The Global Yoga Mat Market size is expected to reach $13.4 billion by 2028, rising at a market growth of 5.8% CAGR during the forecast period.

Modern yoga as exercise uses specially crafted mats called "yoga mats" to prevent hands and feet from slipping during asana practice. A sticky mat was an early version composed of rubber carpet underlay that was invented by yoga instructor Angela Farmer in 1982. Hatha and meditation yoga were traditionally practiced on bare ground, occasionally with a rug made of deer or tiger leather. Modern yoga mats are constructed of plastic, rubber, and occasionally other materials like hessian and cork, balancing price, grip, comfort, and weight. The phrase "one of the most pervasive emblems of yoga's commercialization" has been used to describe the yoga mat.

Although there are wider varieties, most yoga mats are 24 inches (60 centimeters) wide and 72 inches (182 centimeters) long. They range in thickness from 2 millimeters to 7 millimeters, with 4 to 5 millimeters being the most typical. These days, yoga mats come in a huge variety. They are available in a wide variety of hues, designs, and patterns. Some are made with the environment in mind, while others are made to be portable and usable anywhere.

Yoga mats come in a range of thicknesses, materials, surface textures, "stickiness" or grip, weight, and prices. They typically measure 6 feet (180 cm) long and 2 feet wide (61 cm). Yoga mats can be as thin as 116 inches (2 mm) for lightweight "travel" styles, as thick as 18 inches (3 mm) for normal mats, or as thick as 14 inches (6 mm) for either high-performing- performing mats or soft mattresses for yoga therapy. There are numerous colors and styles of mats available. The purpose of "alignment mats," which are printed with guidelines for proper alignment, is to assist practitioners in accurately spacing out and aligning their feet. Others have graphics printed on them. Some travel mats can be compactly squared up.

The original "sticky" yoga mats used in commercial production had a smooth surface and were typically less expensive; they were composed of PVC. More recently, some allegedly "green" mats have been created using rubber, organic cotton, and natural jute. PVC mats are the most pliable and have the most "give" when stepped on; cotton and jute fiber mats are the firmest. The roughest mats are made of jute; "sticky" PVC mats provide strong traction, but some contemporary textured mats made of various materials also offer high traction.

Market Growth Factors

Government agencies from all over the world are urging producers to use eco-friendly materials while creating yoga mats. Yoga mat makers are switching from using PVC materials to a variety of eco-friendly materials such as cotton, jute, and many others to comply with strict government rules. Businesses like Manduka, Yoloha, Prana, Jade Yoga, and Tomuno, among others, are concentrating on employing materials that emit little carbon dioxide during production. Even though they may differ in terms of their features and the materials used to make them, they all share the ability to serve as an environmentally friendly replacement for conventional PVC yoga mats.

Market Restraining Factors

Price Volatility For Raw Materials

Yoga mats are made from a variety of basic materials, including natural rubber, polyvinyl chloride (PVC), thermoplastic elastomer (TPE), and polyurethane (PU).
