Athletic apparel market

The global sportswear market is a lucrative one, and is forecast to grow even further in the coming years. Nike and adidas are, by some margin, the leading companies in the sportswear industry worldwide. Other big companies that operate in this market include Puma and Under Armour. Not only is Nike one of the most prominent producers within the athletic apparel market worldwide, but the company also holds the honor of being ranked as the world's leading apparel brand in general.

Athletic footwear market

In the United States alone, athletic footwear generates billions of U.S. dollars each year, making it a vital market for the industry. Once again, Nike was the global leader with more revenue from footwear than adidas and Puma combined, showing the company’s dominance in this sector.
