Middle East and Africa School Uniform Market Forecast to 2028 - COVID-19 Impact and Regional Analysis By Product Type (Topwear, Bottomwear, Footwear, and Others), Category (Boys and Girls), and Distribution Channel (Supermarkets and Hypermarkets, Specialty Stores, Online Retail, and Others)
The MEA school uniform market is expected to grow from US$ 3,819.57 million in 2021 to US$ 4,977.69 million by 2028; it is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 3.9% from 2021 to 2028.
For students to stay healthy and avoid unwanted illness, regular physical activities in the form of sports are important. Regular physical activities reduce the risk of obesity, which is a common problem among kids nowadays. Sports activities also help reduce chronic muscular tension and blood sugar levels, strengthen lungs, and regulate blood pressure. Students participating in sports are seen to be more energetic. Including physical activities right from childhood will help them make it a part of their routine with ease. Thus, there is a growing emphasis on sports and extracurricular activities in schools. This, in turn, is creating demand for school sports uniforms such as t-shirts, shorts, sports jerseys, sports jackets, sports lowers, and sports shoes. In addition, a growing focus on extracurricular activities such as hobbies and educational clubs creates demand for school uniforms.
The COVID-19 pandemic has had a severe impact on the economy of the MEA. The closedown of schools for prolonged periods amid the pandemic has caused serious disruptions in the market. With schools remaining mostly shut for almost two years, uniform sellers and manufacturers have been among the worst-hit segments. They faced a severe cash crunch in 2020 due to a huge stock of unsold goods. The COVID-19 pandemic has also impacted the production of school uniform fabric. Further, the growing trend of online classes has been detrimental to the demand for school uniforms. However, as the countries are striving to reopen schools, the demand for school uniforms is expected to rise in the coming years.
With the new features and technologies, vendors can attract new customers and expand their footprints in emerging markets. This factor is likely to drive the MEA school uniform market during the forecast period.
