iSize - International body dimension portal

Apparel and automotive industries market their products all over the world. However, not much data on foreign customers and their sizes has as yet been available, particularly with regard to product development or when cost-effective decisions have to be made, like, e.g. the determination of the necessary size categories for a foreign market – in spite of serial measurements having been carried out over the past few years in many European countries and the current availability of partially up-to-date body dimensions.

This is why Human Solutions has developed iSize - the international body dimension portal - and, together with the Institut Français du Textile et de l'Habillement (IFTH) and the Hohenstein Institute, is now offering access to body dimensions, sizes tables and market shares for Germany and France - for the interactive analysis and optimization of in-house product development and production.

Through iSize, Human Solutions also offers data material from many other foreign markets.
