Integration of Smart Technology in Fitness and Outdoor Gear
The integration of smart features into sports and leisure equipment is gaining traction in Spain. Wearables with GPS, heart rate monitoring, and real-time performance tracking are seeing higher adoption, especially among runners, cyclists, and gym users. Equipment such as smart tennis rackets and AI-assisted training machines is entering the market through global and domestic players. These innovations are aligning with Spain’s tech-savvy younger demographic, which values data-driven performance improvements. Companies are capitalizing on this by offering app-integrated gear and bundling equipment with subscription-based digital fitness services. This convergence of hardware and software is not limited to urban centers but also spreading across tourist-heavy coastal regions where adventure sports are prevalent, further expanding the scope for digitally enhanced gear. For instance, in October 2024, Eversports, a Vienna-based sports booking software platform, partnered with European growth investor Verdane to scale operations globally, with Spain as one of its key markets. Eversports currently enables 1.5 million monthly bookings and supports over 4,000 sports providers, including venues and studios for tennis, yoga, fitness, and more. Its software, Eversports Manager, helps operators manage classes, bookings, payments, and marketing. The platform already serves users in Spain, among other European markets. Verdane brings €7.7 billion in assets and a strong track record in scaling tech-enabled companies. The deal supports Eversports’ ambition to become a global leader in sports and wellbeing software.
Shift Towards Eco-Friendly and Sustainable Equipment
Sustainability is becoming a defining purchase criterion in Spain’s sports and leisure equipment sector. Consumers are increasingly demanding products made with recycled, biodegradable, or ethically sourced materials. Spanish and European brands are responding by redesigning their supply chains to lower carbon footprints and meet environmental certifications. This includes eco-conscious surfboards, recyclable yoga mats, and biodegradable footwear for trail running. Public campaigns around climate responsibility and the circular economy are reinforcing this behavior, especially among younger buyers and institutional purchasers such as schools and sports clubs. Moreover, government incentives for sustainable manufacturing practices are encouraging local startups to innovate in this segment, contributing to a broader ecosystem focused on green product development and responsible consumption. For instance, in October 2024, GXO Logistics entered a strategic partnership with Forum Sport to manage two logistics centers in Vitoria and Basauri, totaling nearly 20,000 square meters. The collaboration aims to optimize Forum Sport’s B2B and B2C logistics operations using GXO’s advanced automation technologies, including Automated Storage and Retrieval Systems (ASRS). This alliance strengthens GXO’s presence in northern Spain and supports Forum Sport’s goal of enhancing supply chain efficiency, customer satisfaction, and sustainability.
