Market Overview
The swimwear market is expected to register a CAGR of 6.3% during the forecast period (2021-2026).
After the advent of the COVID-19, many swimming pools were forced to close down to minimize the spread of the virus. Moreover, the closure of schools and universities across the world in 2020 had negatively affected the sales in the global swimwear market.
Swimwear manufacturers and designers focus on the comfort level of swimwear, as it has a high impact on the consumer's purchase decision. The popularity of value-added features, such as trendy prints and convenient cuts, is driving the market growth.
Due to the rise in product innovations and advancing technologies, such as the incorporation of neoprene fibre to develop fabrics that improve their elasticity and efficacy, the swimwear market is expected to witness high sales in the coming years.
With the changing fashion trends, key factors, such as design, trend, and comfort of the fabric, play a major role in driving the market. Hence, there is a growing demand for branded swimwear, which offers high quality and greater resistance to the chlorine content in water.

Asia-Pacific Region to Witness Significant Growth in the Swimwear Market
The Asia-Pacific region is expected to experience a higher growth rate than the other regions in the next five years. Fast-developing economies, like India and China, show great potential in terms of demand for swimwear. For instance, the Chinese swimwear market is driven by the country’s huge population that is finding a passion for water sports, as they consider swimming as the best form of physical exercise in China, which would help in driving healthy demand for swimwear products in China. Therefore, most local and foreign manufacturers are focusing on practical designs for indoor swimming and, at the same time, giving greater attention to traits like performance, comfort, design, and style.
In Australia, according to the National Sports Participation report, swimming was the most common outdoor activity in 2014. Nearly 50% of children aged 6-13, and 10% of individuals aged 14 and above, regularly participate in swimming activities. Also, increasing expenditure on lifestyle goods, coupled with an increasing preference for swimming as a leisure and recreational activity, is driving the growth of the swimwear market in the Asia-Pacific region.
