Sports apparel is mainly worn during workout sessions or while playing sports. They are designed to provide comfort and agility while performing physical movements. These apparel are made using breathable fabric that allows sweat to evaporate faster, helping the person wearing it remain fresh for long. Polyester, microfiber, calico, and spandex are some of the most commonly used fabrics in production of these clothing. Initially, the sports apparel was mostly worn by athletes but, with time, it has become quite common with regular gym-goers and other non-athletes.
The adoption of sports apparel has been quite high in the developed regions such as the U.S., Canada, and Germany, while emerging countries such as China, Brazil and India are catching up quickly.
The global sports apparel market has witnessed significant growth over the years and is expected to grow at a steady pace during the forecasted period. This can be attributed to growing health awareness and increasing adoption of fitness activities such as aerobics, swimming, running, and yoga among consumers. Moreover, rise in participation of women in sports and fitness activities has paved the way for sports apparel.
Additionally, increase in disposable income and improvement in living standards in the emerging countries such as China and India along with rise in affinity of consumers in emerging economies toward health and fitness further boost the demand for fitness apparel. However, availability of low quality and counterfeit products restricts the growth of the global market. On the contrary, growth in demand for trendy and fashionable sports apparel and increase in popularity of sports apparel among children are anticipated to provide lucrative growth opportunities for the sports apparel market.
