According to the analysts at Technavio, the tennis apparel market is envisaged to witness steady growth at a moderate CAGR of more than 2% over the forecast period. An increasing number of celebrity endorsements is one of the most important factors driving the growth of this market globally. Launching campaigns related to tennis and promoting products by famous players is an old and effective marketing strategy undertaken by most tennis apparel manufacturing companies. Such vendors get tennis icons like Roger Federer, Andy Murray, Rafael Nadal, and Serena Williams for launching their new product lines. Also, many vendors name their tennis apparel collections after famous players to help propel sales, thus, cashing in on the celebrity fan following. Moreover, vendors sponsor various tennis tournaments and matches as part of their product promotions. This increase in promotional activities is likely to propel the growth prospects for this market over the predicted period.
In this industry research report, the analysts have estimated factors such as the growing market for children’s tennis apparel to impel the growth prospects for this market in the coming years. Besides parents, many educational institutions have started encouraging children to take up sports like tennis actively. Since these institutes help students with proper training and guidance, the demand for children’s tennis apparel will increase substantially over the next few years.
