Drivers

Severe Weather Conditions

• Demand for warm clothing has increased dramatically in various regions, particularly in the U.S., where many countries have been hit by cold storms and heavy snowfall. In response to this extreme weather, consumers take a variety of approaches to ensure that the frost protection is provided. Traditional warm clothing, such as jackets and sweaters, often fails to fit, leaving consumers looking for new levels of protection. Consequently, there is an increasing trend towards the use of warm underwear to meet this need, as it plays an important role in preserving body temperature and protecting individuals from the dangers of freezing.

Restraints

Proliferation of Informal Sector

• The thermal underwear market exhibits a deep division with numerous players operating worldwide. The industry is characterized by intense competition, with competitors vying for market share based on factors such as design innovation, product quality, pricing strategies, effective supply chain management, and etc. But the main challenge affecting the growth of key market players is the unorganized proliferation in the sector. The presence of local vendors severely constrains established products, mainly because of the ease of availability, low prices and manufacturing processes preferred by these unorganized players, especially in developing countries.
