Potential of the custom apparel market and two challenges

In recent years, interest in "custom apparel" has been growing rapidly against the backdrop of diversifying consumer needs. Custom apparel is a service that provides greater satisfaction than ready-made apparel by customizing it according to the size, preference, and use of each individual purchaser. Custom apparel, which is based on made-to-order production, can be a solution to the problem of mass production and mass disposal that has become an issue in the apparel industry as a whole.

On the other hand, the introduction of custom apparel has a significant cost structure that tends to be more expensive than mass production due to the complexity of the design and production process. In addition, the apparel industry is facing a serious shortage of human resources in charge of design and production management.

Introducing Beyond Vision to solve these issues

Developed by Baby Universe, Beyond Vision automates manufacturing and design work by learning vector graphics used in CAD drawings. It is particularly well suited for products such as custom apparel, where the shape and size of each piece differs from one another.

The production flow of custom apparel using Beyond Vision streamlines key processes such as design, pattern creation, and manufacturing data generation in Adobe Illustrator (*1), making data linkage seamless. In addition to simplifying the process, productivity is improved by 72 times (*2) compared to conventional methods, enabling significant cost reductions.

The automation of design and pattern making by Beyond Vision will solve the shortage of human resources such as designers and pattern makers, and will strongly support the introduction of custom apparel by companies.

About the custom apparel alliance business

In this business, which starts recruiting partners in February 2026, we are looking for companies that can support Beyond Vision's proposals in the custom apparel market, mainly in terms of sales and marketing. The target customers include apparel manufacturers, e-commerce companies, trading companies, and others, and we plan to ask for their cooperation in a wide range of areas, including PR activities for custom apparel utilizing Beyond Vision and the development of new customers for introducing Beyond Vision.

Through this project, Baby Universe aims to contribute to the development of the custom apparel market and the promotion of DX in the apparel industry, as well as to solve social issues such as the aforementioned mass disposal and shortage of CAD engineers. We are open to inquiries from Japanese and overseas partner companies that share this vision and are willing to work together to promote the business.
