Published: Jul 2023 | Report Code: OMR2026748 | Category : Consumer Goods | Delivery Format: /

The global watersports suits market is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 5.3% during the forecast period. The global watersports suit market growth is driven by the factors such as the rising inclination of people towards numerous watersports activities which include wakeboarding, water skiing, scuba diving, and rising sports tournaments and recreational activities globally. Moreover, these suits are gaining immense popularity owing to their diversified applications in sea rescue and other commercial operations, which in turn drive market growth. The rising adoption of modern materials and technologies, including polytherm tri-laminate material and no-stitch technology in watersports suits design and manufacturing, is expected to impel market growth. 

Snorkeling and scuba diving are becoming an integral part of recreational activities, particularly among adventure and soft sports enthusiasts. Due to this, watersports suit manufacturers are investing in R&D to enhance the overall consumer experience. Apart from these, many government bodies globally are promoting watersports in their regions to increase tourism revenue and to motivate people towards an active lifestyle. Growing urbanization and financial boost in overall household income globally have enabled people to increase their spending on luxury sports and services thereby offering significant opportunities for industry growth.

The watersports suits market has registered a decline in growth during the COVID-19 pandemic. The pandemic led to the closure of all outdoor activities to curb the spreading of the virus among people by avoiding gatherings. This has affected the overall production of watersports suits and significantly impacted sales of wetsuits across all continents. Moreover, most of the recreational activities, major international sports, and tournaments had been postponed by the sports academics which hampered the overall production of the product at the time of the pandemic. 

Segmental Outlook  

The global watersports suits market is segmented based on type, application, and raw material. Based on type, the market is sub-segmented into wetsuits, life jackets, swim wears, drysuits, and others. Among these, the wetsuit segment is projected to gain the highest share owing to the growing popularity of water sports such as surfing, waterskiing, wakeboarding, swimming, Scuba, kayaking, triathlons, and others. Based on application, the market is subdivided into scuba diving, surfing, kayaking, and others. Based on raw materials, the market is classified into polystyrene, rubber neoprene, and foamed neoprene. 

Based on material type, the rubber neoprene segment is likely to contribute a considerable share to the market growth during the forecast period. The increasing usage and demand for watersports suits made of foamed neoprene globally. Neoprene which is also known as polychloroprene is a very pliable rubber-like material with insulating properties like rubber or other solid plastics. Owing to an excellent temperature range performance, and flexible, stretchy, and water-resistant qualities, neoprene rubber is a premier material broadly used for designing watersports suits. 

Regional Outlook 

Geographically, the global watersports suits market is classified into four major regions including North America (the US and Canada), Europe (UK, Germany, France, Italy, Spain, and the Rest of Europe), Asia-Pacific (India, China, Japan, South Korea, and Rest of Asia-Pacific), and Rest of the World (Latin America and the Middle East and Africa (MEA)). Europe is predicted to show notable growth in the global watersports suits market during the forecast period. A surge in scuba diving has been one of the major growth enablers for the watersports suits market. Countries such as Croatia and Italy mostly have adventurous cruises. For instance, Croatia’s Liveaboard boats are mostly adventure cruises that are snorkeling friendly. Italy has many great snorkeling spots, mostly on islands such as the Egadi Islands, Sicily, Capri, and others. Due to this, the demand for the product is high in the region.
