United Kingdom Sportswear Market to Grow with a CAGR of 4.59% through 2030

The United Kingdom Sportswear Market is growing due to rising health consciousness, growing fitness participation, and increasing athleisure adoption.


According to TechSci Research report, “United Kingdom Sportswear Market – By Region, Competition, Forecast & Opportunities, 2030F”, the United Kingdom Sportswear Market stood at USD 6.54 Billion in 2024 and is anticipated to grow USD 8.56 Billion by 2030 with a CAGR of 4.59% during forecast period. The United Kingdom sportswear market is experiencing robust growth, driven by a dynamic combination of health trends, fashion evolution, and consumer lifestyle shifts. Over the past few years, sportswear has transitioned from being purely functional attire to a symbol of everyday comfort and fashion. This transformation has expanded the consumer base significantly, with people now wearing sportswear for not just athletic activities but also for casual outings, work-from-home routines, and travel. As a result, sportswear has become an integral part of daily life in the UK, reflecting changing attitudes toward health, fitness, and fashion.

UK consumers have become more aware of the importance of maintaining an active lifestyle, especially in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. Participation in activities such as gym workouts, running, yoga, and home-based exercise has grown significantly, leading to a higher demand for performance-based sportswear. This shift has encouraged brands to develop apparel that supports movement, enhances performance, and provides comfort across various intensity levels. Moreover, the rise of wearable fitness technology has further integrated sportswear into everyday routines, reinforcing its role as both a functional and fashionable category.

Parallel to the health trend is the explosive growth of athleisure, which has significantly blurred the line between sportswear and casualwear. Athleisure refers to apparel that can be worn in multiple settings — from workouts to social events — and has become a dominant fashion trend across the UK. Consumers now expect their clothing to be multi-purpose, leading to increased demand for leggings, joggers, hoodies, and performance tops that are stylish yet practical. Social media and influencer marketing have played a central role in popularizing athleisure, especially among younger demographics. Celebrities and fitness influencers often promote branded activewear as both aspirational and accessible, pushing brands to release limited editions, designer collaborations, and lifestyle-focused collections that resonate with trend-conscious audiences.
