The global children’s jerseys, sweatshirts, and pullovers market size was valued at USD 23.87 billion in 2020 and is expected to expand at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.2% from 2021 to 2028. Advancements in synthetic fibers and supply chain management are anticipated to boost the growth of the global market. Increasing research activities and the growing adoption of synthetic fibers will support the industry growth. For instance, dry CELL technology fabric keeps moisture away from the skin. The rising popularity of character prints such as Star Wars, Dalmatians, Haribo, and other animals is likely to further boost the product demand in the global market.
Manufacturing apparel such as sweatshirts, jerseys, and pullovers requires various processes, including dyeing, printing, and washing. These processes consume harsh chemicals and a large amount of water that eventually cause environmental pollution. The devastating impact on the environment and rising awareness regarding it are expected to restrain further the market growth.
The Covid-19 pandemic impacted the market for children’s jerseys, sweatshirts, and pullovers, dropping the total sales of the product. Due to the Covid-19 restrictions, market activities across the supply chain were affected, halting manufacturing, trading, and sales. However, the growth of the market is expected to recover with the resumed trade and business activities and relaxed restrictions.
The offline distribution segment dominated the global market by accounting for over 70.0% share in 2020. Offline distribution channel consists of wholesalers, superstores, departmental stores, hypermarkets, etc. These types of offline distribution channels are well-established, deep-rooted, and highly preferred by manufacturers as well as consumers, especially the older demographic.
The services offered by the offline distribution channels are highly customer-oriented and are perceived as more trustworthy by the customers. Moreover, with the growing industrialization and urbanization in developing nations, the footprint of offline channels is expanding, further fueling the growth of the segment.
The online segment is anticipated to register the fastest CAGR of 4.6% from 2021 to 2028. The segment is chiefly driven by the increasing demand from the younger generation due to convenience and ease. Moreover, the emergence, expansion, and penetration of online retailers in new geographies and demographics are anticipated to propel the segment growth. Penetration of internet services and the rising affordability of smartphones are likely to surge the usage of online distribution channels.
Sweatshirts held the largest revenue share of more than 35.0% in 2020. Sweatshirts are simple, comfortable, and made of fleece from the inside, which provides extra warmth and absorbs sweat. Sweatshirts have become a basic and essential wardrobe item. Rising consumer preference for comfort and convenience, along with the use of sweatshirts as a style and fashion statement, is contributing to the segment growth.
The jerseys segment is anticipated to expand at the highest CAGR of 4.8% from 2021 to 2028. Demand for jerseys in the global market is credited to the rising popularity among sports personnel and increasing participation in sports activities.

Moreover, the products are developed with materials that enhance the experience with their maximum moisture-wicking ability, thus boosting the industry demand.
Europe held the largest revenue share of over 30.0% in 2020. The region has a strong presence of key players in the market.
