Activewear sales - A natural solutionWith the many stories touting the strength of athleisure apparel

mixed with the aisles of workout apparel in stores, it may come as asurprise that consumers spent less on activewear last year than inprevious seasons. Interestingly, though, they actually increased theiroverall activity levels in the U.S. While manufacturers may bequestioning what is happening at retail, they might consider thefibers being used just aren’t what the consumer is seeking.

The Physical Activity Council tracks sports, fitness, andrecreation participation in the U.S. It found that in 2016, most sportcategories saw an increase in participation, with fitness and teamsports seeing the biggest gains. The report found inactivitydecreased 0.2 percent. However, the report found spending on sportsequipment, apparel, and footwear decreased, from 44 percent ofparticipants who made purchases in 2015 to 42.8 percent in 2016.

Over the years, the activewear industry has made a big shifttoward synthetics. Manufacturers promoted performancetechnologies meant to keep the wearer cooler and drier, so theycould improve their workout. But the pieces often came with asignificantly higher price tag than styles made of natural fiber. At thesame time, a style shift has been occurring among consumers —they began to embrace athleisure apparel, and often worked casualpieces like yoga pants, joggers, and hoodies into their everydaywardrobes. Often enough, these pieces could be worn for a trip tothe gym or a trip to the mall.

Despite the changing style trend and the new performancetechnologies, The Atlantic reports that total consumer spending onapparel has decreased by 20 percent this century. Meanwhile, a reportby Technopak states that the current global demand for fiber andyarn is split into about 41 percent for cotton and other natural fibersand 59 percent for man-made fibers. The report points out that makerslike that man-made fibers can more easily be tweaked than naturalfibers, which reduces investment costs.

While that may seem to be good for a manufacturer’s bottomline, it doesn’t make any difference if consumers aren’t buying it.The Cotton Incorporated Retail Monitor™ Survey find U.S. retailersare continuing to rely on discounts overall to drive traffic to theirstores and get customers to spend. The survey found that a fewyears ago, the gap between sale offerings in non-active apparelcompared to active apparel was much larger than it was today. Today,the majority of activewear is offered on sale, up from 39 percent afew years ago.

Perhaps manufacturers should consider that in general, 81percent of consumers say cotton is their favorite fabric to wear,according to the Cotton Incorporated Lifestyle Monitor™ research.Beyond that, 77 percent feel better quality garments are made fromall natural fibers such as cotton, and 66 percent of shoppers arewiling to pay more for clothes made from natural fibers.

In an effort to appeal to this consumer preference, a lot ofmanufacturers have introduced activewear whose fabrics mimic thelook and feel of natural fibers like cotton, but whose price pointsreflect a technical piece of apparel. However, while 65 percent of

consumers strongly agree that the price of apparel has increasedfrom a year ago, according to Monitor™ data, 53 percent are botheredthat brands and retailers would substitute manmade fibers for cottonin their T-shirts.

Consumers have various reasons for their cotton preference.They say that compared to synthetics, it’s the most sustainable (84percent), soft (81 percent), comfortable (80 percent), authentic (80percent), trustworthy (79 percent), and durable (66 percent) accordingto Monitor™ data. And when they buy activewear, tech features areactually secondary to comfort (70 percent), fit (65 percent), quality(62 percent), durability (59 percent), washing clean (58 percent), andprice (57 percent), according to the Cotton Incorporated ActivewearStudy.

While tech features might be secondary, consumers areinterested in such characteristics. Compared to synthetics, consumerssay they would likely purchase cotton activewear that has thermalwarming (55 percent), is odor resistant (52 percent), and isantimicrobial or antibacterial (50 percent), according to Monitor™data.

Cotton Incorporated offers two technologies that aid inmoisture management: TransDRY® and WICKING WINDOWS™. Anumber of companies are using the technologies, including UnderArmour (Charged Cotton), Eddie Bauer (FreeDry), and The NorthFace (FlashDRY).

When it comes to odors and bacteria, studies have shown it’sthe apparel’s fiber that makes the difference.

A BBC series called “Trust Me, I’m A Doctor” looked at twostudies — from the University of Alberta and the University of Ghent,that found synthetics become smellier after use than natural fibers.The show then ran its own experiment that involved cotton T-shirts,synthetic tees, and a spin cycle class. Afterward, two professorsfrom the University of Manchester found up to 300 types of bacteriainhabiting the volunteers’ armpits. However, neither shirt absorbedthese bacteria. Instead, a University of Alberta study showed cottonfibers absorb moisture, including smelly compounds produced bybacteria. This gets pulled into the fibers away from the wearers’noses. But synthetic fibers don’t absorb moisture. They “hang onto the ‘oily soils’ from our sweat, which sit on the surface of thefibers, waiting to be guzzled by whatever odor-producing bacteriahappen to come along.”

Dr. David Pascoe tests workout gear for Auburn University’ssports teams in his Thermal Lab. He feels there is only so muchinfluence a garment can have on an athlete’s body temperature. In aSlate magazine article, he stated cotton is still a “very good fabric”for activewear. His assessment: cotton is lightweight, doesn’t irritatethe skin, breathes well, can take repeated washings withoutdeteriorating and is extremely cheap, especially compared to priceyperformance apparel.

And if traditional cotton was paired with the latest performancetechnologies, makers might find the solution to discounting theiractivewear selection.

NEW DELHI, SEPT. 28—The Income Tax

Department has been tasked toadd 1.25 crore new return filers inthe current financial year as partof the government’s plan to widenthe tax base in the country.

GST mop-up worries misplaced; but still is -ve on mktsMUMBAI, SEPT. 28-(PTI)

With the ongoingcorrection in the marketsindicating a possible investoruneasiness over the shortfall inGST revenue, a foreign brokeragetoday said such concerns arepremature and full-year taxcollections could still be in linewith the budgeted target.

“Our calculations ofpotential monthly GST revenuein FY18, assuming 8 per cent year-on-year growth and seasonalityof monthly indirect tax revenue,suggest that GST collection is

tracking just fine,” Swissbrokerage UBS Securities said ina report today.

The report further said,“while we’ve been more cautiousthan most investors over the lastthree years on the recovery ingrowth and earnings, we believethe concern over a big revenueshortfall is overdone.”

UBS noted that about Rs65,000 crore of tax refundsclaimed by exporters post-GSTare reportedly pending, raisingconcerns that actual GST revenuemay be lower than the Rs 95,000

crore reported.The government has

clarified that for 66 per cent of thevalue of exports, exporters optedfor the ‘duty drawback scheme’(they did not pay taxes on inputs)instead of refund mechanism,which implies no blockage ofworking capital.

The remaining exportersused the refund mechanism, butthe waiting period may initially belonger under GST, hurting near-term exports due to workingcapital issues.
