The tennis apparel and footwear market in Saudi Arabia is experiencing a steady uptrend, underpinned by the nation’s growing investment in sports infrastructure and a broader push to diversify its economy beyond oil through Vision 2030. Tennis, once a niche sport in the Kingdom, is gaining significant attention, especially among younger demographics and expatriate communities. This shift is encouraging both domestic and international brands to explore the Saudi market with greater intensity. A key driver of market growth is the government’s active promotion of sporting events, with high-profile tennis tournaments like the Diriyah Tennis Cup drawing international attention and boosting local interest in the sport. Additionally, the rise in health awareness and fitness culture has led to increased participation in tennis as a recreational activity, stimulating demand for performance-oriented sportswear and footwear.
However, the market still faces a few constraints. Limited tennis-playing infrastructure in non-metropolitan areas and relatively low historical engagement with the sport pose challenges to widespread adoption. Moreover, premium pricing of global brands continues to limit accessibility for a broader consumer base. Despite this, emerging local manufacturers and regional e-commerce platforms are creating new avenues to cater to mid-tier segments, thus addressing the affordability issue.
There are substantial opportunities for growth in the women's segment, as Saudi Arabia gradually enhances female participation in sports, supported by policy reforms and dedicated female sports programs. Brands that align their offerings with local cultural expectations—such as modest yet functional athletic wear—are likely to resonate well with the target audience. A notable trend in the Saudi market is the fusion of traditional attire aesthetics with modern sportswear technology, creating niche demand for region-specific apparel. Moreover, collaborations between sports retailers and influencers or athletes within Saudi Arabia are also contributing to brand visibility and consumer engagement, thereby fueling long-term market expansion.
