Market for Sports Equipment predicted to reach 1 bn in 2004.

(PRWEB) February 14, 2004 --Research and Markets announces the addition of the new Sports Equipment Market Report to its offerings.

The consumer market for sports equipment is predicted to reach 1bn in 2004, having climbed strongly from 675m in 1999. Sports equipment is an extremely fragmented market, reflecting the fact that dozens of sports are played by keen amateurs, with each sport requiring its own specific types of equipment and accessories. Many popular sports do not require equipment at all, or the equipment is provided by organisations rather than individuals.

This report provides an analysis of the UK market for sports equipment including market definition, market size, Industry Background, Competitor Analysis, SWOT analysis, buying behaviour and Current issues.
