Market spending projections rise sharply

The National Retail Federation estimates that costume purchases will generate $4.4 billion across all age groups in the United States. Deloitte's survey indicates that 92 percent of US households intend to participate in the holiday this year. Shoppers plan to spend an average of $219 on retail categories related to the event.

Luxury items offer lasting value

Hardcore fashion enthusiasts are investing in rare vintage numbers and one-off statement designs that can be worn repeatedly. These consumers prefer forever pieces over single-use costumes to anchor their Halloween look throughout the year. Search volumes for specific luxury brands like Coach and Moschino signal interest in fashion-ified costume options.

Retail channels vary by price

Supermarkets and discount stores lead the charge in the mass market according to Deloitte data. Meanwhile, ten percent of households cited resale, consignment, and thrift stores as their preferred shopping destination. The pre-loved market remains competitive regarding price points for these alternative retailers.
