The football equipment market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $17.4 billion in 2023 to $18.4 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.8%. The historical period witnessed growth primarily due to the global popularity of football as a sport, increased sponsorship and endorsements from sports brands, the impact of professional football leagues and tournaments, a surge in participation in organized football leagues, and the development of safety standards in football.
The football equipment market size is expected to see steady growth in the next few years. It will grow to $22.27 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.9%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period can be ascribed to the growth of the sports retail and merchandise industry, the cultural significance and tradition associated with football, advancements in sports science and training methods, the expanding influence of e-commerce and online sales channels, the trend towards customization and personalization of football gear, and the increasing popularity of limited edition and collector's items in football merchandise. Key trends projected for the forecast period include technological advancements in football manufacturing, innovations in football equipment technology, the integration of smart technologies into football equipment, the incorporation of biometrics into player gear, and the expansion of virtual and augmented reality experiences in sports equipment.
The anticipated growth in the football equipment market is expected to be propelled by the increasing rates of sports participation. Engaging in sports not only enhances physical and mental well-being but also fosters socialization and builds relationships with teammates and coaches. Factors contributing to heightened sports participation rates include the popularity of organized team sports, increased athletic department funding in schools, and social elements such as sporting experiences. For example, as reported by Football Australia in January 2022, total football participation saw a 20% increase in 2021, reaching 1,421,804 participants from 1,181,931 in 2020. Outdoor football participation also experienced a 16% growth, equivalent to 77,107 participants, from 2020 to 2021. Consequently, the upsurge in sports participation rates is a key driver for the growth of the football equipment market.
The increasing popularity of football among women is another factor expected to contribute to the growth of the football equipment market. Women's football, encompassing competitive leagues, tournaments, and international competitions, has gained prominence. Football equipment tailored for women is crucial for ensuring player safety, optimizing performance, and empowering female athletes. This specialized gear addresses the unique needs of women in football, fostering the growth and recognition of women's football. As of August 2023, according to the Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA), there were 16.6 million women and girls actively participating in organized football, with 3.9 million registered female players. Globally, the number of professional female players reached 19,064, and there were a total of 55,622 women's football clubs in 2023, with 59% of these clubs located in Europe. Hence, the increasing popularity of football among women is contributing significantly to the growth of the football equipment market.
