A recent market research report has valued the Indian sports apparel market at $498.68 million in 2020, and predicts that it will grow by 16.06 percent by 2026. The report, titled “Indian Sports Apparel Market 2021,” has been released by Dublin-based ResearchAndMarkets. The growth will be primarily driven by increasing health concerns and disposable income among the population. The rising influence of social media among consumers, combined with a surging number of health diseases, have made the Indian consumers more fitness- and health-conscious, leading to significant growth in the demand for sports apparel in India. The Indian market is also witnessing huge growth in the demand for women’s sports garments, the report notes.
