The distribution of outdoor sports brands presents a diversified pattern, and marketing has been upgraded from traffic competition to value output

In terms of brand distribution, in the outdoor field, domestic brands such as Camel, Kailas, and Boshihe are developing well. They have won the favor of consumers by improving product quality and cover multiple market segments such as fashion and mass cost - effectiveness. International high - end brands like Arc'teryx are well - known and also occupy a high position in the market. In the sports industry, international traditional brands such as Nike and Adidas still have strong influence, while domestic brands like Li - Ning and Anta are constantly enhancing their competitiveness and gradually rising. Meanwhile, in sub - sectors such as yoga, fitness, and fan products, brands like Lululemon and Yonex perform outstandingly, meeting consumers' professional and personalized needs and highlighting the richness of industry segmentation.

More importantly, the competition among these brands has shifted from traditional traffic competition to in - depth output of values and lifestyles. Li - Ning topped the list again with a popularity index of 1.93. Its core strategy is to continuously deepen the "national trend" gene by combining sports with traditional cultural symbols. FilA focuses on art cross - border and breaking into the fashion scene. This month, it held a "Roaming Summer Party" sports show live - streaming room with many celebrities, fashion influencers, and young artists, not only achieving a high - end breakthrough but also ranking high in sales popularity. Descente's marketing strategy focuses on "professionalism is fashion". By creating a brand concept space store integrated with urban life, it invited celebrity coaches to hold a "Spring Training Field" themed sports course based on the concept store, connecting with the leisure sports moments of urban white - collar workers. Arc'teryx's marketing has been upgraded to a cultural phenomenon - level output. It held the "Tracing the Source" exhibition at the Arc'teryx Museum in Shanghai, restoring the Alpine trails through 3D printing, and the conversion rate from exhibition - viewing to purchase reached 22%.

The popularity of light outdoor and light sports is rising, and brands meet the needs of segmented groups with trends, convenience, and technology

With the rapid rise of the "light sports" concept, activities such as urban cycling, outdoor yoga, and home fitness are popular among different groups due to their low - intensity, high - fun, and strong social attributes. Firstly, "time - scarce" urban white - collar workers pursue efficient and fragmented sports solutions. For example, Merach's home treadmills and rowing machines support modes such as AI personal trainer accompaniment and AR real - scene. Secondly, "social - sharing" young people prefer equipment with both good looks and check - in attributes. For instance, Boshihe's "Mountain Colors" series of high - value windbreakers have sparked heated discussions on social media. Thirdly, the "health - management" middle - aged and elderly group prefers low - impact sports. Decathlon has launched elderly - friendly walking shoes and joint protectors to meet this demand.

In addition, the proportion of female users has increased significantly. Lululemon has further expanded its customer base by launching plus - size yoga clothes and pregnancy sports series. Descente has launched a new women's comprehensive training series, introducing the "bud" style specially tailored for Asian women. Products like Adidas' "bud skirt" have triggered fashion influencers and users to share their outfits on social media platforms such as Xiaohongshu.
