Turning to industry statistics and current trends, Gupta reels off figures and trends that are really astonishing.
For instance, he adds, “The total world lingerie market alone was estimated at US $29.5 billion in 2004. Woman's sportswear market that stood at nearly $25 billion in 2000 is expected to cross $38 billion by 2005. US retail sales of lingerie, hosiery and innerwear market alone stands at about $14 billion per year. And this is just one sector of the entire chunk that is accelerating, globally.”
“A recent UK retail sales report says that during 1998 and 2004, women's bras and pants sector zoomed up by an estimated 34 percent to £1.14 billion, while sales of men's underwear went up 10 percent to £756 million, and nightwear sales were up 13 percent to £426 million,” he quips.
Moving on to International Bodywear Boutique 2006, Gupta reveals, “At times an exhibition, fair or show locale where manufacturers, distributors, wholesalers, retailers, traders and other sellers seek sales apart from promotions, being far away, prove to be major 'turn-offs' for prospective clients to call in.”
“This is where Fibre2fashion comes in to picture,” says Gupta, “as it will supplement all such activities missed-out on earlier count, and offer a 365x7x24 showcase for all manufacturers, and industry chain down the line to present a literal walk-in or rather browse-through attractive portfolio presentation with ease to fix an online, an e-mail,a telephonic, or a personal meeting at mutual convenience.”
