Knitting Mills

Knitting Mills

Knitting Mills, classified under SIC 2250, produce a spectrum of knitted fabrics, hosiery, sweaters, activewear, and technical textiles that feed fashion brands, sportswear labels, home-goods makers, medical suppliers, and automotive interiors. Core services span yarn selection, circular and warp knitting, dyeing, finishing, and private-label production runs tailored to retailers and OEMs seeking fast-turn assortments. Key risks include fiber price volatility, energy-intensive operations, labor availability, and compliance with OSHA, CPSIA, and evolving sustainability standards around chemical usage and traceability. In 2024-2025, reshoring for supply-chain resilience, recycled and bio-based yarn adoption, near-real-time demand forecasting, and investments in 3D knitting and digital patterning are reshaping competitiveness while brands demand lower minimums and transparent sourcing.
