'Polo-shirt market looks set to grow'

Friday 29th of September 2006 01:45:00 PM

Work-wear, such as polo-shirts, looks set to grow on global markets, according to a report.

Growth of the most basic items of work-wear, such as t-shirts and polo-shirts is likely, according to Just Style, while corporate-wear markets will also see gains.

In its forecasts to 2012, the news provider notes that the work-wear market will grow to around $4.6 billion (£2.4 billion) over the next six years.

Estimations are based on 142 million employees being provided with an average of 2.9 pieces of work clothing per year, in order to promote a firm's corporate image.

Earlier this week, luxury polo-shirt manufacturer Calvin Klein announced an agreement with an Indian firm that would bring it closer to the south Asian market.

A new deal with Murjani India will allow the US-based manufacturer to sell apparel in India.

Meanwhile, Asia could hold 43 per cent of the world's work clothing volume, with Just Style indicating strong sales potential in Asia and Latin America.
