Surfing Equipment Market Size Worth $5.47 Billion By 2028

Surfing Equipment Market Growth & Trends

The global surfing equipment market size is anticipated to reach USD 5.47 billion by 2028, registering a CAGR of 4.4% over the forecast period, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The primary factor driving the market growth is the push by surfing equipment manufacturers, marketers, and associations to make surfing much more approachable than it has been in previous years. In addition, increased interest in surfing due to the growing focus of consumers on wellness and fitness will support the market growth. Over the years, surf tourism has had a considerable impact on the demand for surfing equipment and apparel.

In recent years, increased accessibility and affordability have attracted a large number of surfers from many demographic groups. Due to the use of wave pools for training, surfing has become more accessible to people who do not live near a beach. Surfers who can access these pools can train regardless of the weather and at any time of the day. Thus, an increasing number of wave pools has increased the demand for surfing equipment.

People are spending an increasing amount of money on surfing as the sport’s culture grows. Surfers in the United States spend more than USD 3 billion on local surfing trips each year, according to Surf Park Central. The average surfer in the United States owns four different surfboards and spends 2.5 hours surfing per local season.
