Key Players, Recent Developments & Regional Insights: Global Athletic Footwear Market

Based on category, the market has been segmented into aerobic shoes, running shoes, walking shoes, trekking & hiking shoes, and sports shoes. The sports shoes segment has been further reviewed on the basis of prominent sports in each of the regions. For instance, the sports shoe market in the U.S. encompasses baseball, basketball, American football, ice hockey, tennis, and golf. In the U.S., the baseball shoe sub-segment contributed to more than 35.0% of the overall volume in 2017 on account of high popularity of baseball in the country. Running shoes include shoes required for training, advanced running, road running, trail running, track running, and racing. The running shoe segment dominated the market in 2017, which can be attributed to daily usage of running shoes and availability of these shoes in a wide range of prices ranging from affordable athletic shoes to highly luxurious athletic shoes. The trekking and hiking shoe segment is anticipated to exhibit healthy growth during the forecast period owing to technological advancements that have ensured more comfort and flexibility for the hikers. For instance, W.L. Gore & Associates, Inc. in association with Salewa introduced the first version of surround technology. The technology features GORE-TEX laminates that are assimilated into shoe upper of trekking & hiking shoes to surround the foot completely from all sides and expel the sweat and heat out of the shoes through side ventilation. Gender Insights Men’s footwear commanded more than half of the market in terms of revenue in 2017. The segment will continue to dominate the athletic footwear market until 2025. Women’s footwear is catching up gradually as the popularity of sports continues to grow among women, particularly in markets previously unexplored. In most of the developed countries, the proportion of women athletes representing their respective nations at major sporting events is significant as compared to developing and underdeveloped countries. In addition, overall level of awareness about fitness among women is considerably high in advanced countries as compared to developing countries. However, the scenario is changing gradually in developing countries in line with efforts being carried out by respective countries’ governments to encourage women to participate actively in sports and other fitness-related activities. This is likely to boost the sales of women’s athletic footwear considerably in emerging markets. Retail Channel Insights It has been estimated that more than 700 million footwear items were sold through brick & mortar stores in 2017. Even though brick & mortar channel represented maximum athletic footwear sales, e-commerce channel is gaining significant traction worldwide. E-commerce accounted for over 23.0% of the China market in 2017. This share of e-commerce was larger than any other country in the world. E-commerce portals are extensively used in developed countries such as the U.S., the U.K., andGermany for purchasing consumer durable goods and are poised to emerge as a steady revenue generating source for athletic footwear manufacturers over the forecast period. Promising growth exhibited by e-commerce platforms in emerging countries, including India and China, is compelling manufacturers to reorient their distribution strategies for these countries.

Regional Insights

North America dominated the market with a revenue share of approximately 30.0% in 2017. The region is projected to continue to lead the market over the forecast period. The U.S. is the key revenue contributor to the regional market, which can be attributed to high enthusiasm among the citizens for sports, fitness, and adventure activities, such as aerobics, hiking, training, and trail running. In 2017, Asia Pacific accounted for the highest shipments at around 260 million units and is anticipated to continue its dominance from 2018 to 2025. This can be primarily attributed to a wide base of population and lower average selling price of athletic footwear in the region as compared to developed economies, such as the U.K. and the U.S. APAC is expected to witness the highest growth rate over the forecast period followed by Latin America. Rising levels of disposable income and growing penetration of e-commerce are estimated to play a major role in driving the demand for athletic footwear in Asia Pacific.
