Growing Retail Sales to Stimulate Global Sports Protective Equipment Market 

"The swift growth of the retail industry has paved the way for the rapid sales of sport protective equipment", says an analyst at TMR. The emergence of several companies operating in the retail industry has acted as a leverage for the manufacturers of sport protective equipment to promote their products through these channels, coupled with aggressive marketing and promotional activities.

Further, the increasing retail outlets in the developing economies are expected to boost the retail sales of sports protective equipment over the forecast period. The growing interest and participation of individuals in sports activities and the rising consumer awareness regarding fitness and health are also projected to drive the growth in this market over the next few years. However, the easy availability of counterfeit products in the global market may affect the sales of sports protective equipment, hampering the market in the near future, notes the study.
