Global Outdoor Apparel Market Forecast 2035:
According to the report, the global outdoor apparel market is projected to expand from USD 61.7 billion in 2025 to USD 96.7 billion by 2035, registering a CAGR of 4.6%, the highest during the forecast period. The global outdoor apparel market is fueled by the growing involvement in outdoor recreation, the rising adventure tourism, and the growing consumer interest in high performance, sustainable clothing. Innovation in materials and sustainable production further driven demand, because of brands are using technology and sustainability to achieve more functionality of their products. As an example, in August 2025, Arc’teryx launched its Beta Lightweight Collection with more breathable and less damaging ePE GORE-TEX membranes.
Additionally, the use of technical outdoor fashion in other lifestyle groups has expanded the market to include other consumers who appreciate functionality, durability, and comfort. Major market competitors like The North Face, Patagonia, and Arc’teryx use this cross-branding attraction to maintain high-end status. This market growth is accelerating through changing demographics (with younger city consumers). The increasing environmental awareness and preference of multifunctional, high performance clothes are driving the growth of the product innovation faster and strengthening the long-term growth trend of the market.
Moreover, the expansion of the global outdoor apparel is enhanced by the government stimulation of sustainable textile production, development of technical fabrics, and export competitiveness. PLI Scheme of Textiles in India, PM MITRA Parks, and Samarth Scheme allow the development of infrastructure, skills, and adoption of green technology, helping to increase the ability to produce at home and supply the world with performance-based apparel.
“Key Driver, Restraint, and Growth Opportunity Shaping the Global Outdoor Apparel Market”
The high price of the technically developed durable outdoor clothing is a further limiting factor particularly in markets with low discretionary incomes or those with first-mile purchasers. The high cost is the investment in materials, fabrication, testing and brand positioning, as well as the limitation of penetration among the younger generation and family homes that require more than one product.
The transition toward bio-based, recycled and circular textiles technologies represents an important opportunity that the outdoor apparel brands can use to differentiate and acquire a market share. As an example, in June 2024, Modern Meadow, and Earthletica, announced that they worked together on the Bronte Jacket, named after the competitive swimmer and dual Olympic gold medalist and world champion, Bronte Campbell OAM. The jacket is the first of its kind, lightweight jacket produced with Bio-AlloyTM Shield, which is a breathable and waterproof membrane created by Modern Meadow.
