PROSPECTS AND OPPORTUNITIES
Demand for non-sheer hosiery to remain strong, driven by hygiene, coverage, and everyday wear needs
Hosiery is set to see a solid retail value CAGR at constant 2024 prices in India in the forecast period, with growth for both sheer and non-sheer hosiery. However, non-sheer hosiery is expected to continue to see the strongest growth and dominate hosiery in the Indian market over the forecast period, with consumer preference shifting towards coverage, hygiene, and daily wear comfort.
Hosiery to evolve as a style statement, with brands targeting Gen Z through character-led and trend-driven designs
As socks increasingly become part of self-expression for Gen Z, brands are expected to double-down on unique, design-forward offerings to stay relevant. From character-inspired collections featuring Harry Potter, Looney Tunes, Marvel, and DC, to internet memes and pop-culture references, socks are evolving beyond basics into bold personal style statements.
Segmented hosiery with specific functions
Hosiery is likely to continue its transformative shift, with segmentation increasingly used as a strategy to stand out. For instance, one notable recent development in this direction is antibacterial socks.
