Global Licensed Sports Merchandise Market Size study & Forecast, by Product (Sports Apparel, Sports Footwear, Toys and Games, Others), by Distribution Channel (Online, Offline) and Regional Analysis, 2022-2029

Global Licensed Sports Merchandise Market is valued at approximately USD 31.92 billion in 2021 and is anticipated to grow with a healthy growth rate of more than 4.90% over the forecast period 2022-2029. Various goods that have the endorsement of a sportsperson or a sports organisation are referred to as licenced sports merchandise. It comprises goods like sports equipment, games, clothing, shoes, and accessories for men, women, and children that come in a broad range of hues, variations, and sizes. The rising number of sports fans, along with increased urbanisation and the growth of the online retail sector, are some of the key reasons fueling the market's progress. The industry is also expanding as a result of a noticeable increase in the number of national and international sports leagues. Traditional retailing channels are constantly losing ground to online platforms that offer a wide range of products and a convenient shopping experience for real premium-quality goods at affordable prices. Additionally, female engagement in sports has broadened the market's reach.

For example, the Saudi Arabian Football Federation (SAFF) declared in November 2022 that the German sportswear firm Adidas would take over from Nike as the official kit supplier of Saudi Arabia's national soccer teams beginning in 2023. Adidas will serve as the SAFF's only provider of all training and game apparel through the year 2026, including for the men's, women's, and youth teams. Additionally, the expansion of sports leagues across the globe has boosted sales of officially approved gear. However, the high cost of Licensed Sports Merchandise stifles market growth throughout the forecast period of 2022-2029.

The key regions considered for the Global Licensed Sports Merchandise Market study include Asia Pacific, North America, Europe, Latin America, and Rest of the World. By 2029, North America has surpassed all other regions as the world’s largest market. The increased participation in sports like baseball, basketball, and soccer, especially among college and university students, active lifestyles among the general public, and an increase in the adoption of health and fitness activities are all factors that contribute to market dominance and are likely to present new growth opportunities for market participants in the North American licenced sports merchandise industry. Due to a surge in the popularity of numerous international sports among teens and the increased adoption of cross-cultural fashion trends, Asia Pacific is anticipated to experience the fastest growth in the CAGR during the forecast period.
