Sporting gear, including sporting goods, has various forms depending on the sport, but it is essential to complete the sport. The equipment ranges from balls, to nets, and to protective gear like helmets. Sporting equipment can be used as protective gear or a tool used to help the athletes play the sport. Sports protective equipment includes equipment or tools used for the safety and security of players while playing sports. Sports protective equipment protects players from any kind of injury while playing sports. This equipment is made for different parts of the body. The rise in demand for sports protective equipment is due to an increase in demand for sporting goods, a rise in penetration of sports in emerging markets, increasing the popularity of sports leagues, and economic development.

The industry is witnessing a considerable growth across the globe owing to increasing adoption of sports and recreational activities by people for stress management and growing health awareness. Widespread media coverage of several global sports events, such as FIFA World Cup, Commonwealth Games, and Olympic Games, amplifies the popularity and expands the global reach of sports, thereby encouraging youth to take part in sports.

The head protection segment is expected to hold a major market share in the global sports protective equipment market during the forecast period and is estimated to bring in revenues of nearly US$ 2.7 Bn by the end of 2020.
