Dublin, Oct. 11, 2017 -- The "Retail Trends in the Sportswear Market" report has been added to Research and Markets' offering.

This report examines the four key areas that retailers focus on to engage and retain today's consumers. It provides an understanding of consumer and retailer behaviour. It includes a brief analysis of the impact of retail trends on sports textiles companies, and a future outlook of those trends.

Disruptive forces continue to change the sportswear retail environment. Shifting consumer expectations and preferences, along with increased competition are driving the requirement for change in the retail business. Empowered shoppers now expect to purchase products from anywhere and are paying more attention to sustainable merchandising practices. Also, technological developments are revolutionising the retail environment. The internet, for example, has transformed the way people make their purchases and search for products.

In fact, understanding retail focus areas is not only important for retailers, but also for their vendors. This is because it is critical for them to know how they can support their retail partners in order to adapt to the shifting environment, and to understand what retail dynamics mean for their businesses.
