MARKET GROWTH FACTORS

German sportswear consumption is led by the increasing health consciousness and fitness-oriented demands of millennial and Generation Z consumers, and the growing popularity of gym, running, cycling and yoga. Demand is further strengthened by government and corporate-backed initiatives to promote sports and other physical activities, as well as healthy living in a post-pandemic world. The demand for sportswear clothing that is functional, fashionable and has versatility, and can therefore be worn off the training grounds as sports leisurewear, is also driving the market.

Athleisure and fashion sportswear continue in popularity. Sportswear blends with other fashions. Consumers in urban areas want clothes for sport and daily life. This fuels demand for versatile clothing options. Clothing brands associated with sports and lifestyle collaborate with designers or celebrities which furthers the trend. Companies focus on ergonomic, fashionable clothing for all occasions.

Consumers in Germany sustain, production occurs fairly, and this influences the growth of the German sportswear market. Demand in favor of recycled, organic and other sustainable fabric is expected to increase. For transparent supply chains, consumer demand gives a competitive advantage to sustainable businesses which use eco-friendly fabrics, non-toxic low-impact dyes, circular production, and fair labor practices. This trend is expected to grow with climate change awareness affecting consumer decisions.
