The global swimwear market is growing at 6.3 per cent CAGR from 2021 to 2026, reveals a ResarchandMarkets.com report.,

New trends are pointing to growing demand. Key factors such as design, trend and comfort of the fabric are playing a major role in driving the market. In particular, swimwear manufacturers and designers have focused on the comfort level of swimwear and considered the popularity of value added features, such as trendy prints and convenient cuts. This also points to the growing demand for branded swimwear.

While swimming in the United States has experienced a notable bump in participation each year since 2004, the Asia-Pacific region is expected to experience a higher growth rate than the other regions in the next five years. The Chinese swimwear market is driven by the country’s huge population finding a passion for water sports, as they consider swimming as the best form of physical exercise, which will help drive a healthy demand for swimwear products. Likewise, in Australia, swimming is a very common outdoor activity.

The pandemic forced many swimming pools to close to minimize the spread of the virus. The closure of schools and universities across the world in 2020 also negatively affected sales in the global swimwear market.
