The football equipment market - France

Soccer equipment refers to all the items and clothing worn by soccer players during matches and training sessions, whether at professional or amateur level . This equipment is designed to offer protection and comfort to players, while allowing them to move freely on the pitch. Here are just a few of the key items that make up soccer equipment: soccer boots, soccer socks, soccer shorts, soccer shirts, shin guards, goalkeeper gloves and compression garments. We can also mention all the objects and tools used for training: flags for corners, cages, training studs, etc. Soccer remains France's favorite and most practiced sport, but alsothe most polarizing: many French people have a negative image of soccer, not least because of the increasingly high stakes involved, making the sporta real social issue. Worldwide, the CAGR for soccer equipment is estimated at 5.3% between 2020 and 2027. France, with almost 2.2 million soccer licensees and the fact that the French spend over €200 a year on sports equipment, has a sizeable market. Four brands -Nike, Adidas, Puma and Kappa - share a large part of the market for equipment aimed at both professional and amateur players, while some companies, such as Décathlon, focus exclusively on private individuals with their own brands at very affordable prices.
