Athletic & Sporting Goods Manufacturing in Canada - Industry Market Research Report

Going for gold: Industry imports will continue growing, increasing competition for operators

The abundance of low-cost sporting goods from global manufacturers has contributed to the recent decline in revenue for sporting goods manufacturers. More retailers have stocked low-cost sporting goods from overseas manufacturers to appeal to budget-conscious consumers. The industry is highly fragmented, with many manufacturers specializing in a particular sporting activity. A favourable shift in consumer attitudes toward health and athletics has lessened the slump in revenue. Revenue for sporting goods manufacturers is expected to drop at a CAGR of 7.1% to $1.2 billion through the end of 2028, despite growth of 3.2% in 2023 when profit will reach 2.2% of revenue.
