The market for panty hose and tights of knitted or crocheted synthetic fibers, measuring at most 67 decitex per single yarn in Germany, has experienced a steady decline from 2013 to 2023. In 2023, the per capita value stood at 0.54 Euros. Over the past two years, there was a significant average year-on-year decline of approximately 16.67%, with a five-year Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of approximately -7.18%. This consistent downtrend indicates a weakening market interest, possibly due to changing fashion trends and increased competition from alternative legwear options.
Future trends to watch include the potential for innovation in materials and designs that focus on sustainability and comfort, which could revitalize the market. Additionally, shifts in consumer preferences towards casual and comfortable attire may continue to influence demand, presenting both challenges and opportunities within the industry.
