A silver-infused compression sock is a specialized sock designed with compression technology and embedded silver fibers to provide antimicrobial protection. Its primary purpose is to enhance blood circulation, reduce leg swelling and fatigue, and help prevent odor and infections by inhibiting bacterial growth.
The primary product categories of silver-infused compression socks include graduated compression socks, anti-embolism compression socks, and non-medical compression socks. Graduated compression socks are hosiery designed with varying levels of pressure along the leg to improve circulation, reduce swelling, and prevent conditions such as deep vein thrombosis, while silver infusion provides added antimicrobial benefits. These socks are distributed through online stores, pharmacies, specialty stores, supermarkets or hypermarkets, and other channels. Applications include medical and healthcare purposes, sports and fitness, travel, daily wear, and others. Key end users include men, women, and unisex.
Tariffs have increased costs for imported silver fibers, yarns, and advanced knitting machinery used in silver-infused compression socks. Asia-pacific and Europe are most affected due to dependence on specialty textile imports. Medical and sports retail segments face pricing pressure, while tariffs are encouraging local textile production and antimicrobial fabric innovation.
