Women Activewear Market Analysis
The women's activewear market is projected to witness a CAGR of 5.72% over the next five years.
The women's activewear market is growing at a significant growth rate due to the rising awareness among younger female adults, who are becoming more health-conscious and seeking out fitness and wellness activities such as gymming, sports, and yoga. Additionally, women's only gyms are gaining popularity across the world, with more women showing interest in physical activities. Several female-only fitness studios are sprouting across the world, intending to deliver effective exercises and dietary regimens to women of various ages and fitness levels in one location. This has increased women's participation in athleisure activities and gyms, thus driving the sales of women's activewear market. For instance, according to Clearinghouse, in the 2022 financial year, it was estimated that around 4.4 million women in Australia participated in fitness or gym activities. The number of females participating in fitness or gym activities outnumbered males participating in fitness or gym activities in the country, which was estimated to be around 3,590.5. Such trends and factors are expected to boost the sales of women's activewear products during the forecast period.
Also, technological improvements to synthetic fiber that have made products like spandex more flexible, durable, and washable than natural materials, celebrity collaborations with direct-to-consumer (D2C) and designer activewear brands, and the gradual blurring of lines between work attire and workout attire continue to propel this industry forward.
However, the presence of counterfeits is a cause for quality and safety issues, a constant battle for brands and consumers alike. For instance, a December 2021 report published by the EU's intellectual property office (EUIPO) also points to the trend. The value of counterfeits from Turkey tripled from 2019 to 2020, reaching nearly EUR 134 million. Such issues are leading to declining sales of the key activewear market players, negatively affecting market share.
