Definition:

The Sports & Swimwear market consists of sports-inspired and performance apparel as well as swimwear for women.

The women’s Sports-Inspired Apparel market consists of sportswear products that are no longer only intended for training, instead, they are increasingly being used as everyday clothing. This style is referred to as “athleisure,” a fashion buzzword that combines the two words “athletic” and “leisure.” Outfits that come under this umbrella term can include clothing articles such as yoga pants, hoodies, and sweatpants that have an athletic appearance but have not necessarily been designed for high-intensity activities. With greater choice and availability, sports-inspired clothing is gaining popularity with consumers who seek to integrate sporty designs into their everyday wardrobe, and even though they are often worn during athletic activities, they can also be worn on other occasions, e.g., at work or school. Clothing that has been specially designed for sports purposes is excluded and can be found in the Performance Apparel market.

Women’s performance apparel refers to garments that are designed to fulfill a certain purpose or function, keeping the wearer cool, dry, and/or comfortable during sporting activities and physical exercise. Typical sport-specific products include tracksuits and jogging suits, shorts, as well as training shirts and tops.
