(The key art for this announcement is AI-generated placeholder material. In line with our commitment to creatives, this year The Interline is commissioning several new artists and designers in apparel, footwear, and digital-only fashion to create a unique visual identity for the 2024 DPC Report. This will be revealed closer to the date of publication.)
Key Takeaways:
- This December, The Interline will release the third in its series of deep-dive, free-to-download reports on the 3D and digital product creation ecosystem and community for fashion.
- Building on the high watermark audience for the 2023 instalment of this annual report, this 2024 edition will, again, be packed with exclusive editorials, opinion pieces, brand perspectives, technology vendor profiles, and DPC market analysis.
- This year, the report will look forward at how fashion navigates the next steps of real-time rendering, contextual decision-making, and moves closer to the idea of a real digital twin of product and process.
- The DPC Report 2024 will be available to download from The Interline this December, and will be free to download and share – supported by our partners at SOURCING at MAGIC.
- Technology vendors who wish to appear in The DPC Report 2024 can sign up from today for a limited number of remaining spaces.
Later this year, The Interline will publish its third detailed, downloadable report focused on digital product creation (DPC) for apparel, footwear, and accessories. Like all content from The Interline (including this year’s all-new AI Report 2024, and the just-released Sustainability Report 2024), the report will be completely free to read, and targeted at both addressing the current priorities of fashion professionals and documenting the near-term roadmap for the future.
Supported by SOURCING at MAGIC – the milestone, twice-yearly industry event that The Interline has partnered with to showcase fashion technology in action live in Las Vegas since 2022 – The DPC Report 2024 will be the next chapter in the landmark annual series – building on the findings, stories, and technology profiles from 2022 and 2023.
We have begun reaching out to technology vendors from across the DPC ecosystem already. Many have signed on already, and we will be contacting more very soon. If you haven’t heard from us and you would like to participate in The DPC Report 2024, please contact us.
Defined by a new visual identity, and packed with exclusive stories, interviews, technology explorations and more, The DPC Report 2024 will capture the 3D and digital product creation ecosystem for fashion at an uncertain time.
With profitability and cost control top of the strategic agenda for 2025, technology initiatives need to demonstrate uncommon value to justify continued investment. In theory that value should be compelling for 3D design, simulation, and visualisation – but how far is the industry currently capable of realising the extended potential of visual assets?
As well as stories that tackle these big questions, The DPC Report 2024 will also contain:
- Profiles of key technology vendors from across the DPC ecosystem – from core 3D design, simulation, and visualisation, to real-time rendering and extended use cases across the product lifecycle.
- The next instalment in The Interline’s analysis of the evolving market for DPC solutions, including an outlook on where the economic climate is influencing adoption.
For more context, our pioneering DPC Report 2022 and popular DPC Report 2023 are available to download, completely free and ungated.
