Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report's Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.
The rapid escalation of U.S. tariffs and the resulting strain on trade relations in spring 2025 are significantly impacting the Paper, Plastics, Rubber, Wood, and Textile sector by driving up the costs of essential imported inputs such as pulp, resin, synthetic rubber, lumber, and cotton, many of which have limited domestic alternatives. Packaging manufacturers, for instance, are facing higher prices for plastic films and corrugated materials, further squeezing margins in an already highly price-sensitive environment. Similarly, textile producers are grappling with increased costs for imported yarns and dyes, adding to the burden of rising labor expenses. In response, some companies are turning to recycled or biodegradable materials, while others are consolidating their supplier base to secure bulk discounts.

The fly fishing apparel and accessories market size has grown steadily in recent years. It will grow from $3.34 billion in 2024 to $3.45 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3.3%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to growth in popularity of fly fishing, increased participation in outdoor activities, growth in demand for eco-friendly products, increased popularity of catch-and-release fishing, growth interest in fashion and style.
The fly fishing apparel and accessories market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $4.31 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.7%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing demand for seafood, growing demand for eco-friendly products, increasing disposable income, recreational fly fishing gaining traction, increasing number of women participating in fly fishing. Major trends in the forecast period include expansion of product portfolios by major manufacturers, ongoing technological advancements, innovations in fishing equipment, development of eco-friendly and sustainable fly fish apparel, rising adoption of strategies by key players.
The forecast of 5.7% growth over the next five years reflects a slight reduction of 0.2% from the previous projection. This reduction is primarily due to the impact of tariffs between the US and other countries. This is likely to directly affect the US through tariffs on technical fabrics, waterproof zippers, and neoprene gear imported from China and Vietnam, increasing costs for specialty outdoor and angling brands. The effect will also be felt more widely due to reciprocal tariffs and the negative effect on the global economy and trade due to increased trade tensions and restrictions.
The growing interest in outdoor activities is expected to boost the fly-fishing apparel and accessories market in the coming years. Outdoor activities encompass various leisure, recreational, sporting, and cultural pursuits that take place outside. Fly fishing offers a unique and immersive experience that attracts both beginners and seasoned enthusiasts, as more people seek to reconnect with nature and engage in leisure hobbies. For example, a report published by the American Canoe Association, a US-based sports organization, indicated that in 2022, the number of outdoor recreation participants increased by 2.3%, reaching a record 168.1 million participants, which represents 55% of the U.S. population aged 6 and older. Therefore, this heightened interest in outdoor activities is likely to drive growth in the fly-fishing apparel and accessories market.
The increasing participation in fishing is expected to drive growth in the fly-fishing apparel and accessories market. Fishing is a recreational activity that involves catching fish for sport or leisure, often enjoyed in various environments such as lakes, rivers, and seas. The fly-fishing apparel and accessories market plays a crucial role in promoting fishing participation by providing specialized gear, comfortable clothing, and essential accessories that cater to enthusiasts' needs and enhance their overall experience. For example, the Food and Agriculture Organization, a Canada-based specialized agency of the United Nations, forecasts that annual fisheries and aquaculture production will reach 185 million tonnes in 2023, marking a 0.6% increase from 2022 levels. Therefore, the growing interest in fishing is anticipated to propel the fly-fishing apparel and accessories market.
Fly-fishing apparel and accessories market witnesses a significant trend of product innovation, with major companies actively engaged in developing cutting-edge products to fortify their market positions.

The initial product lineup includes two waders, two coats, two insulation pieces, two sun shirts, wading pants, and shorts. Employing innovative breathable and insulation design and technology, the brand ensures angler comfort in diverse temperature conditions, featuring industry-leading stretch fabrics.
Prominent companies in the fly-fishing apparel and accessories market are emphasizing the development of advanced materials, exemplified by the integration of graphite technology to deliver reliable services. Sage, a US-based provider of high-quality fly fishing equipment, exemplified this approach in March 2022 with the introduction of the R8 Core Fly Rod. This rod incorporates an amplified two-way feedback loop enabled by novel materials, allowing anglers to better sense the rod's power throughout casting, presentation, and fish fighting, enhancing overall control. The rod utilizes an entirely new set of materials, resulting in a noticeably lighter, more torsionally stable, and feedback-enhanced product.
In August 2022, Vista Outdoor Inc., a US-based company specializing in outdoor sports and leisure goods, executed a strategic move by acquiring Simms Fishing Goods for $192.5 million.
