The global Sport Fishing Equipment market size is expected to reach $ 18776 million by 2031, rising at a market growth of 4.4% CAGR during the forecast period (2025-2031).
Sport Fishing Equipment refers to the comprehensive gear used in recreational and sport fishing, encompassing rods, reels and components, fishing lines and leaders, lures and baits, terminal tackle such as hooks and sinkers, as well as an increasingly popular segment of electronic fishing aids. The upstream supply chain for this industry includes a wide range of materials such as carbon fiber, fiberglass, stainless steel, aluminum alloys, plastics, soft rubber, nylon threads, specialized coatings, etc. Key raw material suppliers include Toray, Mitsubishi Rayon, Sumitomo Chemical from Japan, as well as Chinese companies like Ningbo Huaxiang and Wanhua Chemical. Downstream applications cover casual hobbyists to professional anglers, fishing influencers, and leisure travelers. The gross margin across different product categories varies, with premium rods and electronic devices typically achieving over 40%, while basic hooks and lines fall into lower-margin segments.
Within the product type breakdown, rods, reels and components dominate the market, representing 35% of global market share in 2024. As the foundation of the fishing experience, these components are most valued by users for their performance in terms of weight, strength, casting distance, and control. Lines and leaders play a critical role in sensitivity and force transmission, while lures and baits are key to strike success. Terminal tackle governs bait presentation and hook-up efficiency. The electronics segment, which includes sonar fish finders, underwater cameras, smart floats, and fishing watches, is growing rapidly among tech-savvy anglers and is an emerging area of value-added differentiation in the market.
In terms of application, freshwater fishing remains the dominant segment, projected to account for 70% of the global market in 2024. The broad distribution of rivers, lakes, and reservoirs worldwide, combined with lower equipment barriers and higher accessibility, supports widespread participation. In contrast, saltwater fishing, while representing a smaller market share, is growing steadily in mature regions like North America, Japan, and Australia, fueled by the rise of coastal leisure travel and premium offshore fishing experiences. Saltwater gear requires higher resistance to corrosion and structural integrity, contributing to demand for high-end equipment.
The market is driven by a confluence of factors. Outdoor recreation continues to gain popularity globally, and fishing is increasingly adopted as a stress-relieving and family-friendly activity. Social media platforms such as YouTube, Instagram, and TikTok have amplified the visibility of fishing culture, attracting younger participants. Advances in manufacturing technology, such as carbon fiber processing, 3D molding, and electronic integration, are pushing product innovation and improving user engagement. Meanwhile, branding and premiumization trends are enabling manufacturers to enhance product value and profitability.
However, the industry also faces several restraints. Environmental and fishing regulations are becoming more stringent in certain regions, limiting fishing seasons and access to waters. Raw material cost volatility and supply chain disruptions pose financial and operational risks. Additionally, low industry concentration and intense price competition in the entry-level segment lead to commoditization, compressing profit margins for many manufacturers. Nevertheless, sport fishing equipment remains a promising category that blends lifestyle, performance, and community engagement. Global leaders such as Globeride (Daiwa), Shimano, Pure Fishing, Rapala VMC Corporation, Johshuya Co., Cabela’s Inc., Weihai Guangwei Group, and Shandong Weihai Huanqiu Fishing Tackle continue to leverage their brand strength, product innovation, and global channels to maintain a competitive edge.
