Lightest Emission Sneaker Pioneer Sustainability Trend: A Crucial Influence on the Activewear Market's Transformation in 2025

What industry-specific factors are fueling the growth of the activewear market?
The growth of the activewear market is projected to be fueled by an increase in recreational activities. Recreational activities encompass a broad spectrum of pastimes undertaken for fun, entertainment, and pleasure, including but not limited to sports, games, hobbies, reading, TV viewing, movie watching, and more. The popularity of recreational activities is spurred by a heightened understanding of the need for physical health and an increasing inclination towards leisure activities to relieve stress and boost overall well-being. Activewear assists in body temperature regulation by allowing heat to dissipate, consequently preventing overheating. The breathable fabric facilitates air flow, keeping the wearer cool during vigorous exercises, or in elevated temperatures. This aids in avoiding irritation, discomfort, and chafing, enabling better focus on the activity. For example, the Outdoor Industry Association (OIA), a non-profit organization based in the US, made known, in their Outdoor Participation Trend report in June 2023, that the participant count for outdoor recreation rose by 2.3% in 2022; a record 168.1 million participants, a jump from 164.2 million in 2021. This equates to 55% of Americans aged six or older. Consequently, the growth of the activewear market is predicted to be driven by escalating recreational activities.

What new trends are reshaping the activewear market and its opportunities?
Firms in the athletic apparel industry are stepping up their focus on sustainability and ecologically friendly products, such as sneakers with the lowest emissions. The minimal emission footwear are sports shoes engineered to minimize carbon emissions throughout their entire lifecycle, appealing to eco-aware customers looking for greener choices. Take for example, ASICS Corporation., a sportswear producer based in Japan, introduced the GEL-LYTE III CM 1.95 sneaker in September 2023, a shoe which emits just 1.95kg of CO2 per pair, the lowest CO2 emissions sneaker on the market. This groundbreaking footwear utilizes carbon-negative foam in its midsole and sock liner, elements partly obtained from sugarcane, and solution-dyed polyester, all contributing to its green credentials.
