The embroidery segment contributed a majority of the share to become the largest division in the global revenue in 2022. Embroidered products have significant demand due to their higher durability than other types of decorated apparel. Custom embroidery work lasts much longer than printed designs. Moreover, custom embroidery gives a professional look and thus has a wider application scope in the corporate sector as well.
The men’s segment is expected to register the fastest CAGR from the year 2023 to 2030. Rising product availability with a range of unique designs, color combinations, prints, and other decorations in graphic tees, coats, and designer blazers for men drive the scope of the market for decorated apparel. Rising applications of printing and embroidery on apparel logos for sportswear such as youth baseball teams, school spirit wear, or walk/run fundraisers drive the demand for decorated apparel among men.
The global market is characterized by the presence of a few well-established players such as Gildan, Hanesbrands Inc., and Fruit of the Loom, Inc. Medium and small players include Downtown Custom Printwear, Master Printwear, Delta Apparel, Target Decorated Apparel, Advance Printwear Limited, Lynka, and New England Printwear.
Major players in the industry are trying to increase their presence in the global market by expanding their production facilities in various regions.
