Traditional Methods
1. Real-Time Competitive Intelligence
Unlike static reports, Woven Insights continuously tracks competitors’ pricing, assortment, promotions etc. across online fashion retailers. This empowers brands to adjust strategies instantly rather than waiting for quarterly reviews.

- Fit & sizes dominated across various brands
- Type of material used by various brands

3. Dynamic Product Performance Tracking
Traditional reports give a snapshot of product success, but Woven Insights continuously monitors:
- Which designs are resonating with consumers?

This ensures apparel brands can adapt their offerings before trends fade.
4. Cost-Effective and Scalable Insights
