PROSPECTS

Sheer hosiery producers face growing criticism over planned obsolescence

Sheer hosiery volume sales declined consistently over 2014-2019, and the negative trend looks set to persist over the forecast period. This is partly the result of changing fashions, with demand falling due to the popularity of athleisure wear and women’s trousers and suits, for example.

Socks continue to enjoy resurgence in popularity

Long neglected in the world of fashion, socks have become increasingly stylish in recent years. This is partly due to changes in women’s dress styles, with demand for socks increasing in line with the growing preference for shorts and trousers over skirts and dresses.

Focus on heritage and sustainability gives local producers a competitive edge

The offer of “made in France” hosiery has expanded steadily in recent years. To differentiate their brands and gain an edge over more renowned – and in many cases cheaper – international competitors, domestic producers focus on issues like comfort, durability and heritage.

COMPETITIVE LANDSCAPE

Kindy sets sights on diversification following brush with bankruptcy

After being placed in compulsory liquidation and undergoing a change of ownership in 2017, French socks manufacturer Kindy experienced a remarkable turnaround over the latter years of the review period. Production increased threefold, forty new employees were hired and sales via store-based channels and e-commerce rose steadily.

Labonal exits receivership and launches new brand La Frenchie

Labonal, a French company specialising in the production of socks, exited receivership in early 2018. This recovery was made possible by the implementation of a restructuring plan and an increase in sales of its higher-margin eponymous brand.

Bleuforêt focuses on expanding its own store network

Like many other apparel players, local hosiery brand Bleuforêt faced the prospect of a significant drop in sales during the review period as major retail chains in France – particularly supermarkets – reorganised non-food assortments and began aggressively pushing private label lines. Bleuforêt responded to this challenge by opening its own branded outlets, diversifying its portfolio and investing in a new e-commerce platform.
