Decathlon España SAU was the leading retail company of sports equipment in Spain in 2020. Without question, the Spanish subsidiary of Decathlon captured the sporting goods market when it achieved a sales value of over 1.5 billion euros that year. Sprinter Megacentros del Deporte SL trailed far behind with approximately 400 million euros in revenue, and in third place was Decimas SLU.
Decathlon, the king of sporting goods retail
Although Decathlon was the third leading global sporting goods company based on revenue right after Nike and Adidas, the legends in the industry, the French retailer did not succeed in some countries it entered. But in Spain, Decathlon is well positioned as the leading sporting goods retailer.
Decathlon started its journey in Spain in 1992, the year Barcelona hosted the Olympic Games, and opened its first store in Badalona. Now, Spain is the third-largest market for the sporting equipment retailer, only behind France and China, and Decathlon revenue in Spain has reached its second-highest figure since 2013.
In terms of sports brands, Adidas dominates the Spanish sporting equipment market. The German brand had a sales value of more than 474 million euros in 2019, which was higher than that of Puma and Nike's Spanish subsidiary, American Nike.
