Athleisure growth sharpens focus on performance knits

London - The global athleisure market is projected to almost double from US$422.04 billion in 2025 to $892.48 billion by 2033, supported by a forecast compound annual growth rate of 9.9% from 2026 to 2033.

For knitting and hosiery manufacturers, this sustained expansion is underpinned by growing consumer demand for garments that combine technical performance with comfort and casual styling.
