Sports Footwear Market Growth Factors


Increasing Participation in Physical Activities and Sports to Bode Well for Market Growth


The increasing prevalence of chronic diseases due to the lack of exercise and the growing health-conscious population, especially in urban regions, would drive the global market.

As per the International Health & Fitness Association 2019 Report, the global fitness club witnessed a membership growth of 183 million.


Furthermore, the increasing awareness regarding health and fitness has simultaneously surged the number of participants engaging in physical activities and sports, thereby showing positive growth in the market. Additionally, the rising innovation in sports shoes, such as increased functionality and lightweight shoes for running, would influence the development of the market. To target more consumers, manufacturers are providing customizable options for fast-moving preferences.


Surging Government Initiatives will Support the Growth of Market


The increasing purchasing power and rising disposable incomes of consumers have propelled the sports footwear market growth. The rising income level has resulted in a willingness to pay extra for several performance characteristics, such as waterproof quality, moisture management, temperature control, and friction regulation. Additionally, the increasing number of different retail outlets and hypermarkets, and supermarkets is expected to help the market gain impetus in the forecast period.


Global, regional, and local government bodies focus on health and new strategies to draw the attention of the population towards the benefits of physical activities.

This would simultaneously increase the sports footwear business, as a significant portion of the population will be inclined towards sports and fitness activities. Moreover, governments across the globe are focusing on increasing investments made in sports, which would have a positive impact in surging the consumption rate. For instance, PRS India. Org data declares that the Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports allocated USD 314.8 million for 2019-2020.

In April 2023, the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) made significant investments to promote women's cricket in the U.K. and provide more opportunities to female cricketers in the U.K. An increase in investments in quality coaches will improve women's cricket in the U.K. The rising popularity of women's cricket in the U.K. is attributable to an expanding base of base, sponsors, and broadcasters. Such factors trigger the demand for cricket/sports footwear across countries.


RESTRAINING FACTORS


Availability of Low-cost Local Products to Limit Demand for Branded Footwear


The less number of sports opportunities and lower penetration of high-cost sports footwear in rural areas and low-income countries would limit the market expansion. Moreover, the availability of low-cost counterfeit products and the emergence of several small-scale market players have posed challenges to the high-cost branded footwear.
