A sports bra is a women's clothing product to be worn during sports activities. It has become an important part of the modern-age world where the female force is undertaking various physical and recreational activities either for professional reasons or as a part of daily routine to maintain physical health. Companies in the segment view sports bras as a way of winning female athletes that have millions of followers thus reaching a larger consumer database. Earlier sports bras were considered a luxury and were used only by a certain section of the female population. However, with growing awareness activities like describing why a sports bra is a necessity, companies have worked extensively to cater to the different demands of end-consumer from every segment. In 2018, The Sports Bra project was initiated by Sarah Dwyer-Shick, requesting brands and people to donate sports bras to provide them to athletes who faced barriers in accessing the product due to a variety of reasons. The movement since then has gained a lot of momentum and has reached other parts of the world like Australia. There are two types of sports bras. One that compresses breasts and the other that encapsulates them.

The global sports bra market is segmented based on distribution design, channel, and region
Based on the design, the global market is segmented into non-padded and padded.

As per official data, around 80% of the women wear the wrong size bras resulting in the product becoming ineffective in delivering the expected outcome.
Based on distribution channel, the global market segments are e-commerce, brand outlets, company website, and offline retail stores.

As per a 2021 Statista report, around 21% of Nike’s sales in 2020 were owed to first-party e-commerce.
Europe is projected to lead the global sports bra market with high revenues owing to high product awareness and adoption rate. The female population of European countries is known for physical fitness. Since there is a direct positive relationship between physical and mental health, almost all medical practitioners recommend women undertake some form of regular physical activity even if not for professional reasons. This is one of the major reasons why a large number of females in the EU are known to be accustomed to recreational activities regularly. The regional market of North America is projected to grow owing to the exceptionally high budget of brands for the marketing and advertising of the product. Nike is known to constantly collaborate with influential sports personalities, giving them the liberty to help Nike design the product which is an excellent strategic way of creating brand awareness and acceptance.
