The latest report by IMARC Group, titled “Socks Market Report by Product (Casual, Formal, Athletic, and Others), Material (Nylon, Cotton, Polyester, Wool, Waterproof Breathable Membrane, and Others), Application (Men, Women, Children), Distribution Channel (Supermarkets and Hypermarkets, Convenience Stores, Online Stores, and Others), and Region 2025-2033,” finds that the global socks market size reached USD 3.0 Billion in 2024. Socks are a piece of clothing that covers the part of the ankle or calf and protect the feet from dust, germs, blisters and fungus. They are fabricated using various materials, such as cotton, nylon, wool, acrylic, olefin, polyester, silk, bamboo, cashmere, or mohair, to increase the softness. In cold environments, woolen socks help warm up cold feet to decrease the risk of getting frostbite. They also prevent the rubbing of shoes on the bare feet and absorb the perspiration of the foot as it is the heaviest producer of sweat in the body, which helps maintain hygiene.
Global Socks Market Trends:
The global socks market is primarily driven by the rising adoption of formal attire, especially by white-collar professionals in corporate offices and children in schools. Socks are also in high demand among athletes as they help to increase oxygen delivery and blood flow, and reduce jarring, vibration, and stress to the muscles during sports activities. Besides this, as individuals are increasing their health and fitness expenditure, the demand for sports and ankle socks for use during workouts in gyms and health clubs has escalated worldwide. Furthermore, healthcare professionals are emphasizing the need to maintain healthy feet due to the rising cases of foot-related disorders, especially in diabetic patients. As a result, several companies, such as Dr. Oxyn and Podolite, have introduced customizable diabetic socks that reduce the chances of foot ulcers and infections. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach USD 4.4 Billion by 2033, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 4.23% during 2025-2033.
