Athletic & Sporting Goods Manufacturing in the US industry analysis
Athletic and sporting goods manufacturers have benefited from rising disposable income and robust demand for athletic and sporting equipment following the 2020 pandemic. During the initial hit of the pandemic, manufacturers experienced a dip in sales as social distancing requirements harmed sports participation rates. Additionally, the amount of time consumers spend on technology has risen during the period, limiting the amount of time individuals participate in activities like golf, which uses sporting equipment. However, improving macroeconomic conditions and pent-up demand for sports following the initial stages of the pandemic enabled consumers to increase sports participation, boosting demand for manufacturers. Although recent inflationary pressure has led to revenue losses in 2022 and 2023, these fall short of reversing the 2021 gains. As a result, revenue has been growing at an estimated CAGR of 1.1% to $10.8 billion over recent years.
Trends and Insights
- Strong consumer demand for sports fuels consistent industry growth. As consumer demand remains elevated, industry manufacturers will benefit from consistent sporting goods demand.
- Strong demand for outdoor activities fuels growth in areas like golf and fishing. As consumers return to traditional routines following the pandemic, outdoor activities remain highly popular.
- High population presence boosts industry establishments' growth. By being located close to highly populated areas, manufacturers have larger access to a diverse consumer base.
- The industry's lack of concentration enables high internal competition. Since the industry has high product diversification, many companies compete for different consumer niches.
