Industry Definition and Segmentation
A sock is a knitted or woven item of clothing covering the foot or the lower portion of the leg and is commonly worn beneath shoes. It is composed of soft material and is usually cotton, wool, or nylon. They come in various colours, sizes, and materials to meet the consumer's needs. The Socks industry report includes segments by Product (Casual Socks, Formal Socks, Athletic Socks, Specialty Socks, Others), by Material (Nylon, Cotton, Polyester, Wool, Waterproof Breathable Membrane, Others), by Demographics (Men, Women, Kids), by Distribution Channel (Hypermarkets and Supermarkets, Convenience Stores, Online, Retail Stores) and region (North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, the Middle East, and Africa, and South America).
Europe, Asia, and the Middle East & Africa Regions are Driving the Growth of the Industry
Asia, the Middle East, and Europe are regions leading the industry growth due to factors like population growth, increased disposable income, and urbanisation in developing countries such as China, Bangladesh, Pakistan, and India. Additionally, an expanding number of professional cricket competitions in India and Australia, such as the Indian Premier League (IPL) and the Big Bash League, are expected to create new avenues for local players to spend more on luxury sports accessories such as shoes and socks.
The market is driven by the growing relevance of formal dress among white-collar workers. Due to the increasing presence of corporate offices in emerging nations, the standard socks market is likely to rise faster. Furthermore, the increased prevalence of foot illnesses and expanding consumer awareness of hygiene are propelling the socks sector ahead. Consumers' increased awareness of health and fitness and growing expenditure on health-conscious products such as fitness and gym equipment, sports shoes and accessories, and other items are anticipated to fuel the market demand. Consumer's increasing desire for quality shoes and sports equipment and the expanding number of health clubs are expected to boost the segment's growth.

Category Management Studies
The essential ingredients must first be cleaned and spun into yarn before the sock knitting process can begin. Coloured socks are either coloured after knitting or knit using in-grain yarn that has already been dyed. The toe seams are closed once the socks have been made. The sock is tested for quality when it exits the knitting machine, and then it is sent to the seaming section, where the toe opening is shut. Socks are cleaned and dried after the knitting and seaming procedure. Washing yarns eliminates knitting oils and residue, reducing shrinkage and stabilising them. The socks are taken to the board pairing area after cleaning and drying. The final phase in this procedure is a thorough quality inspection, during which the finished product is thoroughly examined, and any errors are traced back to the production process and repaired. The socks are neatly wrapped and ready to send once they have passed the final quality inspection.
Development of Diabetic Socks, Further Boosting the Procurement of Socks
The industry is being aided by the growing efforts of leading companies that are extensively investing in developing customised diabetic socks due to the rising frequency of foot diseases among diabetes patients. The producers were encouraged to create this product by several study articles released by health care specialists on preserving healthy feet to prevent such diseases among diabetes patients. Diabetic individuals prefer to wear diabetic socks prescribed by their doctors to protect their feet due to the increased requirement for a foot ulcer and infection treatments. Other essential factors aiding the market growth are rising disposable incomes, a growing retail industry, and a growing prevalence of sports and athletic activities.
The regional markets for the industry can be divided into North America, South America, Europe, the Middle East and Africa, and the Asia Pacific.
