For childrenrsquos wear cotton is the most preferred material due to its non-allergic comfortable and easy caring virtues But it faces competition with other synthetic ones which are preferred for its washability and non-creasing abilities
A survey states that the maximum sales in childrenrsquos wear market comes from smaller towns like Patiala Bhatinda Coimbatore Phagwara and Sonepat
Generally stores that offer a wide range of selection at discounts and low prices attract more traffic
Marketing task lies in capturing the imagination of the children with fashionable patterns and of the parents with quality apparels supplemented by reasonable prices which determine the success of the manufacturer in this segment
The greatest challenge faced by kidswear brands is the proliferation of licensed apparel given a shot in the arm by the growing popularity of characters on kidsrsquo television channels
Market share of the Major Apparel Segments (2007)
