Running gear refers to accessories and devices worn by individuals while running or performing sports-related activities. They include athletic wear products, such as running shoes, jackets, belts, socks and gloves. These products consist of a protective layer to prevent injuries and provide adequate air circulation to the wearer during running or fitness training. The products, such as gloves and jackets, are skin fit and fabricated by water-resistant and scratch-resistant materials to minimize skin chafing and penetration of rain and wind. Athletes and runners also use wearable devices, such as smartwatches and heart rate monitors, for tracking and monitoring their progress.

The widespread acceptance of running as an effective form of physical exercise in maintaining a healthy lifestyle is one of the key factors driving the market growth. With the sedentary lifestyles and hectic schedules, individuals are increasingly adopting running and other high-intensity activities, thereby enhancing the demand for various running gear products. Furthermore, various product innovations, such as the development of high-quality fabrics with aesthetically appealing designs, are providing a boost to the market growth. Other factors, including increasing product premiumization and aggressive promotional activities by the product manufacturers through social media platforms, are anticipated to drive the market further.
