How AI is Reshaping the Future of Saudi Arabia Hosiery Market

• AI-powered knitting and inspection systems monitor fabric tension and detect tiny defects in hosiery lines, cutting quality complaints and returns by double-digit percentages for large regional producers.​
• Robotics and AI-driven knitting innovations automate repetitive sock production tasks, speeding up changeovers and enabling shorter runs of fashion or athletic styles without sacrificing margins or consistency.​
• Saudi fashion e-commerce players use AI personalization engines that help a USD 1.2 billion retail software market deliver tailored sock and legwear suggestions based on style, budget, and browsing behavior.​
• AI styling platforms like Taffi and virtual try-on tools recommend full looks, including socks and tights, helping hosiery brands increase basket size and reduce decision fatigue for online shoppers.​
• The Saudi Fashion Commission’s tech-focused programs and product development studios encourage designers to use AI trend analysis, inspiring new performance and sustainable hosiery lines aligned with fast-changing consumer preferences.

Saudi Arabia Hosiery Market Trends & Drivers:

One of the biggest forces behind Saudi Arabia’s hosiery market is the broader fashion and apparel boom, powered by rising incomes and a young, style-conscious population. The overall apparel market is generating nearly USD 18 billion in annual revenue, and socks alone contribute about USD 65 million, reflecting how “small-ticket” items add up fast. Consumers are buying more fashion-forward and branded socks, tights, and leggings to pair with both traditional and Western outfits. The fashion industry now supports around 320,000 jobs, making it a serious economic pillar and encouraging retailers to keep refreshing hosiery assortments.​

Another strong growth driver is the shift toward performance and athleisure hosiery as fitness and sports participation climb across the Kingdom. Athletic socks already represent more than USD 100 million in value, supported by a growing gym culture, running communities, and government-backed sports initiatives. Consumers want moisture-wicking, cushioned, and compression designs for everyday wear, not just training sessions, which lifts demand for higher-spec products over basic cotton socks. Health awareness and comfort needs, including for long working hours and travel, are also pushing sales of compression and diabetic-friendly hosiery, especially among office workers and older adults.​

Sustainability and textile innovation are emerging trends reshaping product development and branding in Saudi hosiery. The Saudi Fashion Commission’s Sustainable Ihram Initiative, which recycles pilgrimage garments into new textiles, highlights a broader move toward circular fashion and eco-conscious materials. Partnerships with groups like Sanko Textile and recycling technology players are building capabilities that can spill over into socks, tights, and leggings using recycled fibers and lower-impact production. At the same time, Saudi textile manufacturing is worth around USD 9.5–9.6 billion, backing investments in advanced knitting, seamless construction, and cooling yarns that make hosiery more durable, breathable, and suitable for the local climate.​
