The Socks Market is Cyclical

The hosiery industry is a cyclical industry that changes with the climate. Judging from the world's first socks industry index, the Datang Socks Index, since 2019, the wholesale and retail situation of the Datang socks trading market has shown a trend of first rising, then falling, and then rising, and the socks market has fluctuated with the climate. In the summer, the sales of the socks trading market were slightly lower, and there was not much fluctuation. In the market, the regular summer stockings series, boat socks, cotton socks, five-point pants, three-point pants, etc. are mainly sold, and the prices of individual varieties are fine-tuned and stable. In the e-commerce market, stockings and boat socks sell well.

Compared with the relatively stable situation in June, the trading volume of the socks market in July and August was affected by the high temperature, and the total sales volume and amount of socks dropped significantly. The retailing of socks in the market is not very popular, and the hot sales are mainly summer products such as silk socks and boat socks. Affected by the tariff adjustment, the foreign trade market has also been in a wait-and-see state, which is relatively sluggish.
