Product premiumization owing to more innovation in yoga accessories is notably driving the market growth. Innovation is crucial in the global market as it helps differentiate products and improve consumer satisfaction. Many manufacturers are introducing unique yoga accessories, including mats in various colors, patterns, and styles. These innovations often incorporate AI technology and digital connectivity, enhancing the user experience and providing additional functionalities. Furthermore, these accessories are designed to complement stretching movements and may even include features such as a yoga assistant to guide users through their practice. These mats are made from materials like natural jute and rubber. For example, Lululemon athletica Inc. offers The Reversible Mat, made from natural rubber with an antibacterial ingredient to prevent mold and mildew.
Consumers are willing to pay more for premium products that offer higher quality and durability. Higher quality and premium materials provide better grip, comfort, and longevity compared to standard mats, making them desirable for consumers seeking a higher-quality yoga experience. Sequential Brands Group Inc. produces the 8mm-thick Performance Premium-Grip Yoga Mat under the GAIAM brand. This nonslip mat, made of natural rubber with an internal stabilizing core, provides comfort and convenience. Introducing innovative and premium products can help companies increase profit margins and gain a competitive edge. These factors are expected to drive market growth in the forecast period.
The increasing availability of custom yoga mats is an emerging trend in the market growth. Customized yoga mats are becoming increasingly popular in the global market. Yoga mat personalization and customization have emerged as key determinants of purchase decisions. These variables are driven by technology, supply chain transformation, and organizational restructuring. The manufacturers can now produce and supply items based on measurements and specifications provided by customers.
ANYMATIC LLC, for example, offers personalized mats. The company provides customized standard yoga mats, travel yoga mats, and children's yoga mats. To accommodate individual preferences, the company offers three distinct types of yoga mats. Customers can add an image and text to the mat based on their preferences. Several market companies are expected to offer such customized yoga mats based on consumer needs during the forecast period. Hence, such factors will propel the growth of the global market during the forecast period.
The rising popularity of outdoor sports activities is a major challenge impeding the market growth. People are becoming more interested in different sports as society's tendency toward leading active, healthy lifestyles grows. Many people include sports in their daily routines. For instance, the proportion of people who bicycled increased from 7% in 2021 to almost 8% in 2022. Similarly, between 2021 and 2022, triathlon participation increased by about 13% across the world. Regular outdoor physical activity has a variety of positive health effects, including a reduction in the discomfort of arthritis, weight loss, lowered blood pressure, and a lower risk of diabetes, certain cancers, osteoporosis, and cardiovascular diseases.
Additionally, sports and outdoor physical activity also give people a chance to socialize and meet people who share their interests. They revive and soothe the mind, improve one's attitude, and give one a healthy sense of self-worth. They also increase one's confidence, creativity, and self-worth. Numerous of these advantages of outdoor exercise may reduce the number of people who choose yoga as a way to enhance their health. In the end, this lowers the demand for yoga mats. Thus, such factors will have a negative impact on the global market during the forecast period.
