Introduction
In the formation of a competitive environment in the light industry market, the key factor is the structure and width of the assortment. Many scientists conducted research on problems in determining the range of strategic goals, including: an analysis of A Ansoff's matrix "commodity-market", D.Abell's matrix of the "center" of the ABC model, XYZ, the "Marcona" model, the "Dibba-Simkin" method. There are a number of scientific studies on the competitiveness of the assortment of light industry goods [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11]. In these scientific researches methods of management of formation of assortment of the enterprises are reflected. Theoretical and practical aspects and methodological foundations. The problems of assortment policy development for light industry goods were investigated [12][13][14].
The issues of household research and the formation of demand have been widely studied in the scientific works of the honorable Russian worker of professional education, the scientist Burdenko [15]. It scientifically proves that the basis for shaping the demand for light industry products are income, seasonality of fashion, age and gender categories.
In our study, the subject of study is researching the state of competition in the light industry goods market and the formation of the assortment strategy of local enterprises, the panel method is used in the study.

Method
The method of panel research is one of the most widespread methods among marketing researches. Panel research is a data gathering from the selected respondents [16] from house economy by repeating interrogations in intervals where accurately defined duration of time are. Often term the 'panel' is used as equivalent with the term repeated research. The panel consists of sample of respondents, usually households which agree to give the information with certain intervals throughout the long period of time [17].
Panel research respondents would be compensated by organization leading it and they would be rewarded with various means, for example, gifts, certain amount of money, information and others. Investigation of families and their members' wardrobe assortment and its content gives great chance to assess consumers market. Therefore it is appropriate to use panel research in order to study consumers' wardrobe.
Household is considered as panel research participants. Householdis the group of people who run household and live in a certain address, by combining their income fully or partly [17]. Observation is leaded by interviewer [18]. Results of research could be wrong, unless the chosen participants of households are rewarded.
Due to panel research, the formation of wardrobe assortment of consumer's could be studied and used in practice, widely. In addition it helps to study the proportion of competent in assortment, and analyze the various aspects of consumer segments according to the assortment.
For panel research, households would be given daily form so, as to record research results. Moreover, nowadays daily media panel research is becoming popular. As online-forms are being used widely, they are giving great opportunity to define during the purchase process [19]. So that to depict the form's information we focused, on clothes of families that have accumulated during a whole year and the forms have collected in final month (December) of the year. During is process respondents fulfilled the forms with the data about the amount of apparels which have been included to their wardrobe during the year.

