Rockville, Md. The global alpine ski equipment market is set to reach about US$ 700 Mn by 2022 on moderate growth, according to Fact.MR. Participation in alpine skiing has risen substantially, and ski nations are expanding initiatives to lift it further, from grassroots programs such as Ski and Snowboard Australia's Little Shredders to large-scale resort and infrastructure development.

Alpine boots are the top-selling equipment, the over-110 mm size dominates, and specialty stores lead distribution. North America is the largest region, while Asia Pacific excluding Japan is the fastest riser.

Sizes, Equipment and Channels

The over-110 mm size accounts for over 80% of revenue, while the 70 to 79 mm size grows fastest. By equipment, alpine boots are the top seller at nearly a third of revenue, while alpine bindings expand quickest. On distribution, specialty stores lead and pass US$ 240 Mn by 2022, with online sales growing at a 4.3% CAGR. Economy pricing is preferred and surpasses US$ 250 Mn by 2022.

North America retains its dominance, while Asia Pacific excluding Japan and the Middle East and Africa post higher growth rates, helped by infrastructure development, including in South Korea around the 2018 Winter Olympics.

Participation Drives Demand

The market runs on getting more people on the slopes. Rising participation, safety awareness that lifts helmet use, and heavy investment in ski infrastructure that also drives regional tourism are together broadening the base of skiers and, with it, equipment demand through the forecast period.
