Research and Markets
(http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/5b4e03/us_denim_jeans_mar) has
announced the addition of the "US Denim Jeans Market Report: 2009 Edition"
report to their offering. 

The apparel industry has been severely impacted by the global economic downturn
but the state of the denim jeans industry is relatively better. The denim
industry continues to hold an advantageous position over other apparel
categories, owing to longer life span of jeans as compared to other apparel
items. Denim defies the fundamental structure of the global economy. While other
industries are outsourcing their work to cheaper foreign labor, high cost of
manufacturing the jeans in the US is, in fact, a selling point for denim jeans
industry. 

US retailers of jeans have cut down orders and also their workforce to minimize
the impact of economic recession. Manufacturers and retailers are also adopting
various pricing strategies in order to offer more entry level products. The
premium segment continues to grow but denim manufacturers are reducing prices to
focus on cheaper items. Consumers still plan to buy jeans but they are more
price-conscious now. 

The denim industry is highly competitive with many new brands entering the
market during the last few years. Most of these brands were focused on premium
denim. These premium denim brands are strategically planning to gain a
competitive edge in market share and retail space. Moving ahead in this
situation will require companies to surpass consumers' expectations on price and
value. 

The report focuses on the US denim jeans market - value, growth rate, and
segments. It discusses the key trends prevalent in the market. The report
provides comprehensive analysis of the men's and women's segment of the market.
It also profiles the major brands, including their key business strategies.
