The sports industry is one of the largest developing industries in the world. Initially, the sport was part of military training to develop physical and mental capacities. Nowadays, more and more people are involved in sports and recreational activities due to health awareness and sports management. Sport as an activity helps consumers reap benefits such as improved physical and mental health, teamwork, responsibility, and a positive self-image. Consumers are gradually spending on sports clothing and equipment alongside leisure clothing and accessories. Following developments in the sports industry, various associations and federations have made the use of sports equipment compulsory according to the needs of the sport. The equipment provides protection against injury during sport.
Growing awareness of general health and fitness is one of the major drivers of market growth. In addition, constant improvements in the materials used to manufacture sports equipment help to improve the performance of the products, thus increasing the rate of adoption.
