Running gear refers to various accessories and wearable products worn by individuals while running or performing sports-related activities. The commonly used products include running shoes, jackets, belts, tights and sunglasses. They are manufactured from water- and scratch-resistant materials to prevent injuries and improve air circulation for enhanced comfort. They also offer a protective layer to the wearer to avoid chafing of the skin during physical activity. Numerous wearable devices, such as smartwatches and smart patches, are also used by runners and athletes to track their fitness progress and vital signs periodically.
Increasing health consciousness and the widespread adoption of running as an effective form of exercise in India are among the key factors driving the market growth. Hectic schedules and rising health concerns are compelling individuals to engage in regular physical activity, thereby increasing the demand for running gear. Additionally, various product innovations, such as the development of aesthetically appealing designs with high-quality fibers, are acting as other growth-inducing factors. In line with this, the proliferation of social media platforms and e-commerce retails channels are also contributing to the market growth. Product manufacturers are collaborating with celebrities and sports personalities and offering services, such as faster delivery, discounts and cashback, to attract a broader consumer base. Other factors, such as rising disposable income levels and increasing consumer expenditure capacities, are driving the market further.
