Market research specialist Research & Markets has announced the addition of the "Clothesource Business Profile: Hosiery" report to their offering.

According to Research & markets, Clothesource Business Profiles are designed to help buyers, especially in the EU and US, answer today's two crucial questions;  "Am I buying clothes in this category from the best available country?" and "What other countries should I be buying this category of clothes from?". They are also designed to help vendors understand where the competition for sales to EU and US in their categories is coming from.

The publisher says that Clothesource Business Profiles provide the essential information about manufacturing capabilities around the world in each major apparel category. For six groups of category, the reports show where the world's major apparel importing countries, Japan, EU and USA buy their garments from, how supplier countries' share has evolved, how supplier countries' price competitiveness varies between countries, and how countries' price competitiveness has changed since quotas were abolished at the end of 2004.

Information in each category is provided graphically, as well as in hard data.
