Sports Equipment Market Report 2013 Research Report
M2 - Fri Jan 03, 3:50AM CST
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/qnwcqx/sports_equipment) has announced the addition of the "Sports Equipment Market Report 2013" report to their offering. With most consumer markets suffering a decline in sales during the economic recession in 2009, the overall UK sports industry saw a migration away from traditional sports activities, and thereby expensive and popular pieces of sports equipment, in favour of low-cost general fitness activities which require little or no expenditure from the consumer. This changing trend towards general fitness activities, such as running and swimming, naturally saw a decline in sales of sports equipment during this period, yet the market is beginning to show renewed growth once more. This Key Note Market Report analyses the consumer sector of the sports equipment market, covering a broad range of sports sectors, and has estimated a positive year-on-year growth of 5.7% between 2011 and 2012. Sports participation figures go a long way to indicating the saturation of the market with a rise in general fitness and women's fitness such as yoga and dance classes resulting in a greater presence of related equipment in the marketplace. However, with minimal costs involved in these activities, the main sports sector continues to be golf, which has relatively high equipment costs to the consumer. As the sport has become more accessible in recent years, with many clubs relaxing their strict members' policies, there is potential for increased affiliation with the sport. With Sport England portraying a rise in sport participation in recent years, there is a strong continual market for sports equipment; however, changing trends in the sports industry are creating different needs within the marketplace. With the UK's hosting of the 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games, the global consumer's attention has been focused on the UK market as a credible supplier of sporting excellence. The domestic Government is also building on the media coverage from the event to create a lasting legacy of sport and fitness for the UK population. This comes in the form of raising the profile of less popular activities and encouraging the use of the Olympic Village facilities; the public will soon be able to utilise the training facilities favoured by professional athletes. Sports initiatives launched off the back of the Games are aiming to encourage more residents to get involved in sports and fitness activities, in turn facilitating a larger potential consumer market for sports equipment. Within the consumer sector of the industry, much of the trade of goods is globally focused with sports brand leaders Nike and adidas often leading the way in terms of product innovation. Yet the major player in the UK market, despite continued fragmentation of the retail domain, is UK-born retail giant Sports Direct. With the acquisition and mergers of many companies in recent years, there is increased competition within the market and once major retailers, such as JJB Sports, are falling by the wayside. The authors forecast positive growth for the UK sports equipment market, with this industry estimated to grow by 12.1% between 2013 and 2017. Following from large investments in the sporting future of the nation, it is expected that demand for equipment will continue to grow.

Global Sports Equipment Market 2012-2016 with Amer Sports Corp., Callaway Golf Co., and Nike Inc Leading the Way
M2 - Thu Sep 19, 12:12PM CDT
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/lxsctl/global_sports) has announced the addition of the "Global Sports Equipment Market 2012-2016" report to their offering. The analysts forecast the Global Sports Equipment market to grow at a CAGR of 2.38 percent over the period 2012-2016. One of the key factors contributing to this market growth is the increasing participation in sporting activities. The Global Sports Equipment market has also been witnessing the increasing use of carbon fiber in sports equipment. However, the increasing availability of counterfeit products could pose a challenge to the growth of this market. The key vendors dominating this space include Adidas AG, Amer Sports Corp., Callaway Golf Co., and Nike Inc. The other vendors mentioned in this report are ASICS Corp., Billabong International Ltd., Cabela's Inc., Daiwa Seiko Corp., Dunlop Sports Group Americas Inc., Fortune Brands Inc., GLOBERIDE Inc., Jarden Corp., JJB Sports plc, Mizuno Corp., Puma SE, Sports Direct International plc, The Forzani Group Ltd., and Yonex Co. Ltd. Commenting on the report, an analyst from the team said: The demand for lightweight sports equipment is increasing worldwide because it provides high performance due to their excellent stiffness and high strength. Furthermore, lightweight sports equipment gives ample control and flexibility. For instance, Terra Nova Equipment Ltd. has recently launched the world's lightest tents, which are becoming very popular among mountaineers. Thus, these factors are creating demand for lightweight sports equipment, which in turn is expected to contribute revenue and help the market grow during the forecast period. According to the report, one of the main drivers is the rise in disposable income levels and living standards. The increase in per capita income, especially in developing countries has led to an increase in the demand for sports equipment worldwide.

Sports Clothing & Footwear Market Report 2013
M2 - Mon Aug 26, 8:50AM CDT
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/nn6kvs/sports_clothing) has announced the addition of the "Sports Clothing & Footwear Market Report 2013" report to their offering. This Market Report analyses the sportswear market in the UK, which can be categorised into sports clothing and sports footwear. There is also a difference in the market between apparel and footwear purchased by the UK consumer for participation in sports and leisure activities and that which is purchased for fashion and casual wear. The authors estimate that the UK sportswear market grew in value by 5.4% in 2012, with sports clothing accounting for approximately 71% of total market value and sports footwear making up the remaining 29%. Participation in sports and activities can directly affect the sportswear market, as increased participation leads to a greater demand for functional sportswear, and increased popularity of performance-enhancing goods. Despite government efforts to raise the fitness of the nation through national governing body initiatives and interest generated off the back of the London 2012 Olympic Games, the latest figures from Sport England actually show a decrease in sports participation for the beginning of 2013. Furthermore, changes in fashion are generating growing consumer interest in sportswear purchased for aesthetic purposes, especially among the fashion-conscious youth market. The impacts of these issues and other factors such as economic considerations, the effect of the Olympics, the structure of the industry and the introduction of innovative technology are all discussed in detail in this report. In terms of the global market, Nike and adidas are maintaining their presence as market leaders both globally and within the UK market. With increased consolidation and closures of sportswear companies in recent years, there are fewer competitors in the UK market in terms of both brands and retailers. Retail giants Pentland Group and Sports Direct International PLC have acquired a majority of the market share, with JJB Sports entering administration in 2012. This trend is attributable to the difficulties faced by the UK economy in recent years in the wake of the recession; however, the sportswear market is recording growth overall. It is expected that the sports clothing and footwear industry will continue to grow over the next 5 years. The trend for sportswear as fashion wear, as well as continued public interest in maintaining a sporting lifestyle for the future, are likely to facilitate an increase in sales for the industry. Companies Mentioned - Adidas Group - Fred Perry Ltd - Hi-Tec Sports UK Ltd - Nike Inc - Pentland Group PLC - Puma SE - Regatta Ltd - Sports Direct International PLC For more information visit http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/nn...s_clothing About Research and Markets Research and Markets is the world's leading source for international market research reports and market data.
