Athletic Shoe Stores in the UK - Industry Market Research Report

Tied up: Solid demand for athleisure and casual dress is ramping up industry demand

Athletic shoe store revenue is expected to creep upwards at a compound annual rate of 5% over the five years through 2023-24. While the British high street has struggled, athletic shoe store retailers have remained resilient. Exercise boosts physical and wellbeing, and everyone wants to get those endorphins pumping - rising participation in sports means pumped-up sales. Athleisure and casual dress have gained acceptance in mainstream fashion thanks to the wellness movement and hybrid working. Athletic shoe retailers' marketing goes far beyond product features and taps into emotional experiences, creating a sense of community and brand loyalty that keeps shoppers returning. Some trainers aren't made to be worn - instead, they are seen as collectors' items and are high in demand and changing business models boost direct-to-consumer sales (DTC).

This industry includes retailers that sell athletic shoes, such as running shoes, basketball shoes and trainers. These stores may also sell apparel. Used goods and online-only operators are excluded from the industry.

This report covers the scope, size, disposition and growth of the industry including the key sensitivities and success factors. Also included are five year industry forecasts, growth rates and an analysis of the industry key players and their market shares.
