Dublin, Dec. 15, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Research and Markets has announced the addition of the "Global Kickboxing Equipment Market 2016-2020" report to their offering.

The global kickboxing equipment market to grow at a CAGR of 3.25% during the period 2016-2020.

The report covers the present scenario and the growth prospects of the global kickboxing equipment market for 2016-2020. To calculate the market size, the report considers the revenue generated from the retail sales of different types of kickboxing equipment to individual consumers, gyms, and sports organizers. The report also includes a discussion of the key vendors operating in this market.

One of latest trends in the market is innovations in headgear. Headgear is one of the most important protective gear. As headgears that are currently available in the market cannot provide complete protection against head injuries like concussions, most innovations in the coming years will likely be focused around head protective gear. Fatal injuries incurred by players during kickboxing matches are also spurring the need for innovative headgear that can provide complete protection. As such, a number of vendors have already started introducing innovative products under the protective headgear segment. For instance, in 2014, Adidas launched its lightweight molded headgear Adizero, which weighs approximately 10 ounces. The vents along the top and sides of the headgear provide ventilation.

According to the report, one of the primary drivers in the market is popularity of kickboxing as a part of fitness programs. Kickboxing is a form of martial arts that provides a full-body workout and improves cardiovascular endurance and enhances muscle toning. Kickboxing works all major muscles (upper and lower body muscles) and improves balance, coordination, and flexibility. This type of total-body approach benefits one's health by burning calories, improving cardiovascular endurance, and heart rate. Kickboxing also improves ligament and tendon flexibility and blood and oxygen flow.

Further, the report states that one major challenge in the market is non-inclusion of kickboxing from sports offered by schools and colleges. Combat sports, apart from wrestling and fencing, are not included in the list of sports that are offered by many schools and colleges. This is one of the major challenges for the growth of combat sports like kickboxing. School- and college-level scholarships for sports like football, basketball, and baseball will continue to hinder the youth participation rates in kickboxing.
