NEW YORK, July 22, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Reportlinker.com announces that a new market research report is available in its catalogue:
Protective Sports Equipment: The North American Market
http://www.reportlinker.com/p01556798/Protective-Sports-Equipment-The-North-American-Market.html#utm_source=prnewswire&utm_medium=pr&utm_campaign=Sporting_Goods
Highlights
The U.S. market for sports protective equipment was worth $1.8 billion in 2012. The market is projected to increase to nearly $1.9 billion in 2013 and $2.1 billion in 2018, a CAGR of 2.6% between 2013 and 2018. Cycling is the largest segment of the protective sports equipment market in the U.S., with the expected sales of $729.8 million in 2013. In the longer term (i.e., through 2018), this market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 1.5%, reaching $786.2 million by 2018. Football is one of the fastest-growing segments, with a projected CAGR of 8% between 2013 and 2018, reaching $344.8 million in 2013 and $505.7 million by 2018.
STUDY BACKGROUND
In a widely publicized 2013 interview, President Obama said that "if I had a son, I'd have to think long and hard before I let him play football," due to the risk of long-term brain damage many football players suffer as a result of repeated head trauma and concussions. In making this statement, the president was only confirming what many players and families of players already know. The number of boys playing youth and high school football has declined significantly over the last few years, to the point where college and professional teams have expressed concerns over a shrinking pool of young talent in the game. The National Football League currently is being sued by over 4,000 of its former players on the grounds that it did not do enough to inform them about the dangers of concussion and is not doing enough to take care of players who were injured. The cases, which are still in the early stages of being heard, could result in potentially large damages if the courts find in the plaintiffs' favor. Obama's remarks were not the first time that a president had expressed concerns about the danger of football. As long ago as 1905, Teddy Roosevelt convened a meeting of the most influential figures in football to reduce the level of violence. Roosevelt's meeting resulted in significant rule changes in the game, such as the outlawing of rugby-style mass formations and gang tackling, increasing the distance required for a first down from five yards to ten yards to encourage plays that did not go through the center of the line, and the introduction of the forward pass. The introduction of new rules to reduce the likelihood of injury has represented on element of a two-pronged strategy for reducing serious head injuries in football; the other prong has been the introduction of new types of football helmets that do a better job of protecting the player. The attempt to design a better football helmet goes back at least as far as World War I, when the first full skull protection football helmets were introduced to replace the soft leather "head harnesses" that many players then wore. While the risks of playing football are more widely known than those of most other sports due to the game's popularity and its players' visibility, other sports must contend with safety risks of their own.
GOALS AND OBJECTIVES
The overall goal of this study is to identify and quantify the market for protective sports equipment. Specific objectives include the following: Identifying current and emerging technologies for protecting participants in various sports against traumatic or repeated-use injuries. Analyzing and predicting trends in user markets for each of these technologies, as the basis for developing baseline estimates of the sports market for protective sports equipment. Identifying and quantifying the key demand drivers in each of these markets and their projected market impacts. Drawing attention to manufacturers of sports protection equipment that are most likely to benefit from the trends identified above.
INTENDED AUDIENCE
The report is directed to the various companies interested in protective sports equipment, including: Companies involved in developing, manufacturing and supplying protective sports equipment. Manufacturers, suppliers and users of the materials used in protective sports equipment. Companies interested in participating in the development, manufacture, supply and/or use of protective sports equipment. Organizations that purchase/use protective sports equipment. This report is intended especially for developers and vendors of protective sports equipment and materials used in the fabrication of such equipment and others with an interest in understanding where the market is headed with respect to sports protective technologies, including: Members of industry and technical organizations such as the Sports and Fitness Industry Association (SFIA) and ASTM (formerly the American Society for Testing and Materials). Officials of sports organizations. Government regulatory authorities. The general sports and technology interest communities, including journalists.
SCOPE AND FORMAT
This report focuses on protective equipment worn in nonmotor sports, including: Football. Baseball. Ice hockey. Cycling. Inline skating/skateboarding. Lacrosse. Wrestling. Skiing/snowboarding. Soccer. Equestrian sports. Fencing. Climbing. Water polo. Boxing. The emphasis is on commercially available equipment that is designed to prevent injury, rather than to protect injured tissue and promote healing once injury has occurred. The report also does not cover devices whose main purpose is enhancing performance and/or comfort, although they may also protect against injury. Athletic footwear is not included, because of the difficulty of distinguishing between sales of shoes to serious athletes, to whom their protective value is significant, and more casual wearers who wear them primarily for comfort and/or style. A similar rationale applies to cold weather clothing, such as ski parkas. The report format includes the following major elements: Executive summary. Definitions. Regulation. Technologies (basic principles, materials, specific applications, major patents). Major end-user markets, 2012. Market drivers. Projected sales, 2013 to 2018. Manufacturer profiles.
METHODOLOGY
The findings and conclusions of this report are based on both primary and secondary research methodologies. Market information was gathered from sports products manufacturers, materials and devices vendors, and sports-related organizations. Interview data were combined with information gathered through an extensive review of secondary sources such as trade publications, trade associations, company literature and on-line databases to produce the baseline market estimates contained in this report. The base-year for analysis and projection is 2012. With 2012 as a baseline, market projections were developed for 2013 to 2018. These projections are based on a combination of a consensus among the primary contacts combined with BCC's understanding of the key market drivers and their impact from a historical and analytical perspective. The analytical methodologies used to generate the market estimates are described in detail in the section on the U.S. market for sports protective equipment. All market projections presented in this report are in 2012 constant dollars at the retail level, unless otherwise noted.
