In terms of product type, the market size from the crew socks segment will accrue 5.4% CAGR from 2024 to 2032. Given their ability to offer a balance of coverage and comfort, crew socks are favored by athletes across various sports and activities. Their versatile design provides ample support and protection while allowing breathability and flexibility.
