According to Ravi Bhandari, Head of Research, 6Wresearch, the United States is expected to dominate the industry due to its larger population, higher disposable income, and greater consumer demand for weather-related products. The market in the United States benefits from a wider distribution network and a higher rate of urbanization, which increases the need for convenient and portable weather protection solutions such as umbrellas and raincoats. On the other hand, the Canadian segment is anticipated to experience significant growth. Canada’s market, though smaller in size compared to the United States, is influenced by its variable and often harsh weather conditions, driving the demand for high-quality, durable raincoats and umbrellas. Growth in this segment is supported by an increasing awareness of environmental sustainability, leading to a higher demand for eco-friendly products.
In terms of train type, nylon raincoat umbrellas are expected to dominate the industry due to their lightweight, durable, and water-resistant properties, making them highly popular among consumers. The vinyl raincoat umbrella segment is also anticipated to show significant growth. This growth can be attributed to vinyl's superior waterproof capabilities and its increasing use in innovative designs and vibrant patterns that appeal to fashion-conscious consumers. The "others" category, encompassing various materials and niche products, will continue to expand, driven by ongoing product innovation and the rising demand for unique and specialized rain protection solutions.
In terms of application, the adult segment is expected to dominate the industry due to the larger population and higher purchasing power. Adults tend to prioritize quality and durability, often opting for higher-end products, which drives the overall market revenue. Additionally, the adult segment includes a diverse range of consumers, from working professionals to outdoor enthusiasts, contributing to its dominance. On the other hand, the children's segment is anticipated to experience significant growth. The increasing focus on child safety and comfort, coupled with a growing trend of fashionable and themed rainwear for kids, is driving demand in this category. Parents are willing to spend more on functional yet stylish rain gear for their children, and manufacturers are responding with innovative designs and features. This growing demand, along with an expanding population of children, makes the children's segment a key area of growth within the industry.
