Increasing adoption of sports and other recreational activities, such as gym and athletics, is driving the industry. The market is majorly driven by the increasing participation in sports activities, such as athletics and table tennis. Rising awareness regarding general health and fitness is one of the primary growth stimulants for the market.
Rising inclination toward indoor activities, increase in the use of smartphones among the young generation due to rise in the internet penetration, and playing videogames may adversely hamper the market growth. Moreover, increasing leisure activities such as watching movies, virtual reality gaming, and live music shows may restrain the market growth.
