Increase extra sizes in Mexico

Due to the problems of overweight Y obesity that prevails in Mexico, tripled in the last 10 years the volume and dimension of extra large sizes .

In accordance with Marcos Cherem , president of the National Chamber of the Garment Industry (CNIV), this increase occurred in both women's and men's clothing.

Cherem indicated that if this trend continues, the price of "Extra sizes" , will rise in the second quarter of 2011. The entrepreneur reported that while ten years ago in a 'run' of a particular outfit was made a size girl, two medium, one large and one extra-large, currently produce a girl, two medium, three large and four extra-large.

In this regard, he indicated that the textile industry generated around 38 thousand 184 million pesos from the sale of large sizes in 2009, which implied an increase of 6% at annual rate compared to the previous year.

However, the fact that 70% of Mexicans suffer from overweight or obesity caused that during the present decade the garment industry has increased the size of special sizes. While the largest volume was the extra-large, now the double and triple extra-large is already on the market:

"Before, due to the low demand, people looking for special sizes used the custom size service, but now, with the largest offer, the manufacturers manufacture larger sizes "he explained.

The entrepreneur made it clear that this phenomenon occurs in both men's and women's clothing, as a result of changes in the eating habits and activity of Mexicans.

According to data from the Federal Health Secretariat (Ssa), seven out of every 10 Mexicans suffer obesity or overweight . For this reason, the garment industry has made various adjustments in its garment patterns. The challenge now is the constant increase in the prices of raw materials, which reaches up to 40% in some specific inputs.
