As a branch of outdoor sports, water sports have gained popularity in recent years for combining physical fitness, leisure, and social functions. The increasing emphasis on a healthy lifestyle and leisure activities, coupled with the booming tourism industry, has jointly driven the rapid expansion of the water sports equipment market. According to Statista, by 2024, the global water sports equipment market is expected to reach $2.54 billion, with an estimated compound annual growth rate of 8.62% from 2024 to 2029. Many well-known sports brands are expanding their product lines, launching innovative water sports equipment, and providing professional equipment for athletes in water polo, canoeing, and other sports. The hosting of the Paris Olympics has further accelerated the development of this market.
