What do clothing companies do?
Clothing companies design collections, produce them in their own or outside factories and sell the garments wholesale or through their own shops and websites. Their customers are department stores, independent boutiques, online marketplaces and consumers, and much of the sewing for European brands is done in other parts of the world.
Our data comes from the business registers of 47 European countries, where clothing companies are classified under SIC major group 23 (apparel and other finished products made from fabrics and similar materials), major group 56 (apparel and accessory stores), code 5136 (men's and boy's clothing and furnishings) and code 5137 (women's, children's, and infants' clothing and accessories). In NACE, the European code those registers use, 844,736 of them (71%) sit in classes 47.71 (retail sale of clothing in specialised stores) and 46.42 (wholesale of clothing and footwear), part of divisions 47 (retail trade, except of motor vehicles and motorcycles) and 46 (wholesale trade, except of motor vehicles and motorcycles).
