Triathlon Clothing Market Size

Triathlon Clothing Market size exceeded USD 1.9 billion in 2022 and will grow at a 7.5% CAGR from 2023 to 2032.
 

Rising obesity and increasing awareness of the advantages of cycling and swimming will help the triathlon apparel market grow. Triathlon is a growing sport and these apparels aid in reducing drag in the water, improving aerodynamics on the bike, and enhancing comfort and breathability during physical workouts. Additionally, the popularity of stylish, high-quality triathlon clothing due to emerging fitness trends globally is boosting product demand.
 

Triathlon is a niche sport and thus, its apparel sees low adoption compared to other athletic wear. The use of high-tech materials in the making of these clothing has increased product prices, which impacts the market outlook negatively. Moreover, several companies have a large customer base, restraining the growth of small businesses. However, the commercialization and shifting lifestyle trends in developing nations have pushed market growth.
 

COVID-19 Impact

The COVID-19 pandemic had a positive impact on the triathlon clothing market due to the increasing popularity of outdoor sports such as triathlons in line with a strong inclination towards staying active while adhering to social distancing protocols. However, supply chain disruptions and halts in manufacturing activities resulted in low demand for this apparel due to delayed or canceled events. Nevertheless, in the post-pandemic scenario, rising awareness regarding triathlon events globally is propelling industry expansion.
 

Triathlon Clothing Market Trends

Growing fashion trends and increasing participation of Chinese athletes in Triathlon are fueling the market growth. For instance, in Asia Triathlon Cup 2023, Chinese triathletes dominated the competition with two golds in the Women’s event, while bronze and silver in the men’s event. Moreover, the strong prevalence of industry players, especially in China is accelerating product adoption. However, the availability of alternatives is negatively impacting the triathlon clothing market outlook.
 

Triathlon Clothing Market Analysis

 In terms of type, the market is segmented as tri shorts, tri tops, and tri suits. The triathlon clothing industry size from the tri-suits segment will grow at more than 8% CAGR over 2023-2032 as tri-suits are a style of clothing that can be worn by both men and women. They are made of a stretchy material and can be worn snugly on the body while jogging or riding. Quick drying technology, breathability, quick-wicking, aerodynamic fit and fabric, zipper access, and increasing consumer willingness to spend on triathlon apparel are also driving segment expansion.
 

Based on application, the industry is categorized into men and women. The men segment accounted for 64% of the triathlon clothing market revenue in 2022 due to the strong prevalence of male participants at both formal and informal events such as Ironman. As per Triathlon Australia, the majority of triathlon attendance in Australia in 2019 was by men (64%). Furthermore, market participants are taking efforts to launch triathlon-clothing collections that cater to country-specific demand. Triathlon clothing for males is available from brands like HUUBINDIA and comprises wet suits, tri suits, and other triathlon gear.
 

North America triathlon clothing market was valued at USD 940 million in 2022, attributed to increasing R&D investments in textiles and ethical fashion materials created with low-impact technologies, such as organic cotton and recycled nylon, especially in the U.S. The U.S. textile and apparel import rose by over 22% in 2022. These factors are expected to have a positive impact on the regional market through the projected period.
