The market for sports fabric is a key segment within the broader textile industry, driven by the growing demand for high-performance sportswear globally.
In 2023, the global sports fabric market size reached approximately USD 6.5 billion. This market is projected to grow at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 4.8% from 2024 to 2032, reaching around USD 9.8 billion by the end of the forecast period. The key growth drivers for this market include the increasing participation in sports and fitness activities, rising health awareness among consumers, technological advancements in fabric manufacturing, and the growing trend of athleisure wear.
One of the prominent trends in the sports fabric market is the adoption of sustainable and eco-friendly materials.

Another significant trend is the integration of smart textiles in sports fabric. Smart textiles incorporate technology to offer additional functionalities such as moisture management, temperature regulation, and biometric tracking.
