Loose threads: Increasing import penetration will continue to hurt industry demand
Men's & Boys' Apparel Manufacturing in the US
The industry is declining due to competitively cheap imports severely cutting into market share. The premium denim segment has been growing, especially in exports, but it is not enough to offset import penetration. High volatility is created by unpredictable fashion swings, and all but the most adaptable firms are often hung out to dry. There is no real new technology emerging to patch things up for industry players, and so they have been increasingly outsourcing and offshoring to lower-cost countries.
Operators in this industry manufacture men's and boys' apparel from purchased fabric. Activities also include buying raw materials, designing and preparing samples, arranging for apparel to be made from their materials and marketing finished apparel. The industry includes firms that operate their own production facilities in the United States.
This report covers the scope, size, disposition and growth of the industry including the key sensitivities and success factors. Also included are five year industry forecasts, growth rates and an analysis of the industry key players and their market shares.
