As a result, sustainable clothes may have higher price points and be less affordable for some consumers. It's possible that sustainable materials, particularly cutting-edge textile substitutes, won't be widely accessible. This may limit the ability of firms that produce sustainable clothing to produce. Unaware of the importance of lifespan and ethical production, some consumers continue to associate sustainable fashion with a lack of style or higher price. With several brands joining the market, the sustainable fashion industry is getting more and more competitive. For newer or smaller sustainable style businesses, this saturation may make it challenging to stand out from the competition and capture market share.
