Abstract
The apparel industry has been severely impacted by the global economic
downturn but the state of the denim jeans industry is relatively better. The
denim industry continues to hold an advantageous position over other apparel
categories, owing to longer life span of jeans as compared to other apparel
items. Denim defies the fundamental structure of the global economy. While
other industries are outsourcing their work to cheaper foreign labor, high
cost of manufacturing the jeans in the US is, in fact, a selling point for
denim jeans industry.
US retailers of jeans have cut down orders and also their workforce to
minimize the impact of economic recession. Manufacturers and retailers are
also adopting various pricing strategies in order to offer more entry level
products. The premium segment continues to grow but denim manufacturers are
reducing prices to focus on cheaper items. Consumers still plan to buy jeans
but they are more price-conscious now.
The denim industry is highly competitive with many new brands entering the
market during the last few years. Most of these brands were focused on premium
denim. These premium denim brands are strategically planning to gain a
competitive edge in market share and retail space. Moving ahead in this
situation will require companies to surpass consumers' expectations on price
and value.
The report focuses on the US denim jeans market - value, growth rate, and
segments. It discusses the key trends prevalent in the market. The report
provides comprehensive analysis of the men' s and women' s segment of the
market. It also profiles the major brands, including their key business
strategies.
