Abstract
This latest edition of just-style' s global lingerie report considers the state
of the industry worldwide at a time of intense company turmoil.
The first edition suggested that the lingerie product group was one of the
most fiercely contested areas of clothing, with a multitude of genuinely
international brands, competing with some big-hitting private-label retailers.

positioning of major brands and own label retailers.
Over the last three years, this crowded market has risen in value by 2.6%, but
has seen a number of major players re-assess their market positions.

providing another insightful analysis of the industry, including:
- Market definitions
