Thanks to growing awareness of good health, and multiuse, the global yoga apparel market is projected to increase at a 7.98 per cent CAGR from its current value of US $19.2 billion to US $30.2 billion by 2028.
Claiming so, a report of HTF Market Intelligence says that although Yoga apparel is primarily intended to be worn while practising yoga, it has recently become popular in other sports and casual wear.
Yoga apparel like pants and T-shirts come in a wide range of lengths and styles, such as long, short, high-waisted, fleece active, straight-legged and fold-over. Thin elastic materials like spandex and lycra with lightweight fabrics like cotton or nylon are the main raw material for Yoga apparel.
LuluLemon, Alo Yoga, Body Angel Activewear, CARBON38, FLOAT Ultralight, Nike Dri, Vuori, Old Navy, Athleta and Manduka’s are some of the leading players in this market.
The report also highlights that the growth of musculoskeletal illnesses attributed to yoga gear is one of the main issues in the yoga apparel market.
A US study found that males who dress tightly have a higher risk of having musculoskeletal problems because doing so leads to abnormal pelvic and lumbar spine posture and movement.
