The sports and camping goods market in the EU

This market - until many other consumer goods markets - has continued to grow during the global economic downturn. Europeans are eager sportsmen! The market for sports and camping goods is one of the largest and most developed markets in the world, offering many opportunities to developing country suppliers. For instance, new sports are developing continuously. This could provide opportunities for exporters that are able to keep pace with these emerging activities. The long-term trend that will provide an opportunity for DC exporters is the slow decline in EU production and the transfer of production to low-wage economies overseas.
