Popular trends in hosiery industry in 2024

Despite being an industry of accessory products, hosiery products are the first ones to encounter changes in fashion and styling. Naturally, the hosiery industry has already witnessed the influx of different styles for this new year. These new trends are not just limited to new styles but also with respect to different types of fabric that are increasingly being used. For instance, use of sustainable fabric is one important trend that is expected to dominate in 2024. Growing environmental awareness with respect to plastic pollution caused by polymers has led to various brands and companies switching to the use of eco-friendly fabric options. Many hosiery companies have even started using recycled polymers for manufacturing socks and stockings. At the same time, use of temperature-sensitive and sweat-resistant fabrics is another trend in this industry. Use of such fabrics have increased the comfort-quotient of hosiery products.

As far as products are concerned, socks are the most trending and popular hosiery items across the world. In fact, the socks segment of the hosiery sector is anticipated to amass an absolute revenue of $7017.5 million by 2032. Among the several types of socks, sports socks are expected to witness the introduction of different trends and styles. Most styles are aimed at keeping the athlete’s feet dry and reducing the risk of blisters. Also, new products launched for 2024 have extra cushioning which provides comfort to the athlete and enhances his/her performance.

In the stocking segment, the introduction of bold colors such as pink and raspberry has been an interesting development. Such stockings have become a unique style statement and a go-to choice for formal occasions as well as parties. Moreover, the patterns that are dominating the stockings segment include geometric and nature-based designs. The delicate details which these designs have increase the aesthetics of these stockings considerably. These upcoming fashion trends are expected to help the stockings segment to garner an absolute revenue of $3877.6 million by 2032.

To summarize, the hosiery industry is undergoing massive transformation owing to the introduction of different styles and fashion trends. Moreover, these shifts encompass all the segments in this industry.
