Athletic Shoe Stores in the US Industry Market Research Report Now Available from IBISWorld
The Athletic Shoe Stores industry ran through some rough times when the recession decelerated the US economy. However, the industry got back on track as more Americans became aware of the growing obesity trend,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and consumer incomes increased. As the trend toward exercising increases,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], so will industry sales; but, these sales will level off as more people use the athletic shoes they bought coming out of the recession, slowing revenue. This may put downward pressure on industry profit margins,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but will not likely have a detrimental effect. For these reasons, industry research firm IBISWorld has added a report on the Athletic Shoe Stores industry to its growing industry report collection.
Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) November 30, 2012
The Athletic Shoe Stores industry rebounded strongly from recessionary challenges. When the recession hit in 2008, Americans financial confidence fell apart, causing many to hold off on discretionary purchases, including athletic shoes. Price discounts further depressed revenue despite driving a higher volume of sales. However, when consumer confidence finally increased in 2010,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], people who previously held off on athletic shoe purchases proceeded to buy them. "In addition,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the public is becoming increasingly aware of the obesity epidemic in the United States,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], stirring up a wave of health-consciousness that has encouraged Americans to exercise and, therefore, buy athletic shoes," says IBISWorld industry analyst . Furthermore,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], increased athletic activity puts more wear and tear on athletic shoes,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], necessitating more frequent purchases to replace worn out footwear. As a result of these factors, IBISWorld estimates that revenue will grow 1.7% per year on average to $10.0 billion during the five years to 2012. Revenue will rise about 8.4% in 2012 alone,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], as rising disposable incomes allow consumers to afford premium-priced shoes.
Profit expanded quickly and consistently during the past five years. At first, deep discounts to drive sales on athletic shoes during the recession squeezed profitability. Firms then gained leverage to raise prices as consumers shifted their focus from price to quality. Additionally, athletic shoe stores bought more of their products from low-cost countries abroad, expanding profit margins. According to Kazcanowska, small firms that shut down due to unprofitable operations also allowed the high-profit major companies to gain a larger market share and contribute to expanding profitability. For example, Nike grew its market share and enjoyed a healthy profit margin of more than 20.0% throughout the past five years. Consequently,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], average industry profit expanded from 3.6% of revenue in 2007 to about 10.2% in 2012. The industry is expected to continue growing consistently as Americans are increasingly health-conscious and gain confidence in their financial stability,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], facilitating purchases of expensive, high-quality shoes. However, the wave of new customers from the health-conscious movement will slowly plateau. As a result, revenue is forecast to grow in the next five years.
The top four companies in the Athletic Shoe Stores industry garner a combined market share of 80.7%; more than half of this is generated by , which hold 43.0% of industry revenue. Foot Locker operates over 3,000 stores that carry a variety of brands,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], which has contributed to its large revenue base. Meanwhile smaller players are generally independently owned and cater to a specific geographic market,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], they are also more likely to specialize in a specific type of athletic shoes, like running shoes. Stores that primarily sell specialty sports footwear, such as golf shoes, bowling shoes, and spiked shoes,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], are not included in this industry (included in the Sporting Goods Stores report 45111). Used goods and online sales are also excluded from this industry.
