Rising Popularity of Licensed Apparel and Footwear Among Youth
In Turkey, the demand for licensed sports apparel and footwear is growing rapidly, particularly among younger demographics. Young people account for 15% of Türkiye’s total population. As of 2024, the country is home to approximately 12.7 million individuals within the youth demographic. Sports brands affiliated with popular football clubs like Galatasaray, Fenerbahçe, and Beşiktaş are capitalizing on strong fan loyalty. Collaborations with international brands (e.g., Nike, Adidas) have further boosted appeal by offering stylish, co-branded merchandise. Social media influencers and athlete endorsements have accelerated this trend, driving purchases both online and in stores. With youth prioritizing both style and team identity, the segment is expected to expand significantly through 2033. Urbanization, rising sports participation, and national pride are key drivers fueling this trend, supported by improved product availability through e-commerce platforms and official club stores.
E-Commerce and Personalization
Turkey licensed sports merchandise market growth is being propelled through online retail, driven by greater internet penetration and mobile commerce adoption. At the beginning of 2025, Turkey had 77.3 million internet users, with an internet penetration rate of 88.3%. Major e-commerce platforms like Trendyol, Hepsiburada, and club-specific online stores are offering wider selections and customization options for fans. Personalization—such as name/number printing on jerseys—has emerged as a key selling point, especially during major sports events like UEFA tournaments or the Olympics. Seasonal promotions, influencer marketing, and flexible return policies have enhanced customer engagement and loyalty. This trend is also supported by increased investments from Turkish football clubs and federations in digital retail infrastructure, making merchandise more accessible to domestic and international fans alike. The segment’s growth is expected to continue steadily into 2033.
