According to Fact.MR, the Ice Hockey Apparel market experienced growth of 2.5% CAGR in the historical period 2018-2022. The spread of coronavirus crippled the entire world. Nearly all countries imposed lockdowns and strict social distancing measures. This has resulted in the disruption of supply chains across geographies. These factors have significantly impacted the demand for Ice Hockey Apparel, at least in the short term.

However, in the long term, the impact on the Ice Hockey Apparel market is expected to continue its upward trajectory over the coming years. As the popularity of ice hockey gains traction in the global sports industry, companies manufacturing sporting goods & accessories are becoming more focused upon producing the apparels for the sport.

New designs for manufacturing ice hockey apparels are being introduced by companies. Several market players are adopting advanced materials to enhance the feel and comfort levels of ice hockey apparel and allow the users an ease of mobility.

Moreover, companies producing ice hockey apparels are consistently following the guidelines set by international sports industry regulatory bodies with respect to the use of protective apparel in ice hockey. Apparels with improved functions are being developed at high costs, creating a trend of premiumization in the global ice hockey apparel landscape. Thus, with growing modernisation and rising investments in sports across regions, the market is forecast to expand at a mammoth CAGR of 4% by value in the forecast period 2023-2033.

Which are Some Prominent Drivers of the Ice Hockey Apparel Market?

Growing Popularity and Development of Ice Hockey as a Sport to Boost the Market Growth

The noticeable increase in ice hockey players as a result of the sport's rising popularity has significantly boosted sales of the ice hockey equipment in these regions. In the 2021/22 season, the United States had the most registered ice hockey players out of any country worldwide. According to the International Ice Hockey Federation, there were just over 551 thousand registered ice hockey players in the United States.

Another element that contributes to the target product market's good growth trajectory is the prevalence and expansion of women's ice hockey on a global scale. Furthermore, the government's supportive actions to promote ice hockey in an effort to spur interest and involvement in sports will help the target product's market growth.

The Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC), for instance, has committed up to US$ 2 Million support to the national expansion of Western University's Hockey Fans in Training (Hockey FIT) program. By incorporating participants' adoration of hockey into the campaign, this program hopes to inspire Canadian adult males to eat better meals and be more active.
