Hosiery in South Korea - New Study Released

As sports footwear increased more 5% in current value terms in 2014, hosiery, especially socks, increased accordingly. As sports apparel and sports footwear gained in popularity, demand for related hosiery increased. As outdoor footwear increased, hosiery manufacturers developed functional hosiery for sports purposes. They launched functional socks with cool-max material that can lower the body temperature by emitting sweat during the summer season. They also marketed compress socks for reducing fatigue in the calf muscles during sporting activities such as cycling or running.

Competitive Landscape

adidas Korea Ltd led hosiery sales in 2014 with 7% value share. The company holds a wide range of quality sports socks through directly operated outlets, department stores, and hypermarkets. adidas gained even more value share in 2014 as the company renewed the brand ‘adidas Original’ and attracted younger consumer groups to its brand by holding art performances or pop stars’ fan meetings at its flagship store to appeal to consumers in their 20s.
