Market Growth Factors

Market growth is driven by health awareness, growing outdoor and sports activity and the growing trend towards sports and fitness. Spanish people are increasingly participating in swimming, cycling, fishing and hiking, which is driving growth in these markets. The growth is backed by structural drivers such as the development of sports facilities by the government to improve the sporting experience, growth in fitness technology and the growing eCommerce channel increasing accessibility to the large range of sports and leisure products for leisure time activities.

The pre-existing travel and leisure industry in Spain is another factor supporting growth, as a record 93.8 million international tourist arrivals in Spain in 2024 spurred demand for bicycles, hiking gear, beach equipment and other recreational gear. Seasonal peaks in tourism and local participation, along with the frequent occurrence of sporting events, ensure constant exposure and presence of high-end sports brands in different markets, offering new business opportunities for suppliers.

Much of the increase in demand for sports and leisure equipment is due to sustained increases in disposable income. Sales of sports equipment in the mid and high price range, where quality and durability are of particular relevance, are benefitting the most from the rising demand. According to the 2024 Household Budget Survey, household consumption has grown by 4.4% to 34044 euros. This has helped to drive demand for upgraded branded consumption, as well as both mainstream and specialty market segments.
