Boston, MA -- (SBWIRE) -- 10/06/2014 -- The alarming obesity rates in the region where over 70% of women and over 60% of men are classified as either obese or overweight has a led to an increase in obesity-related diseases, such as high blood pressure and diabetes. Over the review period, there were sustained public (government and media) and private efforts to attempt to stem these trends and as a result, exercise is increasingly being promoted as a necessity as part of healthy and positive lifestyle. But the uptake of regular exercise remains muted, as entrenched sedentary lifestyles are hard to shift. Women in particular are challenged in exercising by cultural norms, which restrict their ability to exercise outdoors in appropriate gear. Local high temperatures also make it difficult for both men and women to take up outdoor physical activities. Thus, uptake has mostly been reflected in the increase in memberships to private, air-conditioned gymnasiums over the last few years. This has therefore led to an increase in the purchase of sportswear so that sportswear retail grew in 2013 by a rate of 4% in the UAE, in retail value terms.

Industry Prospects

Fitness and thus the uptake of sporting activities, is expected to increase in line with the health and wellness trend which is currently taking place in the UAE and which is set to grow significantly over the forecast period. Health concerns are set to drive this growth as forecasts suggest an increase in the rates of obesity-related illnesses in the population over the forecast period. The government is expected to intensify its efforts and initiatives to improve the health of its population and fitness, and thus by extension, sportswear will likely benefit from this trend. Sportswear is also set to benefit from the increasing uptake of Western fashion trends, which associate sportswear with fashionable dressing. Increasing Westernisation and a desire to be fashionable, will thus lead to an increase in the purchase of sportswear.
