Market Dynamics and Factors:
The rapidly growing e-commerce and fashion industry is driving the corset market. The most common and well-known use of corsets is to slim the body and make it conform to a fashionable silhouette. For women, this most frequently emphasizes a curvy figure by reducing the waist. Over the years countless designers have reimagined them.

The availability of a wide range of raw materials and potential growth opportunity in emerging countries such as China and India is expected to grow the corset market. Corsets were made of a variety of materials, depending on the period and the fineness of the article. The main fabric for the body of the corset might have been linen, stiffened with paste or starch. Lower-class women would have worn corsets of cheap, sturdy cotton cloth. Corsets were also made of decorative fabrics like satin or silk. Corset makers were driven to find substitute materials. They used cane or steel, and later plastic. The corset maker inserted thin slivers of whalebone into the corset to hold its shape. Whalebone was also used in some corsets for a front piece called the busk. The busk gave a smooth line to the front of the corset and was also sometimes made of wood, horn, or steel.
