Increased Health and Exercise Awareness
The Turkey athletic shoes sector is influenced by increased awareness about health, well-being, and exercise among customers.

Increasing interest in physical health is generating greater demand for cushioned, long-lasting, and performance-driven shoes.

Urbanization and lifestyle changes are also to be credited, as working professionals are integrating fitness routines into hectic lifestyles, causing a boom in the demand for sports shoes.

Football, basketball, running, and trekking are becoming increasingly popular sports among various age groups, making consumers buy performance-specific and injury-prevention sports shoes. Government pushes for developing sports infrastructure, school-level competition, and community-level fitness programs are augmenting the culture of athletic participation further. Also, Turkey's increased participation in global sporting events and football league popularity are nudging young people towards a more active way of life. Leisure activities like hiking and out-of-doors adventures are also generating steady demand for rugged and supportive shoes.

This growing passion for sports culture, plus lifestyle-driven pursuits, is guaranteeing athletic footwear as a major product segment in Turkish retailing. Various exhibitions are also taking place where sports accessories are showcased, thereby encouraging people to purchase products.