Results and Discussions
Usually the outcome of research gives information that is beneficial to study the impact of socio-financial course on living standards of population and improve well-being of nation, developed consumer commodities market, to take additional measures to form basket of goods [19].
Tables 1 and 2 depict the questionnaire that we have conducted for Panel research. It consists of two parts, the first gives information about family and its member's, also special characteristics about family member's segmentation. In the second part, there is the number of clothes of each segment that have been included to the family wardrobe during the year that is marked with special signs.
The purpose of Panel research by conducting the customers' readymade apparel wardrobe is given below: 1. Identifying the family's purchase of apparels and their changes in content; 2. Improving living standards of household, assessing the assortment content of purchasing clothes according to the changes in demand; 3. Estimate the ready-made clothes market according to the results of purchased goods assortment changes; 4. Intensify competitiveness of clothes' manufacturers and traders and corroborate their assortment policy, scientifically in the future.
In the questionnaire given to respondents, all family members make a record of clothes, which they have included to their wardrobe during the year. Outcome of each questionnaire is being attached to the program Excel and SPSS statistical program. From the forms given to the families results recorded in Table 3.
Big changes have not been noticed in family and in its members' content. The amount of purchase by families' segment group is illustrated in Figure 1. There have been assessed the amount of purchased apparels by family members and changes during year 2012-2014, the proportion of competitors.
The purchase of ready-made clothes percentage of our national products among old-aged in families is high (women 54% and 56%, men 69% and 69% in 2012 and 2014, respectively). The demand of elderly people for national clothes (such as oriental robes) is increasing due to hygienic and climate conditions. In addition, they are actively, participating in weddings, traditional ceremonies, which in turn brings to high need for modern clothes(suits, coats) and they are purchasing clothes made in foreign countries.
Being considered the most attractive segment (in terms of purchase amount) adults' apparel share, made in Uzbekistan is lower than oldaged (women 32-31%, men 67-69% in 2012 and 2014 respectively). Because manufacturers have to meet certain conditions of this segment, its percentage remains low. On the contrary, there is higher need for men's finished apparel. As the main assortment of men's garment consists of coats, suits and shirts, they are not so sensible to fashion changes. In addition, there is being formed demand for national garments of women, as the main part of women in this segment prefers clothes offered by family businesspersons and in many cases of imported apparels do not meet their figures' specials needs.
The youth is regard as an insistent segment and show high level of purchase. Because of limited assortment of goods offer, manufacturers are not able to meet an increasing insistent demand of consumer's, therefore their share in market still remains small compared to competitor (women 10% and 22%, men 25% and 41%, respectively). The youth group mainly consists of students, which is an important aspect of creating a demand. The difference of the segment is that there is huge impact of fashion and type of job. During certain years, clothes made in Uzbekistan and Turkey is seizing a market of Chinese producers. Another side that have consider is price and have produced massively.
In the group of student's the boys' apparel mainly consists of uniform and they are popular assortment, therefore China is still taking a leading place. Especially, major percentage of girls' uniforms, sportswear, blouses, cardigan, jumper and sweaters, dressing gowns and dresses is the manufactured in China. Interestingly, Uzbekistan's share in producing children's suits, trousers and shirts increased from 14-24% in two years, between years 2012-2014.
In the group of infant school attenders' the portion of Uzbekistan rose by 6% (from 11% to 17%) during the period. The assortment of children clothes makes the major part of the group and share of China in this sector is decreasing, while that of Turkey, Korea and other countries (Iran, Pakistan) is getting higher. Following group is mainly formed by the choice of parents and unlike other groups; the considerable aspects are comfort in wearing, suitability of sizes and ornaments. Our manufacturers of children's ready-made apparels do not occupied enough place in market. It is noticeable that there is an increasing share of national clothes in the family's wardrobe.
There is a table, which have compiled according to segmentation of Segmentation criteria

Age group of family members
Year 2012 In percentage (%) Year 2014 In percentage (%) The number of families 500 100 500 100  families by age groups considering factors, which affect purchase and changes in assortment content. As is illustrated in the Table 4, the most insistent segment is women aged 17-30 as well as men and women aged 31-60.
One more factor that exerts influence on families' purchase readymade apparels is social location of families. Dressing culture of family members is formed under the influence of householder and in turn, the factors that impact on assortment related to the education degree and profession. Obviously, the profession, life position determines family culture and range of clothes in the wardrobe is collect in accordance with them. Therefore, it is preferable to into account the type of activity of householder while grouping families. Because Uzbek mentality and oriental traditions are connected with dressing manners and families professions. Therefore, we in the course of researches, first, have divided families into segments by their trades, and have established scale of purchase of ready-to-wear clothes ( Table 5).
In the bought ready-to-wear clothes, during the research period, we have displayed a share of the countries-competitors through matrixes in Figures 2 and 3 by means of it we can estimate them. In the figures, one in all segments of families, the state China, only in families where the head of the family works abroad, and a share of Korea above has a high share. In 2014 competitors in our internal market tried to get the place of Chinese products, share of Uzbekistan is increase in the account of industrial personnel, businessmen, military-men. In addition, share of products of Turkish and Korean origin has increased among the segment of individual businesspersons and entrepreneurs.

Accordingly, this group formed in accordance with the order of Chinese ready-to-wear range. Farmers and military families' wardrobe China accounted for more than that.

Accordingly, consumer's wardrobe emerging assortment includes the share of domestically produced products. For each segment assortment of wardrobe structure to determine the
