Consistent growth of recreational water sports activities is spurring demand for wetsuits, with eco-friendly wetsuits emerging as the most popular products in the global wetsuits market.
Initially, the brand O’Neil Inc., manufactured the first wetsuit using neoprene. However, with technological advancements and the availability of modern machines has enabled brands to offer wetsuits made from other materials such as wool, lycra, synthetic rubber, and spandex.
This has enabled the wetsuits brands to diversify their product portfolios. Moreover, with growing demand for eco-friendly materials, sales of wool and lycra-based wetsuits are projected to rise over the forecast period.
Further, wetsuits designing has shifted from traditional methods such as seam taping and seam gluing to blind stitching. Blind stitching allows manufacturers to stitch the material completely from one side without making holes directly through the material.
This technique potentially gives more flexibility to the wetsuit and stops continuous flow of water through the material. These developments are expected to continue augmenting growth of the wetsuit market over the forecast period.
2021-2031 Wetsuit Market Outlook in Comparison to Sales Registered in 2016-2020
Wetsuits are preferred more than dry suits because they provide better thermal protection while wet, and the fabric allows better insulation compared to dry suits.

FMI has forecast the wetsuit market to rise at a 6.5% CAGR between 2021 and 2031.
Growth in number of water sports and recreational activities like surfing, diving, and water skinning is expected to continue pushing sales of wetsuits.
