SPORTING GOODS

Although the COVID-19 pandemic continues to affect business around the world, the sporting-goods industry has managed to return to pre-COVID-19 levels of growth amid tough economic circumstances. During 2020, executives in the sporting-goods industry focused on three key trends: consumer shifts, the digital leap, and industry disruptions. In 2021, these trends continued, in some cases accelerated, or took interesting new turns. With many people still working from home, athleisure has gained further ground, reflecting new attitudes toward traditional workwear. Increased health awareness has given many people a new perspective on sports and general fitness. E-commerce has thrived, as consumers continue to shop online, even as lockdown measures have eased. Digital forms of individual or community-based exercise and physical activity have become more popular and have created new possibilities for sporting-goods companies. Meanwhile, sustainability is more important than ever, with the COP26 Climate Change Conference emphasizing the need for companies to increase their efforts to decarbonize as they seek to differentiate their offerings.
At the beginning of the pandemic, sporting-goods companies, with a few exceptions, saw a significant dip in sales, as well as narrower margins. These shifts led to a bifurcation in performance (Exhibit 1).
Prior to the pandemic, the majority of listed players posted growth in earnings before interest and taxes of 8 to 15 percent, as well as 5 to 10 percent growth in annual sales. In 2020, a few specialized players were able to pull clear, with margins and sales growth soaring to higher than 15 percent. Still, most sporting-goods companies continued to deliver above-average economic profits.1S&P Capital IQ. In 2021, the sporting-goods industry experienced a broad recovery. On a global level, the sportswear market in 2021 almost entirely recovered to pre-COVID-19 sales, fueled by consumers in China (23 percent growth compared with 2020) and the United States (15 percent). Overall, 14 percent year-on-year growth in 2021 will be more than double the average annual growth rate (CAGR) between 2015 and 2019 (5 percent).2Euromonitor International.
The shifting trends that the sporting-goods industry experienced in 2021 are likely to become even more established in 2022, with uncertainty becoming the new reality. In this challenging environment, risks and opportunities abound. The most successful players will likely be those that can adapt flexibly and align boldly with the new trends as they emerge.
