INDUSTRY SHIFTS & MARKET DYNAMICS

Basketball participation is creating a wider customer base for performance footwear. In the United States, 31.9 million people aged six and older played basketball at least once in 2024, representing a 7.5% increase from 29.7 million in 2023, according to the Sports & Fitness Industry Association. Australia has approximately 1.3 million basketball players, while school tournaments and youth development programmes in India are expanding opportunities for new buyers. These participation trends support demand for shoes used in regular practice, recreational games, and organised competition.

Product launches and athlete partnerships are also shaping competition. Women's signature models from Nike and Reebok are broadening product choices, while Li-Ning's long-term partnership with Stephen Curry and the launch of new signature footwear by brands such as New Balance and PUMA demonstrate the importance of athlete-led product development. Signature shoes priced between USD 120 and USD 160 featured prominently in the market during 2025 and 2026.

However, higher input costs and trade policy uncertainty remain challenges for manufacturers. The Footwear Distributors and Retailers of America reported that footwear import duties and rising costs for petroleum-based components could put pressure on retail prices and margins. Since approximately 99% of footwear sold in the United States is imported, changes in import duties can affect sourcing decisions and product pricing. FMI expects pricing strategies, athlete partnerships, and sourcing flexibility to influence how brands capture additional market value through 2036.
