- Press Release -

Rockville, Md. The global golf gloves market is set to reach about US$ 200 Mn by 2022 on moderate growth, according to Fact.MR. Golf gloves offer grip, warmth, protection from heat and cold, and defence against blisters, and rising participation, whether as a career or for recreation, along with growing awareness of hand protection, keeps demand climbing.

Hybrid-material gloves lead and grow fastest, individual buyers dominate demand, and North America is the largest region. Asia Pacific excluding Japan is the quickest-growing region.

Materials, Buyers and Channels

Hybrid gloves are both the leading and fastest-growing material at a 4.3% CAGR, holding the largest share. By buyer, individuals dominate at about 70% of revenue and grow strongly. On distribution, modern trade holds 23.1% of revenue in 2017 but grows more slowly, while direct-to-consumer brand outlets and third-party online channels expand at a similar, faster pace.

North America leads by revenue on the strength of its established golf base, while Asia Pacific excluding Japan grows fastest at a 4.4% CAGR.

Golf Growth Drives Demand

The market runs on the sport's reach. As more people take up golf and disposable incomes rise, demand for gloves follows, and greater awareness of blister and grip issues supports it, though high prices and cheaper clones temper faster growth.

Suppliers and Their Playbook

The field brings together sports and golf equipment brands.

• 3M Company, Amer Sports Corporation, Adidas AG, NIKE, Inc., Mizuno Corporation, Under Armour, Inc., Acushnet Holdings Corp., and Callaway Golf Company are among the key players in the report.

Reading the Market for Decisions

For makers, growth favours hybrid-material gloves and a stronger direct and online presence. Investors get a small market with steady, participation-led demand. Procurement and retail teams can plan around individual buyers carrying volume and North America offering the largest opportunity while Asia Pacific grows fastest through 2022.
