Costume & Team Uniform Manufacturing in the US - Industry Market Research Report

Competitive edge: An increase in the number of sports participants and college students will likely put upward pressure on industry demand

Participation in extracurriculars like theater programs and team sports drives sales for costumes and uniforms, while academic gowns account for another significant share of costume and team uniform manufacturers. These two product segments cater to, at times, the same types of customers but in different ways. Parents' investment in children's theater and sports participation, reflected by costumes and uniform purchases, remains highly discretionary. People must purchase academic gowns for graduation ceremonies, even at elevated prices. A spike in unemployment and canceled children's activities followed the onset of COVID-19, to the detriment of costume and tem uniform manufacturers. 2021's reopening outpaced manufacturing and commodity supply chain realignment, sending prices through the roof as children returned to theater, sports and school.
