The growing popularity of archery is anticipated to drive the expansion of the archery gear market in the coming years. Archery refers to the sport or skill of shooting arrows with a bow at a target, practiced for recreation, competition, and hunting. The increasing popularity of archery is attributed to the rising participation in recreational sports, as more individuals engage in outdoor and skill-based activities that promote focus, coordination, and mental well-being. Archery gear enhances the overall experience by offering precision, stability, comfort, and safety essential for consistent performance, helping archers refine their technique, improve accuracy, and build confidence in various training and competition settings. For instance, in September 2025, according to World Archery, a Switzerland-based international governing body for the sport of archery, the number of registered archers across national federations reached approximately 514,000 in 2024. Therefore, the rising popularity of archery is fueling the growth of the archery gear market.

Key companies operating in the archery gear market are emphasizing technological advancements such as synchronized cam technology to improve accuracy, stability, and tuning flexibility. Synchronized cams are a dual-cam mechanism in which both cams rotate in perfect harmony, ensuring balanced limb movement and consistent energy transfer for smoother draw cycles and tighter arrow groups. For instance, in October 2023, Bear Archery, a US-based manufacturer of archery equipment, introduced Persist, a compound bow designed around the company’s advanced equalized kinetic orientation (EKO) dual cam system based on synchronized cam technology. The bow delivers a refined draw feel, speeds of up to 340 feet per second (fps), and features vibration-dampening components along with an integrated mounting system for sight or rest accessories, enhancing tuning ease, shot consistency, and overall shooting confidence.

The sudden escalation of U.S. tariffs and the consequent trade frictions in spring 2025 are severely impacting the recreation sector, particularly in the supply of imported sports equipment, outdoor gear, and leisure products. Manufacturers and retailers are facing higher costs for items such as bicycles, camping gear, fitness machines, and gaming consoles, much of which are sourced from overseas with limited domestic alternatives. Small businesses operating in the recreational retail space are especially affected, with some reducing inventory or increasing prices to offset margin pressure. Event organizers and recreational facilities are also facing cost hikes for imported equipment and infrastructure materials. In response, the industry is exploring alternative sourcing from tariff-free regions, increasing reliance on local suppliers, and urging policymakers to consider exemptions for non-essential but widely used recreational products.
