Market Overview

The socks are soft garments worn on the feet that are usually constructed from knitted or woven materials such as cotton, wool, nylon, or mixes.

The United States government has implemented a number of trade and economic policies that are centred on textiles to boost domestic production of socks and hosiery. This increases demand for U.S.-based production since federal organisations, including the USPS, are required to purchase textiles such as socks and uniforms made from domestic fibres.
