Iran's fashion and clothing industry has been on a path of growth and progress since 1394 (2015/16). In this period the number of artistic institutions in the field of fashion and clothing has nearly doubled, and the number of small businesses—under the title of fashion houses (maisons)—has reached 747 units.
The development of these fundamental axes, alongside rising public demand in fashion and clothing, has led to a boom in Iran's fashion and clothing industry.
Job creation has been the most important fruit of this development, such that the number of people employed in the fashion and clothing industry in 1402 (2023/24) is estimated at about 2.5 million. Those employed in this profession work in 1000 industrial production units and nearly 280 thousand goods-distribution units.
Of course, these figures are the available statistics on businesses with an official permit, and to them one must also add the number of unlicensed production and artistic units and people employed and active in cyberspace.
