Top Socks Manufacturers in Iran

Socks are one of the smallest items in everyone’s closet. They protect the feet from heat, cold, dryness, and environmental damage in addition to maintaining a beautiful appearance. Khalil Rahimi established the first sock weaving factory in Iran in 1954.

Previously, it was common to weave socks by hand, and every housewife wove woolen socks for the entire family. Italian and Chinese hosiery machines entered Iran in 1966 but were copied in 1971, and their import was halted.

In 1985, computer hosiery machines arrived in Iran, initially weaving only women’s socks, but from 1991 onwards, advanced computer machines came to the Iranian market, producing all types of socks, including women’s, men’s, and children’s socks.

Status of active socks production units in Iran

According to the statistics, there are about 1100 licensed and authorized units working in this trade, but a large presence of underbridge manufacturers in this market has caused concern to the activists of the union and the union itself because these kinds of illegal producers do not pay legal fees to the government and related bodies, they can sell their products cheaper than that group they operate legally to market for consumption, and this can create grounds for the removal of famous producers.

Maybe to reach the production statistics, we can act based on the installed production lines, but considering that today the recession is affecting the Iran economy most of the production units in Iran are operating with a small part of their production capacity, but considering some information, we may be able to make some comments about the production in this way that we have approximately 1100 authorized production units and each production unit produces at least four machines to continue its economic activity It is necessary, so today 4400 socks weaving machines are working and if each machine produces only 12 dozen in one work shift, a significant number of socks are produced daily in the country.

if each Iranian buy only 6 pair of socks per year there is a market for around 500 million pair of socks each year.

In the following article, we will take a look at some of the top socks manufacturers in Iran.

Conclusion:

Iran, with a population of more than 80 million and a market of about 500 million in its neighboring countries, can achieve great goals in the field of socks production and export. Some of Iran’s neighboring countries, such as Afghanistan, Iraq, and Syria, are markets that require medium and low-quality goods, and markets such as Russia and the Arab countries along the Persian Gulf require medium and high-quality goods that Iran can produce in almost all of these ranges.

Also, Turkey is another neighbor of Iran, which can be considered a very difficult export market. Because Turkey itself is one of the production and export giants of socks in the world and it is not easy to enter the markets of this country.

More interestingly, Turkey is considered an important exporter of socks and a competitor for Iranian manufacturers in the markets of Iran’s neighboring countries. Large Iranian producers can use their experiences in export markets through joint cooperation with Turkish producers.

Although Iranian manufacturers have many advantages in the production of socks, such as access to raw materials, energy, and cheap labor, their many problems in the field of international trade, which are caused by sanctions and clumsy political decisions of the Iranian government, keep them away from export markets.
