The sportswear segment in India has evolved from a niche segment and is witnessing significant growth. In order to share key market insights on areas that are most important for growth for this segment, Magdalena Kondej, Global Head of Apparel Research, Euromonitor International will deliver a presentation consumer behavior titled “Sportswear in South Asia: Market Trends and the Evolving Consumer Landscape”.

Magdalena is responsible for the quality of Euromonitor’s Apparel research and is also in charge of Euromonitor publications in the Apparel area, conference presentations and is working with the international client base of Euromonitor’s online Passport Apparel database.

Speaking on the India market, Magdalena Kondej, Global Head of Apparel Research, Euromonitor International  said “Although per capita spend on sports apparel in India remains low compared to other markets, the growth rates have been phenomenal. In fact, the Indian sports apparel market has almost tripled since 2007 and further US$2.5 billion is expected to be added to the industry in the next 5 years. This makes India the most dynamic market globally and presents tremendous opportunities for businesses operating in this area.”

About LYCRA fiber

The LYCRA fiber brand is an integral element in many of the world’s leading fashion brands but is often misunderstood. “LYCRA” is not a fabric or type in its own right. It is not the name of the category of stretch fabrics or clothing. It is the world’s leading brand of elastane fiber and other premium stretch fibers and fabrics that can be combined with many other fabrics such as cotton, wool, leather or even cashmere.
