Through rising health and fitness awareness, participation in sport has increased and as a result the sports and activewear sector is expected to grow from $2,669 million in 2022 to $8,957 million by 2030, at a compound annual growth rate of 9.1% (source Grand View Research).  Additional game changing growth factors include technological advancements, global sporting events, rising e-commerce trade and the emergence of new players entering the arena through social media platforms.
