Global Workwear Market to Reach US$29 Billion by 2015, According to New Report by Global Industry Analysts, Inc.

San Jose, California (Vocus) July 19, 2010

The waxing popularity of workwear in several industry segments across the globe can be attributed to the key benefits that come with providing or wearing such garments. Workwear issued by employers prove beneficial in several ways. The primary benefit that workwear presents to a company is the sense of professionalism that it imparts, both to the employees as well as to the customers and general public. Professionalism creates a favorable impression of the company on the customer?s mind. In addition, employees may consider the workwear as perks over their payment. Moreover, employees in uniforms are considered to be more helpful and trustworthy owing to the sense of belongingness that uniforms generate. Providing a range of benefits to both employers and employees, workwear has evolved remarkably over the years to become one of the most promising businesses.

Against the backdrop of worldwide economic recession that sent majority of industry segments into a grip of uncertainty, the global workwear market too faced difficult times over the last two years. Recession induced cutback strategies in manufacturing units and corporate offices, such as reduction in existing number of employees, reduced intake of new employees, and clamp down on discretionary spends, have ensured that several new orders for workwear were either cancelled or postponed. Fall in employment levels especially had a severe impact on the demand for workwear. The decline in employee intake in construction, manufacturing, mining, and support industries had been the most devastating trend for the industry, as use of workwear is almost a norm in such segments.

However, steady demand from hospitality sector and revival in construction industry are expected to boost future prospects of workwear market in the coming years. The hospitality sector continues to be a safe bet for workwear manufacturers and suppliers, as it guarantees a steady flow of new orders for workwear, given that the garments used by its employees such as chef?s, housekeeping personnel, and other hotel staff, are always exposed to the threat of soiling and wear & tear, and needs immediate replacements. Revival in hospitality sector after the temporary lull in its trade also sounds encouraging to the workwear market, as the trend can lead to increased employee intake and reduced job cuts, which directly increases the demand for workwear. Increasing number of women employees in corporate and casual sectors is also augmenting the market prospects for workwear across the globe. Hospitality and Healthcare sectors especially hire a large number of women employees for their operations, thereby generating a great demand for women?s work apparel.

Although Europe and North America continue to be the largest regional markets for workwear, growth in the short to medium term period is at its robust best in emerging markets of Asia-Pacific, Middle East and Latin America, as stated by the new market research report on workwear. Growth in the Asia-Pacific region primarily stems from developing nations such as China and India, which are not only gaining popularity for being most trusted destination countries for outsourced garment manufacturing operations, but also represents a large underserved market promising excellent sales prospects.

General wear represents the largest product segment, while corporate wear represents the fastest growing segment over the analysis period 2007-2015.

Key players in this marketplace include Adolphe Lafont SA, ALSICO NV, Bragard SA, Carhartt, Inc., Cintas Corporation, Dickies (UK) Limited, DKNY, Dockers, Fristads AB, HaVeP, Hejco Yrkeskl?der, Johnson's Apparelmaster Limited, Klopman International S.R.L, Kwintet AB, Simon Jersey Limited, Williamson-Dickie Manufacturing Company, among others.

The report titled ?Workwear: A Global Strategic Business Report? announced by Global Industry Analysts, Inc., provides a review of noteworthy market trends, growth drivers and challenges. The report in addition also enumerates recent product introductions, and other strategic industry activities. The report offers demand estimates and projections for workwear in dollar sales (US$ million) for the following product segments Corporate Wear, General Wear and Uniforms by geographic markets such as North America, Japan, Europe, Asia-Pacific, Middle East, and Latin America.

PartyPail, Inc. Introduces New Popular Baby Shower Themes Just in Time for Fall

Enumclaw, WA (PRWEB) September 14, 2011

PartyPail, Inc. has introduced some new baby shower decorations, including Happi Tree baby shower and Ladybug Fancy baby shower themes. These decorations prominently feature owls and ladybugs, both popular animals being featured in this season?s trendiest baby nurseries and lifestyle products. Both themes include everything needed to throw a baby shower, from the invitations and tableware to personalized favors and room d?cor.

"We are proud to offer what we believe is the best selection of baby shower decorating themes available anywhere, and these new designs extend our leadership in this important celebration category,? says Edward Hechter, CEO of PartyPail, Inc. ?Happi Tree is already a very popular nursery theme, so we loved the idea of being able to offer the same theme as d?cor for the shower welcoming baby into the world!?

The Happi Tree owl baby shower theme is already proving to be popular, quickly becoming a best seller as soon as it was made available on the PartyPail.com website.

Ladybugs have always been popular insects with children, since they are more attractive than other small insects, and are considered beneficial creatures. Many children collect ladybugs and even keep them as pets, so using ladybugs as a baby shower theme was a natural move.

?We?ve been looking for more patterns featuring the animals that moms love to use for design inspiration in their nurseries. and these new themes capture the whimsical and fun feel of a baby-centered event,? says Traver West, General Manager of PartyPail. ?Owls and ladybugs are always popular designs with many home decorating and lifestyle companies right now, and they translate into great themes for baby shower decorations.?

As part of the product launch, PartyPail has also introduced lines of coordinating baby shower favors for both Ladybug Fancy and Happi Tree. Based on feedback from customers, and the success of prior similar product line extensions, the company?s product team worked hard to ready the release of almost 20 Owl and Ladybug baby shower favors that are integrated into the offerings. These favors feature free personalization, allowing the host of the shower to create truly one-of-a-kind gifts for the attendees.

PartyPail, Inc. is a party supply company specializing in baby shower decorations, 1st birthday party supplies, bridal shower d?cor, and themes for adult milestone birthday parties. Based in beautiful rural Washington State, PartyPail started out as a baby shower decorations company, but has grown to include supplies for many types of celebrations.
