A Look into Surfing Equipment Industry……Deep Analysis…..
The global surfing
equipment market size is expected
to reach USD 3.9 billion by 2025,
according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc., registering a CAGR of
3.3% over the forecast period. Market expansion is steered by growing interest
in surfing among adventure enthusiasts, especially millennials. Appropriate
equipment and gear is very crucial for surfing and choice of surfboards depend
upon the type of wave: beach breaks, reef breaks, rivermouth waves, point
breaks, etc.
Based on equipment, surfboards held
the dominant share in 2018, with short boards accounting for more than 60.0% of
the revenue share. Availability of customized boards based on the needs and
preferences of surfers works in favor of this segment. The apparel &
accessories segment, on the other hand, will exhibit the fastest growth over
the forecast period. Offline distribution channels have been more popular among
surfers, with most surfing destinations sporting temporary stalls and stores.
Nevertheless, online channels are gaining prominence with a thriving e-commerce
sector. This segment is likely to exhibit strong growth through 2025.
In April 2019, Naish launched a
handheld inflatable wing that surfers can use to ride a wave. Called
Wing-Surfer, the untethered equipment is a cross between a kiteboarding kite
and a windsurfing sail and can be used on any stand-up paddleboard or foil
board. It harnesses the power of the wind to help the surfer cruise over the
waters. In February 2019, Plurato Sailfin developed the first Croatian electric
hydrofoil surfboard. The 210 cm*74 cm board can gain a speed of 32 km/hour. Its
4-kilo Watt battery uses propeller propulsion system and can last for anything
between 45 and 60 minutes. The surfboard can be used on rivers and lakes too.
The hydrofoil technology keeps the board above water level, thereby resulting
in less resistance and enabling greater speed.
Key players in the surfing equipment market
include Billabong; Quiksilver, Inc.; Nike, Inc.; JS Industries; CHANNEL ISLANDS
SURFBOARDS; Firewire Surfboards, LLC; Shop Rusty Surfboards; Rip Curl
International Pty Ltd; CANNIBAL SURFBOARDS; and O'Neill. In August 2019, Sea of Seven collaborated with
surfboard-shaper Xanadu Surf Designs to develop innovative surfboards, which
could prove to be revolutionary in the industry. Industry participants are
expected to utilize online portals as a key selling platform, which will
increase the visibility of the surfing equipment, irrespective of geographical
boundaries.

The
global surfing equipment market size was valued at USD 3.1 billion in 2018 and
will register a CAGR of 3.3% over the forecast period. Market growth is
attributed to increasing popularity of water sports and adventure sports on a
global level. Rising interest in surfing among adventure enthusiasts,
especially millennials, has been a crucial factor driving the demand for and
sales of surfing equipment, such as surfboards, gear, apparel, and accessories.
The sport is increasingly popular in countries with long coastlines, such as
Australia, New Zealand, parts of U.S. and Canada, Portugal, Indonesia, and Sri
Lanka.
In
many countries, surfing is more of a leisure activity, where being out in the
open and enjoying the natural environment acts as a stress buster. However,
there are various health benefits of the sport too: paddling in the waves
improves cardiovascular fitness and also increases shoulder and back muscle
strength, the push-up from being flat on the stomach to squatting before
standing strengthens chest and arm muscles, and standing up on the board amidst
the waves helps improve leg and core strength. Overall, it is an excellent test
of endurance, balance, co-ordination, and fitness. Moreover, it has been known
that surfing for 30-60 minutes can help burn 130-260 calories.
Emergence
of surfing as a professional sport has also greatly benefited the market for
various kinds of surfing gear, apparel, and accessories. The World Surf League
(WSL) showcases some of the best professional surfers, both men and women, in
numerous competitive formats. The Championship Tours, the Big Wave Tour, the
Masters Championship, and the Longboard Championship are some of the well-known
events coordinated by the WSL. In 2018, the WSL became one of the very few
U.S.-based sports to mandate equal pay for men and women. The move has had a
significant impact in encouraging interest and participation in the sport.
