About IBISWorld Industry Reports

Times have been tight

This declining industry has seen revenue fall over recent years. Changing consumer preferences and increased competition from imports has caused declines in demand for domestic hosiery and sock products. A major challenge for industry players will be to innovated and develop products that stimulate demand to recapture some of the sales lost over the past decade. Firms that can encapsulate consumer requirements and offer hosiery and sock products that enhance their satisfaction will be in a better position to grow in a shrinking environment.

In-depth industry market research presented in a logical and consistent format. Including 35 pages of insights covering industry conditions, key statistics, competitor analysis and market share, product and customer segmentation and a 5 year forecast.
