It provides in-depth analysis of the following: the hot issues impacting the market, strategies for success, market sizes and forecasts, retailer profiles, retailer market shares, consumer data and future outlook.
The report focuses on sports clothing and sports footwear. Consumer data is based on 2018 How Britain Shops survey, using a panel of 10,000 nationally representative consumers, as well as 2018 UK clothing & footwear survey, using a panel of 5,000 nationally representative consumers.
Select Report Findings
- Sports Direct remains leader of the UK sports clothing market despite further share erosion in 2018.
- 61% of sportswear shoppers exercise in some form at least a few times a week, however this rises among the over 55s, making it clear that there is opportunity to drive spend among mature shoppers.
- 58.2% of sports footwear shoppers agree that the brand is important to them when purchasing an item, with the figure rising among younger consumers.
Given the strong growth and consumer appetite for replacing casualwear with sportswear, it is no surprise that retailers and brands are continuing to venture into and invest in the sector. Incumbent top 10 retailers Amazon launched its own brand activewear label Aurique in 2018, which has potential to steal share from the grocers and ASOS, while the likes of boohooMAN and Joules also launched sportswear ranges in 2018 in a bid to drive up basket sizes.
The UK sportswear market will grow by 20.9% over the next five years to 6.7bn. Consumer focus on leisure and wellness will support growth, with the sportswear market outperforming all other major retail sectors out to 2023. Newness and innovation in ranges and the ongoing desire among consumers to wear sportswear as casualwear will aid growth out to 2023. Sports footwear will marginally outperform sports clothing over the forecast period, by 0.8 percentage points, with fashion trainers now a mainstay in consumer wardrobes.
