An outlook of the global skateboarding equipment market
According to the skateboard industry analysis, the global skateboarding equipment market is envisaged to witness slow growth and will post a CAGR of more than 1% over the forecast period. Owing to the growing popularity of skateboarding and an increasing number of people participating in the sport, the number of skateboarding tournaments and matches played worldwide is on the rise. The increasing popularity of the sport is also paving the way for its adoption in countries where its awareness was low. For instance, the World Skateboarding Grand Prix recently announced its first-ever Southeast Asian Skateboarding Championships to be held in Da Nang, Vietnam. This event will include both the Southeast Asian Championships and Vietnam National Championships and will be broadcasted in over 173 countries. Since these competitions are being organized in developing regions, a subsequent growth in the availability of suitable infrastructure in these regions can also be seen. Therefore, the growing popularity and increasing adoption of the sport will have a positive impact on the growth of this market in the coming years.
Increasing demand for eco-friendly products is one of the emerging skateboarding trends spurring this market’s growth over the forecast period. Due to the rising concerns about preserving the environment, sporting goods manufacturers are readily adopting ways to make the products eco-friendly. Therefore, organic cotton, water-based adhesives, and recycled plastic materials are replacing traditional leather, synthetic rubber, polyurethane, nylon, and other synthetic materials used to manufacturer different sports equipment. Moreover, a newly developed and advanced non-toxic, a green material called thermoplastic elastomer is being increasingly used in sports equipment. For example, Glide Skateboards are hand-crafted and made from reclaimed and sustainable materials like maple planks, which were once used by the Virginia State University Trojans.
