Socks Market Dynamics

Driver: Rising Popularity of Sports, Coupled with Increasing Participation of Children and Adults in Sports

An increasing number of people participating in sports has significantly boosted the sales of sportswear products including shoes and socks. With growing awareness about the harmful effects of obesity and to promote confidence and ensure a disease-free lifestyle, parents are more likely to keep their children involved in sports and other physical activities. Moreover, the increasing rate of obesity among people has led to the development & implementation of national plans to encourage and support participation in physical activities across the globe. The increasing focus of schools and other education institutes on sports is also likely to boost the demand for casual and athletic socks in the market. In the U.S., the participation of children in sports is significantly increasing owing to the higher prevalence of obesity in children in the age group 6 to 17 years. Nearly 1 in 3 adults account for almost 30.7% of adults in the U.S. are overweight, according to 2020-2021 data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey.

Driver: Growing E-Commerce Retail Market

E-commerce retail channels play a significant role in the distribution of socks as a significant amount of the market revenue is generated through these channels. Online sales channels make it easy for consumers to browse through millions of products in one place without having to visit retail stores physically. E-commerce retail sales are expected to witness substantial gains in the coming years on account of rising consumer spending and increasing access to the Internet. In addition, the introduction of mobile shopping apps and the availability of safe & convenient payment gateways are contributing to the growth of the online retail industry. Various customization options are available online; which offline stores cannot provide. Fashion blogs, as well as social media apps, such as Pinterest and Instagram, have significantly influenced the trend of customized socks, and several websites offer customers the ability to make their designs, most notably on shoes/boots.

Restraint: Rising Prevalence of Counterfeit Socks

The rising prevalence of counterfeit socks continues to impede market growth. Counterfeit/fake socks are those socks that are falsely sold and marketed at a relatively cheaper price. According to the Better Business Bureau (BBB), in 2019, footwear products and related accessories were one of the top categories of counterfeit goods seized by customs in the U.S. These socks may not be capable of providing the appropriate comfort and protection to wearers, as these products are usually manufactured using low-quality fabric. The presence of counterfeit products also affects the consumer perception of the brand. The circulation of counterfeit socks is more pronounced in Asian markets, particularly in China and India. Furthermore, the increasing demand for various types of socks such as formal, athletic, designer, and multiple-toe socks has been leading to the flow of hundreds of thousands of counterfeit sock manufacturers flooding Asian markets.
