Overview

The US apparel manufacturing industry includes about 8,000 companies that have combined annual revenue of about $14 billion. Large companies include Levi Strauss, PVH, VF Corporation, and Warnaco. The industry is fragmented: the 50 largest companies generate less than 40 percent of revenue. The industry includes knitting mills, but most apparel is cut and sewn.

Sample Questions & Answers

How is the company managing competitive pressure from low-priced foreign imports?

    Overview

    The US footwear manufacturing industry consists of about 250 manufacturers with sales of about $2 billion. The major shoe companies in the US, including NIKE, Skechers USA, and Timberland, are mainly owners of brand names that "source" their shoes from independent manufacturers outside the US. Some large US producers, like New Balance, make a substantial share of their shoes in the US; some smaller operations manufacture all their shoes in the US.

    Sample Questions & Answers

    What strategies does the company have to broaden its marketing efforts?

    The profitability of US shoe companies depends on marketing skills, because competition from overseas tends to put downward pressure on prices. US producer prices for the industry rose by just 11 percent between 2004 and 2011. With only moderate...

      Competitive Landscape Brief

      The primary demand drivers for sporting goods are consumer income and demographic trends. The profitability of individual companies is determined by efficient manufacturing and effective marketing. Large companies enjoy advantages in economies of scale and brand recognition, and often offer a wide range of products. Small companies can compete effectively by offering specialized or unique products that interest enthusiasts. Sporting goods imports equal about 60 percent of domestic production. Manufacturers may have overseas production facilities to take advantage of lower cost wages. Sporting goods companies may also buy and import products from overseas contract manufacturers. China accounts for the majority of US sporting goods imports. Other significant sources of imported sporting goods include Canada, Mexico, Taiwan, and Thailand.
