MARKET RESEARCH Global Market Overview The childrenswear market consists of baby c l o t h i n g , b o y s a c t i v e w e a r, b o y s c a s u a l w e a r, b o y s e s s e n t i a l s , b o y s f o r m a l w e a r, b o y s o u t e r w e a r, g i r l s a c t i v e w e a r, g i r l s c a s u a l w e a r, g i r l s e s s e n t i a l s , g i r l s f o r m a l w e a r, g i r l s outerwear and toddler clothing. The global childrenswear market was valued at $216.2 billion in 2013 and is anticipated to reach $291.5 billion by 2018, which would be an increase of 34.8% since 2013. United States Market Size The childrenswear market in the United States represents 26.5% of the global childrenswear market value. As part of the Americas, the U.S. is included in the largest segment of the global childrenswear market, followed by the Asia-Pacific and Europe, r e s p e c t i v e l y. I n 2 0 1 3 t h e U . S . c h i l d r e n s w e a r market was valued at $57.2 billion. The U.S. market is forecast to reach $70.1 billion, a 22.4% increase since 2013.
MARKET RESEARCH Growth Potential The U.S. childrenswear market has experienced moderate levels of growth over t h e p a s t f i v e y e a r s a n d c o n t i n u e d s t e a d y, m o d e r a t e g r o w t h i s a n t i c i p a t e d a l l t h e way through 2018. Despite an anticipated CAGR drop from the 4.7% seen from 2009-2013 to a 4.1% CAGR from 2013-2018, the U.S. childerenswear market is still described as a robustly growing segment. While parents have always been concerned for the cleanliness of children, i t w a s n ’ t u n t i l a f t e r t h e S e c o n d Wo r l d Wa r t h a t p a r e n t s s t a r t e d t o p a y m o r e attention to the style of their children. In recent years social factors like rapidly growing birth rates, parents having children later in their lives and an influx of baby-boomer aged grandparents that have larger disposable incomes than ever before have led to the growth of the luxury childrenswear market. This resulted in the introduction of children’s extensions to brands like Lanvin, Gucci, Dolce and Gabbana, Marc Jacobs and Oscar de la Renta, among many others. A major critique of these designer childrenswear lines is that they don’t create styles that still allow children to be children while catering to the easy-care needs desired by children’s caretakers. This notion, combined with the success of other childrenswear lines released by pre-existing designer labels and the growing childrenswear market create the perfect market conditions for the introduction of Hunter Kids.
TA R G E T M A R K E T Hunter Kids will be targeted at parents primarily between the ages of 25 – 45 in the United States. The line is geared towards children in the age range of 2 – 8 years old.

PROJECT CONCEPT
CONCEPTUAL MARKETING BRIEF Branding Changes: Hunter is going to launch its own outerwear line for kids. The company already has a kids footwear collection, but they will expand it to outerwear with Hunter Kids in Spring/Summer 2016. Insight: • No outerwear specifically for kids • Parents worry about their kids and want to keep them warm, cool, protected, safe and clean • Parents hate when their kids get dirty • Moms with toddlers will love these too. Finally here’s a fun pair of rain boots that you can fashionably wear while joining your young ones jumping in puddles or romping around the local farm or petting zoo • Hunter boots are great for commutes and stylish enough • H u n t e r b o o t s a r e a w e s o m e a t k e e p i n g f e e t d r y.

By wearing Hunter outerwear kids are going to be able to do anything, say anything and be anything all while staying protected from the elements.
