Moreover, the increasing popularity of outdoor activities and sports, especially in regions with high rainfall, has also contributed to the growth of the rainwear market. These factors have led to a rise in the demand for rainwear products globally, driving the growth of the market.

One key market trend in the rainwear market is the increasing demand for sustainable and eco-friendly rainwear products. With rising awareness about environmental issues and the impact of consumer goods on the environment, there has been a growing demand for rainwear products made from recycled and sustainable materials.

This trend is expected to continue as consumers increasingly seek eco-friendly alternatives to traditional rainwear products.
