India Hosiery Market Trends:

Rising Demand for Premium and Sustainable Hosiery

Indian consumers are increasingly seeking premium-quality hosiery products with enhanced comfort, durability, and sustainability. Brands are responding by incorporating organic cotton, bamboo fibers, and recycled materials into their offerings. For instance, in January 2025, Bonjour Socks introduced eco-friendly Bamboo Socks, made from sustainable bamboo fabric with antibacterial properties for odor resistance. Additionally, moisture-wicking, antibacterial, and seamless technologies are growing rapidly, particularly among urban consumers who value comfort and functionality. With increasing awareness of environmental issues, large brands are increasing their green product portfolios. This is also being led by international buyers, who are compelling Indian manufacturers to adopt green practices in order to compete in export markets. While high-end hosiery items are more expensive, changing consumer trends and growing disposable incomes are driving demand in urban markets. Manufacturers' challenge is to achieve cost-effectiveness without compromising on sustainability as raw material costs and regulatory costs continue to rise. Furthermore, with such challenges in their way, the premium and sustainable hosiery market is anticipated to achieve steady growth in the future.

Growth of E-commerce and Direct-to-Consumer (D2C) Sales

E-commerce has transformed India's hosiery market, providing brands with direct access to consumers and bypassing traditional distribution channels. Online marketplaces have become key sales platforms, particularly for mid-range and premium hosiery products. Simultaneously, leading brands and emerging players are investing in their own D2C websites, enabling personalized marketing, better consumer engagement, and higher profit margins. For instance, as per industry reports, India’s D2C brand market may surpass USD 61.3 Billion by FY27. Digital campaigns, influencer collaborations, and targeted promotions on social media are further driving online sales. The convenience of home delivery, easy returns, and multiple payment options has significantly increased consumer confidence in buying hosiery online. Despite the opportunities, online competition is intense, requiring brands to differentiate themselves through unique product offerings, superior quality, and competitive pricing. The increasing penetration of internet and smartphone users in Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities is expected to further boost online hosiery sales in the near future.
