Sustainable athleisure is a type of hybrid clothing made from environmentally sustainable materials and methods. Chemical-free and environmentally sustainable manufacturing processes are maintained to use natural fabrics like hemp, bamboo, merino wool, cotton, and recycled synthetics. These are used to make ready-to-wear clothing, fleeces, t-shirts, hoodies, socks, shorts, wet suits, fashion pants, leggings, sweaters, shoes, outerwear, rash guards, and accessories. For extra comfort, these may be worn for physical activities such as swimming, workout, and athletics, as well as at the office and other informal events. They also have better breathability, quick-drying properties, and are static, thermal, and chemical resistant.
One of the main reasons behind the market's positive outlook is a significant development in the fashion and apparel sectors around the world. In addition, rising customer interest in sports and recreational activities is fueling business expansion. Furthermore, comfortable casual clothing, such as sweatpants, is becoming more acceptable in the workplace. Employees are now encouraged to use athleisure products because of the growing number of recreational centers and health clubs in the office. Consumers are embracing highly functional and sustainable clothing as a result of growing health consciousness and a desire for personal grooming among the people, especially young people. As a result, the market for casual and semi-formal clothing has risen in tandem with increasing workforce engagement and the introduction of work-from-home setup. Other growth-inducing variables include innovative products such as the introduction of activewear made from recycled materials such as neoprene, nylon, spandex, polypropylene, polyester, and rayon. Manufacturing companies are releasing new goods that are made of durable and high-quality materials that can be used for a variety of activities such as snowboarding, mountain climbing, yoga, skiing, sailing, running, cycling, and other sports. 3D virtualization and body scanner techniques are now being used by product makers to precisely gauge the correct body fabric, fit, and type as per the customer's requirements. Other factors, such as fast urbanization and increasing consumer spending power, are expected to propel the market even further. The global sustainable athleisure market is expected to expand moderately over the next 5 years (2021 to 2026), according to IMARC Group.
In 2020, the mass segment dominated the market, accounting for the majority of worldwide revenue. Because of various product launches by domestic and international players, the mass market for athleisure wear is steadily expanding. The segment's growth will be aided by moderate prices for athleisure wear and millennials' proclivity for sustainability. Consumers prefer clothing that is both comfortable and trendy, and athleisure wear meets these requirements.
During the forecast period, the premium segment is expected to grow at the highest CAGR. Customers' increasing awareness of sustainable and environmentally friendly fashion has forced suppliers to develop new products and devote more resources to research and development. The market for premium sustainable athleisure is being driven by this trend, which is being fuelled by rising living standards and customers' desire to spend more on moral and clean fashion.
In 2020, the shirt segment dominated the market, accounting for the majority of worldwide revenue. Sustainable athleisure shirts are in high demand because they combine comfort and fashion. Top companies in the segment have been launching new products, which has contributed to the segment's growth. During the forecast period, the yoga pant segment is projected to grow at the fastest rate. Since more than a decade, the presence of the top players in the local and international space have had a massive impact on the segment. In recent times, women's involvement in sports and outdoor events has grown. Players have been searching for ways to cater to this expanding customer base, which augurs well for the segment's future growth.
In 2020, the men's segment dominated the market, accounting for the majority of worldwide revenue. This segment has been driven by men's greater interest in outdoor sports activities and their subsequent demand for comfortable clothing. Athleisure has become more of a lifestyle in recent times, with shoppers preferring athleisure clothing because of the increased performance and versatility it provides.
During the forecast period, the women's segment is projected to grow at the fastest rate. This segment has been driven by the surge of regional and domestic brands entirely devoted to women's sustainable apparel. Additionally, the segment's growth has been fueled by supplier initiatives like new product launches, alliances, and expansions into emerging businesses, as well as advancements in sustainable athleisure wear.
In 2020, the offline distribution channel dominated the market, accounting for the majority of worldwide revenue. Consumers tend to buy sustainable athleisure wear from brick-and-mortar stores because they have a wider selection of patterns, sizes, colors, designs, and materials. This is the most critical aspect of the segment's expansion.
Due to the growing reliance of gen Z, millennials, and gen X on the internet, online distribution channels for the sale of sustainable athleisure are projected to increase at the fastest rate from 2021 to 2026. The expanding online availability of athleisure wear, which incorporates comfort and style and can help customers make a fashion statement, is also contributing to the segment's development.
North America is the most important market for sustainable athleisure in 2020, accounts for more than half of sales. The United States is one of the most important nations in North America whenever it comes to investments in sustainable textile and ethical clothing materials, as well as recycled materials produced using low-impact techniques such as organic cotton. During the forecast period, such factors are predicted to have a significant impact on the North American market. The growing demand for trendy and comfortable sportswear, as well as the growing number of fitness and outdoor activities in the region, such as sports exhibitions and camping, are driving the market segment. Furthermore, from 2021-2026 the rising popularity of trendy and comfortable clothing, such as puffer vests, is anticipated to drive the market.
During the forecast period, Asia Pacific is anticipated to be the fastest-growing regional market. Flourishing textile markets in nations like Indonesia, Vietnam, India, Japan, China, and Bangladesh have led to an abundance of fabrics and textiles for athleisure wear, which has boosted the region's adoption of the trend. Owing to increasing urbanization, higher living standards, and an increasing number of sports tournaments, the Asia Pacific market is expected to develop at a substantial rate during the projected timeframe. In emerging economies like Australia, South Korea, Chinese Taipei, China, Kyrgyzstan, Japan, and other Southeast Asian countries, activities like running, swimming, cycling, and sporting premier leagues are raising awareness about the use of sustainable athleisure. These factors are expected to drive up the market for sustainable athleisure in the Asia Pacific.
