Summary of news published since Week 49-2016
THE GLOBAL growth prediction for the lingerie market made by Allied Market Research and reported here this week represents good news for the industry as a whole but will not prevent some less successful brands from suffering further setbacks. Regardless of whether a market broadens or contracts, there are always losing brands as well as winners. Together, the more successful brands tend to secure a larger share of the market whether it shrinks or it expands, which, obviously, leaves a reduced share for the rest. This means that it is more difficult for a label to accede to the restricted circle of brand leaders than it is to remain there. But it is far from impossible and there can be no doubt that the leading brands of tomorrow are to be found among those now struggling to join the top players.
