摘要

This declining industry has seen revenue fall over recent years. While some sock products have experienced small growth, hosiery sales have declined as consumers changed preferences away from hosiery. A major challenge for this industry will be to 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 36 pages of insights covering industry conditions, key statistics, competitor analysis and market share, product and customer segmentation and a 5 year forecast.
