Increasing Number of E-Commerce Platforms
The growing e-commerce penetration is significantly fueling the India activewear market growth by providing accessibility and convenience to customers. Online platforms offer a vast range of activewear brands, styles, and price points for shoppers. Discounts, cashback offers, and easy return policies make online shopping more attractive for fitness-conscious buyers. E-commerce enables direct-to-consumer (D2C) brands to reach customers without requiring physical retail stores or distributors. Mobile shopping apps provide seamless browsing experiences, helping shoppers explore and purchase activewear effortlessly. According to data published by the IBEF, India’s e-commerce industry is expected to reach US$ 325 billion by 2030, highlighting its rapid expansion. This growth is fueling the activewear market, as artificial intelligence (AI)-driven recommendations personalize shopping experiences based on browsing history and preferences. Social commerce integration allows customers to buy activewear directly from influencers’ posts and brand collaborations. Faster delivery options including same-day and next-day services, encourage individuals to prefer online purchases over offline stores.
Rising Influence of Social Media and Celebrities
Social media and celebrities are significantly influencing India activewear market outlook by shaping customer preferences. Fitness influencers and Bollywood celebrities are promoting activewear brands through sponsored posts and workout videos. Their large follower base creates brand awareness, making buyers more likely to purchase endorsed products. Engaging content like fitness challenges, workout routines, and styling tips encourages users to adopt activewear. Social media platforms enable brands to interact directly with fitness enthusiasts, offering personalized recommendations and exclusive deals. The aspirational appeal of celebrities wearing premium activewear brands drives demand for stylish and high-performance clothing. In July 2024, cricketer Hardik Pandya collaborated with FanCode Shop to launch his own activewear brand. This collaboration marks FanCode Shop’s first venture with an athlete, highlighting the growing influence of celebrity-driven activewear. Pandya aims to create a brand that reflects his personal journey and connects with the youth. The exclusive activewear range is available only on FanCode Shop, leveraging the power of e-commerce and social media marketing. Influencer collaborations with activewear brands result in limited-edition collections, attracting fitness-conscious customers. User-generated content such as reviews and outfit posts, further catalyzes credibility and market penetration. Platforms like Instagram and YouTube serve as major advertising channels, reaching diverse customer segments effectively. Live sessions and Q&A interactions allow brands to educate customers about fabric technology and product benefits, strengthening customer engagement and loyalty.
