The Professional Clothing Industry Association Worldwide (PCIAW®) is proud to announce Esenca Sizing as the winner of the Best Technology for Product Development Award at the PCIAW® Awards 2025.
Each year, the PCIAW® Awards celebrate the global leaders, innovators, and trailblazers shaping the future of professional clothing, uniforms, workwear, and PPE.
Among the many outstanding entries received this year, Esenca Sizing’s submission stood out for its technical excellence, industry impact, and commitment to transforming how organisations approach sizing, fitting, and product development.
Revolutionising Fit Through Computer Vision Measurement Technology
Esenca Sizing has rapidly become one of the most influential technology companies in the sizing and product development space. Its machine learning measurement platform enables accurate full-body, hand, and foot measurements using nothing more than a smartphone camera—dramatically reducing the need for in-person fittings, manual size collection, and traditional measurement campaigns.
The judging panel recognised Esenca Sizing for providing a solution that directly addresses some of the biggest challenges in professional clothing:
- High return rates due to poor fit
- Inefficient product development cycles
- Lack of body data across global workforces
- Outdated size charts that fail to represent contemporary demographic requirements and body measurement distributions
Large organisations, factories, and complex supply chains can deploy Esenca Sizing’s highly scalable, data-driven technology to bridge these gaps. Its clients benefit from measurable improvements in wearer comfort, reduced waste, and faster design-to-production timelines.
A Technology Built for Professional Clothing, PPE & Healthcare
PCIAW® commends Esenca Sizing for its profound understanding of the professional clothing sector’s specific needs, which are significantly different from those of mainstream fashion.
Esenca’s platform supports:
- Workwear and uniform programmes with diverse sizing needs.
- PPE manufacturers require high accuracy for safety-critical garments.
- Healthcare and medical compression suppliers rely on millimetre-level accuracy. Footwear and handwear manufacturers require detailed anatomical measurements.
By adapting its sizing engine to each brand’s needs using real garment fit tests and wearer feedback, Esenca Sizing ensures that its recommendations reflect actual fit—not abstract assumptions. This commitment to accuracy and real-world validation impressed the PCIAW® judges and set Esenca apart in this category.
A Commitment to Privacy & Global Standards
With increasingly strict regulations around data handling, PCIAW® recognises Esenca Sizing’s investment in privacy-first technology.
Their system has been built with rigorous GDPR compliance, audited by reputable third parties, and engineered to process images securely without retaining personal photos. This approach aligns with PCIAW®’s values around responsible innovation and sets an important standard for the industry.
Celebrating Excellence at PCIAW® Awards 2025
Esenca Sizing accepted the award among leading manufacturers, suppliers, and innovators from around the world. The judging panel praised their submission for:
- Technological sophistication
- Measurable real-world impact
- Alignment with industry needs
- Strong potential for future growth and adoption
PCIAW® is delighted to honour Esenca Sizing as the 2025 winner of the Best Technology for Product Development Award, acknowledging their contribution to a more efficient, sustainable, and data-driven future for professional clothing.
