As per Technavio, the growing popularity of marketing strategies such as celebrity endorsements will have a positive impact on the market and contribute to its growth significantly over the forecast period. This research report also analyzes other significant trends and market drivers that will influence market growth over 2020-2024.
Sports Footwear Market: Growing Popularity of Marketing Strategies such as Celebrity Endorsements
The launch of advertising campaigns such as celebrity endorsements is one of the most result-oriented and popular marketing strategies adopted by almost all the key sports gear and equipment manufacturers. The success of celebrity endorsement campaigns is attributable to the fact that the most common buying behavior among customers is the selection of products that are promoted by their favorite athletes. Therefore, key competitors use celebrity endorsements as one of their primary marketing tools. Famous players like Cristiano Ronaldo (football), Lionel Messi (football), Virat Kohli (cricket), Mahendra Singh Dhoni (cricket), Roger Federer (tennis), Rory Mcllroy (golf), Saina Nehwal (badminton), P.V. Sindhu (badminton), Lin Dan (badminton), and others often launch new product lines of international competitors, which aids in increasing their sale revenues.
“Other factors such as the expansion of distribution networks, and the use of environment-friendly materials to manufacture sports gear and equipment will have a significant impact on the growth of the sports footwear market value during the forecast period,” says a senior analyst at Technavio.
