Sustainable consumption behavior, clothing industry, bibliometric analysis, biblioshiny, VosviewerAbstract
The study aims to provide an overview of the existing literature by identifying key contributors and emerging themes, and offering insights that can guide future research and inform policymakers in promoting sustainable consumer behavior within the clothing industry. Although numerous studies have explored Sustainable Consumption Behavior in clothing, to the author’s knowledge, only a few bibliometric studies have examined Sustainable Consumption Behavior in the clothing industry. A bibliometric analysis of 172 research papers on “sustainable clothing consumption behavior” published between the years 2005 and 2025 using Biblioshiny and VOSViewer software was conducted. The analysis incorporated both performance analysis and scientific mapping techniques. The findings of the study suggest the key themes and topics that could be explored by the researchers in future. Unlike previous studies that broadly examined sustainable consumption behavior, this study specifically focuses on sustainable consumer behavior within the clothing context, thereby offering a more industry-specific perspective.
