Working Professionals and Students to Boost Socks Demand in the Global Market

Published: Mar 2023

The global socks market is anticipated to grow at a considerable CAGR of 6.1% during the forecast period (2023–2029). The major factor assisting the market's growth is the growing working population. According to World Bank Data, in 2021, there were around 3.46 billion working professionals. Owing to the rising penetration of corporate offices, industry development is projected to be stronger in emerging countries, generating sufficient potential for the market. The reason behind that is that individuals in the workplace tend to adopt a standard dress code, which comprises professional clothes with shoes and socks. 

Similarly, the school- and college-age population also follow a dress code. According to the National Center for Education Statistics, about 49.5 million students in prekindergarten through grade 12 were enrolled in public schools in the US in 2021. Additionally, the overall enrolment in higher education in India had climbed to roughly $41.4 million in 2020-21 from $38.5 million in 2019-20, according to the Indian Ministry of Education. As per the same source, the number of universities and colleges in 2020-21 had grown by 70 and 1453, respectively.
