Market Report, "Sportswear in Portugal", published

After successive declines in value sales since 2009, 2014 showed signs of recovery, fuelled not only by economic improvements but also by greater visibility due to the Winter Olympic Games and particularly the FIFA World Cup. Football indubitably dominates sports in the country with more than 150,000 professional athletes and almost 3 million spectators over the 2013/2014 season. After football, volleyball, handball and basketball were the most popular sports, each with about 40,000 participants.

Competitive Landscape

With a 24% value share, Nike was the leader in sportswear in 2014, followed by adidas with a 19% share. Both companies’ positions remained relatively stable over the review period. The value share gap between Nike and Adidas was higher in apparel than footwear, with Nike leading both, as it managed to create a solid reputation in the country, particularly concerning performance and design.
