SNOWBOARD EQUIPMENT MARKET REPORT OVERVIEW

The global snowboard equipment market size was valued at USD 0.3 billion in 2023 and is projected to touch USD 0.42 billion by 2032, at a CAGR of 3.8% during the forecast period.

The snowy season has a big impact on snowboard gear. Due to growing snowboard infrastructure, increased boot usage, and growing number of programs to increase snowboarding participation, it is projected that demand for snowboards will increase. There are more individuals who snowboard for fun than there are snowboarders who compete professionally. One of the main drivers driving the sales of snowboard equipment globally is the rising rate of involvement in outdoor activities like snowboarding and other snow sports, rising government measures to encourage participation, and rise in the number of snowboard resorts.

People's awareness of the usage of helmets and other equipment is predicted to continue growing as a result of growing worries about the injuries brought on by the activity, which is anticipated to fuel market growth during the forecast period. In the near future, it is projected that these infrastructural trends for snow sports will expand the range of equipment & gear offerings. Due to the increase in female participation in snow sports and other activities in recent years, suppliers are increasingly offering clothing and equipment designed exclusively for women.

COVID-19 Impact: Decline in Travel and Tourism Affected Market Dynamics

The global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with snowboard equipment experiencing higher-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels. The spike in CAGR is attributable to the snowboard equipment market growth and demand returning to pre-pandemic levels once the pandemic is over.

Due to a lack of site access, a disrupted supply chain, and a labor scarcity brought on by COVID-19, makers of snowboard equipment have been forced to stop manufacturing, order delivery, and operations. Following COVID-19, there is a greater awareness of consumption and expenditure worldwide as individuals aim to save more money and refrain from spending money on leisure activities. Travel restrictions put in place by governments throughout the world to combat COVID-19 have also put an end to all winter adventure and leisure activities, which has had a big impact on the market for snowboard equipment.
