The sportswear market is expected to reach $635 billion by 2028.
According to very comprehensive analysis on a global scale, an increasing number of individuals are adopting health-oriented lifestyles. The global sportswear market was valued at USD 425.37 billion in 2022 and is expected to reach USD 635.69 billion by 2028, growing at a CAGR. Finally, with the end of the threat of the global epidemic and the effect of being freed from psychological pressure, there was an explosion in the sportswear industry faster than before. And sales of fitness clothing continue to increase on a global scale.
Increasing participation of athletes in sports activities, awareness of fitness & wellness, and athleisure trends all contribute to the adoption of sportswear awareness, spending capacity, fitness and healthy lifestyle trends, and evolving fashion preferences.





Sportswear encompasses a range of clothing and accessories specifically designed for various sports and physical activities to enhance performance and provide comfort to athletes and fitness enthusiasts. This includes jerseys, shorts, t-shirts, tights, shoes, socks, hats, and more. These garments are engineered to regulate body temperature, making them ideal for athletic pursuits.
Yes, it is a fact that sportswear fashion is on the rise all over the world. Forbes gives detailed information about this. However, synthetic fabrics such as polyester and especially polyamide used in sportswear are proving to be extremely harmful to human health. CNN's Parija Kavilanz does her duty to warn by presenting her information on the subject in a clear and concise manner. Conbello Textile produces fitness clothes without chemical poisons.

Although the most commonly used fabrics in sportswear are mainstream fabrics such as cotton, polyester and polyamide, we see that high-end fabrics such as viscose, tencel and modal are becoming increasingly popular. However, of course, as important as the type of fabric, or even more important, is how the fabric used is produced.
What are the real secrets to sustained success in the fitness apparel business?
The global fitness clothing market is growing rapidly. Both clothing brands and fitness clothing manufacturers are trying to grab a share of this market. Of course, this is a very natural action. New fitness clothing brands and new manufacturers enter the sportswear industry almost every day. This is exactly the point where the sportswear industry has the most difficulty. Every manufacturer who wants to grab a share of the sportswear industry and has no experience in manufacturing fitness clothing or does not have the necessary machinery has started to enter this business. For example, a company that produces men's suits or even a manufacturer that produces tracksuits can enter the fitness clothing manufacturing business. However, these are completely different niche clothing areas. Meanwhile, it is a fact that high-quality sportswear cannot be produced and a high-level service cannot be received by using companies that do not have any technical knowledge and connect manufacturers and brands in return for commission (B2B companies, intermediaries, and offices). As a result, you should work with a fully integrated manufacturer. If you do not have at least 15 years of continuous field experience and technical experience in the fitness clothing industry, this is the only and guaranteed way to be successful.
The inexperience of fitness clothing brands and their approach solely focused on obtaining cheap clothing is, of course, an undeniable fact in diagnosing this problem. Consequently, poor-quality fitness clothing manufacturers will exploit this and cause serious harm.
We can give many examples on this subject. For example, yoga leggings often use polyester or polyamide fabric. (In fact, cotton fabrics, which are extremely healthful, are not very popular lately. In fact, cotton fabric is the only type of fabric that does not contain the toxic BPA chemical substance.)
Apart from this, the only aim of a company that produces cheap but poor quality leggings is to produce as much quantity as possible. Therefore, it means that it will not use the special sewing system required for yoga leggings (you can consider this for all other sportswear as well) and will apply sloppy and poor quality sewing. Manufacturing true custom fitness clothing is another highly complex and misunderstood technical subject. For example, the system in which the logo of the brand that placed the production order is simply applied to sportswear clothes, which have already been designed in advance and are mass-produced, is not custom manufacturing. This is called promotional (disposable) production.
At this point, fitness clothing brands fall into the traps of companies that manufacture cheap and therefore low-quality fitness clothing (and have insufficient experience). The main reason for this is that all polyester fabrics are thought to be the same. However, polyester fabrics are divided into many segments based on yarn type, fabric production system, and dyeing type. When a fitness clothing brand orders leggings to be manufactured, it can feel comfortable thinking that the fabric is polyester. However, the damage caused by the manufacturer who uses the poorest quality polyester fabric type to get the manufacturing job has a serious and great danger that will lead to the closure of the brand.
