Saudi Arabia Running Gear Market Trends:

Rising Health Consciousness and Lifestyle Changes

The rising knowledge about physical wellbeing and fitness within the Saudi market is one major driver driving the demand for running equipment. Increasing consciousness about lifestyle illnesses like obesity, high blood pressure, and diabetes has resulted in a substantial percentage of the populace embracing a regular fitness regime, such as jogging and running. A further push is provided to the trend through overall health programs in the country conducted by the Ministry of Health for Saudi nationals that urged the implementation of a body-building lifestyle as part of general living habits. In addition, the younger generation is increasingly exposed to international fitness trends, social media fitness bloggers, and mobile fitness tracking apps. This exposure finds expression in greater engagement in sports and outdoor activities and therefore demand for premium running clothing, shoes, and accessories. In 2024, the world’s largest liner park was opened in Saudi Arabia with 135 km sports boulevard. This further encouraged people to engage in running activities.

Government Initiatives and Vision 2030 Reforms

Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030 strategy has a revolutionary impact on the growth of the sports and fitness sector, as well as the running equipment market. According to the country's national development strategy, the government strives to raise the rate of public physical activity in 2030. This strategic objective is leading to an expansion of public sports facilities, such as jogging paths, open gyms, and sports facilities in urban areas, such as Riyadh, Jeddah, and Dammam. In addition, investment in national fitness initiatives is contributing to a recreational and professional athletics culture. Hosting marathons, running clubs, and open sports events are directly increasing the need for performance-oriented and relaxed running apparel. These policy-driven innovations provide fertile ground for both international and domestic brands to expand their market presence and launch forward-thinking products aligned with customers' requirements. The Saudi Sports for All Federation (SFA) revealed main information for the first 2025 SFA International Sporting Events, including the SFA Expo and Riyadh Marathon. The SFA Expo occurred from February 5-7, 2025, in Riyadh's JAX District, while the Riyadh Marathon was scheduled for Saturday, February 8, 2025.

Expansion of E-Commerce and Retail Infrastructure

The rise of e-commerce websites and the upgradation of retail channels are exerting an immense impact on the availability of running equipment to consumers in Saudi Arabia. Internet-based shopping sites, both international and domestic provide an extensive variety of running products like high-performance running shoes to fitness smart wearables, thereby enabling convenience and value pricing. These sites also offer localized services like Arabic-language interfaces, cash-on-delivery (COD), and returns by post, fostering wider consumer participation. As per the predictions of the IMARC Group, the Saudi Arabia e-commerce market is expected to reach USD 708.7 Billion by 2033. This will further increase the availability of various running gear online.
