The sale of badminton equipment such as racquets, shuttles, shoes, bags, and badminton-specific clothing seems to be increasing. But who is the market leader and will they manage to stay on top?
While a few of the badminton equipment brands are global, there are many brands that seem to focus on addressing regional markets. Yonex (Japan), Victor (Taiwan), RSL (Hong Kong), LiNing (China), Babolat (France), and, to a certain extent, FZ Forza (Denmark) seem to be the most global brands. Adidas was active and was perfectly positioned to become a real global badminton brand up until recently, but they appear to be less interested in badminton moving forward.
Other brands such as Gosen (Japan), Carlton (HQ in Malaysia), Apacs Sports (Malaysia), Cosco (India), and Silver Sports (India), seem to be mainly regional with limited global distribution.
The market dynamics and proportions for badminton equipment make up for an interesting study. Especially when analyzing some of the current market leaders and how they approach the market. In our opinion, no one brand is doing an exceptional job across the board.
In this article, we outline the basic financials and market share data of the leading badminton equipment manufacturers. If you are interested in getting the full report, get in touch with us.
