The global athletic tape market consists of roll tape and pre-cut tape formats, with roll tapes holding a larger market share in 2022. Roll tapes are commonly used for restricting joint movement and providing temporary stability for injuries. The demand for athletic tapes is increasing due to the rising burden of sports-related injuries worldwide. While pre-cut tapes have gained popularity, roll tapes have a longer presence in the market and are well-known among athletes for their versatility. Roll tapes are also easier to handle, use, and more cost-effective compared to pre-cut tapes. The market is further segmented by tape type, with elastic tapes accounting for the highest market share in 2022. Elastic tapes offer benefits such as easy application, flexibility, and improved movement and circulation around injuries, making them suitable for major muscle areas. Athletes often wear elastic tapes during training or competition to protect vulnerable joints, ankles, and knees, providing rapid pain relief and improving body posture.
In 2022, injury prevention accounted for over 60.4% of the global athletic tape market. Traditional taping methods, like using rigid athletic tape, are commonly used to prevent injuries in athletics. Athletic tape gained popularity after the 2008 Beijing Olympics. Sports stores, clubs, franchises, and federations held the largest market share in 2022, accounting for over 39.4%. The growth is driven by the expanding network of these channels and increasing accessibility to athletic tapes.
Europe dominated the global athletic tape market with a share of over 31.5% in 2022. The region's large population actively participates in sports and fitness activities, leading to a higher incidence of sport-related injuries. Countries such as Germany, France, the UK, Italy, and others have significant athletic populations, driving the revenue growth of athletic tapes. Outdoor sports like football, basketball, baseball, volleyball, rugby, and more are widely played in Europe, resulting in an increasing number of sports-related injuries. Sprains, strains, knee, and ankle injuries are particularly common among European athletes. Additionally, the presence of organized sports events and growing support for sports and physical fitness contribute to the rising demand for athletic tapes due to the increasing number of athletes and the need for sports injury management.
