The woven outerwear market in the EU

The woven outerwear market is not insulated from the international financial and economic crisis. In most of the EU countries consumer spending on woven outerwear is forecasted to fall in 2009, while for 2010 a slight recovery is expected.
Generally spoken, growth in volume of woven outerwear will be higher than growth in terms of value. Lower prices will be the result of increasing market shares of discounters, hyper- and supermarkets, but also of increased price competition by specialized chains.
The focus on casual and leisurewear will be continued for the coming years, but to a lesser degree.
