The rise in demand for eco-friendly diving suits is the primary trend shaping market growth. Before the choice of fabrics to manufacture a swimsuit, sustainability is an important factor taken into account by both manufacturers and suppliers. Some examples of brands that offer eco-friendly swimwear are The Eco Gypsy, Koru Swimwear, Aqua Green, and Emobi. Of late, traditional leather, synthetic rubber, polyurethane, nylon, and other synthetic materials have been replaced by organic, water-based adhesives. Recycled plastic materials are also used as raw materials.
Moreover, advanced materials such as thermoplastic elastomers (an advanced, non-toxic material) have been increasingly used by key competitors for producing eco-friendly diving suits. For example, in July 2021, BEUCHAT INTERNATIONAL S.A.S committed to adopting an eco-friendly neoprene material for producing its diving suits. Hence, the growing demand for eco-friendly diving suits will drive the growth of the global market trends in focus during the forecast period.
Seasonal demand for diving suits is a challenge that affects market growth. The advent of water sports, such as diving, has been negatively affected by unfavourable and unpredictable weather conditions. In the event of severe thunderstorms and hurricanes, there will be a complete prohibition on water sports such as diving, standup paddleboarding, jet skiing, flyboarding, or raffling. Fluctuations in weather patterns and factors like extreme humidity or temperature falls negatively impact favorable conditions. This hinders the growth of the global market.
Moreover, uncertain tidal conditions, too, negatively impact the visibility of the diver. The Ring of Fire in the Pacific Ocean restricts diving activities in the area to a large extent. Such aspects limit the frequency of participation and lead to a shift from outdoor to indoor sports. Hence, these factors may impede the growth of the market during the forecast period.
