Athletic & Sporting Goods Manufacturing in Canada Industry Data and Analysis
Producers of athletic and sporting goods have faced significant revenue volatility in recent years. Shifts in consumer behaviour increasingly prioritizing well-being and health care have made athletic and sporting goods more attractive to buyers. In recent years, manufacturers have struggled with significant supply chain disruptions, contributing to significant input price volatility (mainly impacting crude oil, rubber and textiles), pushing operating costs higher and harming domestic sales. Volatile operating costs have also directly impacted profit, but growing sales have made producers more lucrative. Improving macroeconomic conditions, including rising disposable income and cooling inflation, have supported revenue gains in recent years, but these have been unable to make up for revenue losses in 2020 and 2021, when the pandemic tampered with physical activity amid stay-at-home orders and social distancing requirements. These trends have resulted in revenue weakening at an estimated CAGR of 3.4% to $1.1 billion through 2025, including a 2.3% gain that year alone.
