What do sportswear companies do?
Sportswear companies develop and produce running gear, training wear, team kits and outdoor layers, often in technical fabrics, and many run their own shops and webshops. Their customers are athletes, fitness fans, sports clubs and sporting goods retailers.
Our data comes from the business registers of 35 European countries. SIC has no code of its own for sportswear companies: they sit in SIC major group 23 (apparel and other finished products made from fabrics and similar materials), major group 50 (wholesale trade-durable goods), major group 56 (apparel and accessory stores) and major group 59 (miscellaneous retail), so within that we select them on the CompanyData industry label for sportswear makers and shops. In NACE, the European code those registers use, 2,422 of them (39%) sit in classes 14.19 (manufacture of other wearing apparel and accessories), 14.13 (manufacture of other outerwear) and 47.71 (retail sale of clothing in specialised stores), part of divisions 14 (manufacture of wearing apparel) and 47 (retail trade, except of motor vehicles and motorcycles).
