Ice Hockey Equipment Market to Reach US$ 1,400 Mn by 2017-2022, Fact.MR survey reveals

Specialized equipment is used by ice hockey players for both facilitating their game play and for protection purposes, as ice hockey is a sport wherein injuries are common. This equipment is used by players for protecting their bodies from fractures and bruises. Helmet, neck guard, shoulder pads, elbow pads, hockey jersey, hockey gloves, hockey pants, jockstrap, shin guards, mouth guard, and ice skate are the products that come under the purview of ice hockey equipment.

The NHL has recently made changes to the length of goalie’s leg pads, reducing their size in order to prevent obstruction of the five hole between legs. Goalies will need to wear equipment such as blockers, catch gloves, and chest guards, which better suit their body sizes. Changing rules of the protective goalie gear is a major factor influencing growth of the global ice hockey equipment market. The changes made in the rules will make goalies to purchase gears that match their body sizes, instead of using the existing standard oversize equipment, which in turn will lead to a loss in current stock available in the market. Over the past few years, several vendors have been making innovations in helmets for protecting players from concussions. Leading vendors such as Performance Sports Group and Adidas have therefore commenced launching new helmets made of flexible materials, which have fluid-filled bladders for preventing injuries to the head of the ice hockey player. Owing to the abilities of these helmets, their adoption will witness a tremendous surge in the upcoming years. Vendors have been exploring new opportunities across developing economies of Asia, and Europe. Some of the major vendors are also adopting various marketing strategies for increasing their market share. As the market for ice hockey equipment is witnessing a number of changes, a stagnant growth has been estimated for the global ice hockey equipment market by a report of Fact.MR, during the forecast period 2017 to 2022. Revenues from the market are projected to reach nearly US$ 1,400 Mn by 2022-end.
