Factors Affecting the Growth of the Sportswear Industry:

• Athleisure Lifestyle Adoption

The growing "athleisure" trend is changing the sportswear industry. More individuals are dressed in athletic wear for not only going to the gym but also casual outings, social gatherings, and even for professional life. The feelings of comfort, style, and versatility that athletic wear gives have an appeal to a mixed and larger customer base. All of these shifts create an increased demand for new designs, quality materials, and stylish collections. As athletic wear crosses over into everyday wear, sportswear brands are catering to them. They provide a collection of versatile pieces that meet the customer as a performer and lifestyle individual. This trend only helps fuel growth and differentiation in the athletic wear market.

• Rising Health Awareness

Health and wellness are driving the sportswear market. The population, in general, has a better understanding of the benefits of being active and now wants a healthier lifestyle; they are participating in sports or fitness programs, which has increased the demand for athletic apparel and footwear. Shoppers want products that enhance performance, comfort, and reduce injury; they are willing to spend more money on quality sportswear that helps them achieve their fitness goals. This revolves around the type of running shoes with cushioning, clothes that wick moisture, and accommodating gear for team sports, etc. Health-conscious shoppers gravitate to brands that offer cool and innovative products and an active lifestyle; this trend is highly favorable for the growth of the sportswear market.

• E-commerce and Digitalization

The rapid rise of e-commerce and digital platforms, as well as the convergence of technology in the business-to-consumer market, has disrupted the sportswear landscape and driven growth for many sportswear brands. Brands are exploring opportunities to reach consumers, increase sales, and/or leverage direct-to-consumer (DTC) channels with ease through online purchases. For the consumer, online shopping is effortless—they can browse unlimited inventory of products, compare prices, and purchase from anywhere and at any time. Alongside DTC vendors, the prevalence of social media advertising that can be shared by social media influencers allows for new and unique visibility of brands and interactions with consumers. DTC is just as popular as traditional platforms because it allows brands to connect directly with their target consumers, develop exclusive marketing strategies, offer personalized items/products, and entirely control their brand message. This shift towards digital and use of technology provides more robust sales channels, further supporting product development and market research, enabling sportswear companies to determine what consumers want, alter products, and adjust brand marketing plans that provide market development and increasing competitive advantage.
