Athleisure Global Market Report 2025

Description

Athleisure encompasses a clothing style that blends athletic wear with casual everyday attire, prioritizing comfort, flexibility, and functionality. This style often blurs the boundaries between gym wear and streetwear, offering garments known for their stretchiness and moisture-wicking properties, suitable for both physical activities and leisure.

The primary categories of athleisure include mass-market and premium options. Mass-market products are produced in large quantities to meet general population demand, usually priced affordably or at lower costs. They include a range of items such as yoga apparel, shirts, leggings, shorts, and more, accessible to consumers through various distribution channels such as online and offline outlets, catering to men, women, and children.

The athleisure market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $441.05 billion in 2024 to $490.24 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.2%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to an increased focus on health and fitness, the rise of e-commerce, urbanization, and globalization, the increase of celebrity endorsements and influencer culture, and changes in lifestyle trends.

The athleisure market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $739.1 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.8%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing sustainability and ethical practices, demand for personalized athleisure wear, the incidence of chronic lifestyle diseases, and market expansion in emerging economies. Major trends in the forecast period include technical advancements, innovation in design and technology, adoption of digital technologies and augmented reality, integration of fashion and technology, and innovations in fabric technology.

The rise in sports participation is expected to drive the growth of the athleisure market in the coming years. Sports participation encompasses engaging in physical activities or games, ranging from recreational pursuits for enjoyment and fitness to competitive sports played at various levels, requiring physical exertion and skill. The surge in sports participation is attributed to increased awareness of the importance of physical activity for health and well-being, the availability of more accessible facilities and programs, and initiatives promoting inclusivity and diversity in sports. Athleisure wear is utilized in sports due to its comfort, functionality, and versatility, blurring the lines between athletic and casual clothing. For example, according to the National Federation of State High School Associations in September 2023, a total of 78.57 million participants took part in high school sports during the 2022 and 2023 academic years, marking an increase of nearly 240,000 participants and a growth rate of over 3% compared to previous years. Thus, the increasing sports participation is a driving force behind the growth of the athleisure market.

Key players in the athleisure market are focusing on developing eco-friendly or multifunctional clothing, such as bio-based elastane activewear, to offer sustainable activewear options to consumers and capitalize on market opportunities. Bio-based elastane activewear refers to athleisure garments made from sustainable materials derived from natural sources, creating clothing items that are both functional and environmentally friendly. For instance, in November 2022, PANGAIA, a UK-based lifestyle products and accessories provider, introduced Activewear 3.0, the next generation of plant-based activewear. This new range utilizes a 99.99% plant-based EVO Nylon and 30% first-of-its-kind creora, a bio-based elastane sourced from industrial corn, to create a highly sustainable offering. The activewear line includes four key styles in three colorways and is designed to blend nature with high-tech processes and sustainable chemicals to enhance textile functionality.

In October 2023, Anta Sports Products Limited, a China-based sporting goods manufacturer, acquired a majority stake in Maia Active for an undisclosed sum. This acquisition is aimed at bolstering Anta Sports' presence in the women's athleisure market segment and enhancing the group's brand portfolio, solidifying its position in the market. Maia Active is a China-based female athleisure brand specializing in stylish and functional training wear targeted at the local population.
