Even before the Covid-19, the global market for sports and sports-inspired clothing was growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.6 percent. During the pandemic, it just took off and, while people may talk about a return to dressing up when everything gets back to normal, we don’t believe it!

Future growth is guaranteed because:

1. Technological improvements in fibres, fabrics and manufacturing continue to make products better performing and more protective.

2. The current fixation with health and outdoor socializing has made athleisure the go-to apparel sector.

3. Formal dressing is in permanent decline. The future is hybrid dressing with comfort the driving factor.
