Increased participation in swimming and competitive sports, together with awareness of the benefits derived from specialist swim gear, increases demand and widens the market.

COVID-19 IMPACT

Disrupted supply chains led to shortage of swim gears

The global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with the market experiencing lower-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels. The sudden market growth reflected by the rise in CAGR is attributable to market’s growth and demand returning to pre-pandemic levels.

COVID-19 affected the nose clip market, as the manufacturing and supply chains were disrupted. This therefore means that there were shortages in swim gear, including nose clips. The restrictions the pandemic placed on international trade and logistics led to production and distribution delays, meaning these products would be available. However, increased personal health and safety awareness during the pandemic also put many consumers in a better position to seek quality swim gear, so manufacturers could ramp up innovation once restrictions started to relax, meeting the changing needs of the consumer.

LATEST TRENDS

Rise of customizable designs lead towards enhanced comfort and performance

Some of the recent trends in the market for nose clips include the use of more ergonomic and personalized designs to enhance comfort and performance in swimmers. The different manufacturers are directed toward the use of more sophisticated materials that include soft silicones and hypoallergenic compounds, which provide the necessary security with minimal discomfort in prolonged uses. More adjustable features are also being focused on to fit the different shapes of the noses and individual preferences. Besides that, development of eco-friendly materials and sustainable materials also trends upward since most consumers are shifted towards products that have less impact on the environment. Such innovations reflect a wider movement toward better user experience and sustainability in swim gear.
