In 2024, the Philippines continued to see a significant influx of skating shoes imports, with top exporting countries being Vietnam, China, Indonesia, India, and Italy. The high Herfindahl-Hirschman Index (HHI) concentration indicates a competitive market landscape. The impressive compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 23.09% from 2020 to 2024 demonstrates a strong demand for skating shoes in the Philippines. Moreover, the remarkable growth rate of 48.98% from 2023 to 2024 suggests a rapid expansion of the market, presenting lucrative opportunities for stakeholders in the skating shoes industry.

The ski market in the Philippines is projected to reach PHP 1 billion with an average yearly growth rate of 7%. The growing number of recreational skiers, coupled with improved snow infrastructure throughout resorts and ski parks across the country, will continue to drive this industry?s expansion over time. Moreover, manufacturers are investing heavily into promoting skiing as an attractive leisure activity helping boost sales for ski equipment and apparel all-year round locally.
While skiing is not a native sport to the Philippines, the ski market is expected to see gradual growth due to changing travel patterns and preferences. As more Filipinos travel abroad to experience winter destinations and skiing resorts, the demand for ski equipment and accessories is likely to rise. The desire for unique travel experiences and the opportunity to engage in snow-based activities drive the interest in skiing among Filipinos.
The ski market in the Philippines faces notable challenges, largely stemming from the country`s geographical constraints. The absence of natural snowfall in most regions of the Philippines requires ski resorts to rely on artificial snow-making systems, which can be expensive and environmentally impactful. This limits the number of ski resorts and the overall accessibility of skiing as a sport. Moreover, the lack of familiarity with skiing due to the tropical climate and the associated costs of traveling to ski destinations abroad can hinder the growth of the local ski market. To overcome these challenges, ski resorts need to invest in sustainable snow-making technologies, offer competitive pricing, and focus on creating memorable skiing experiences for both beginners and enthusiasts.
The ski market in the Philippines is a niche segment due to the absence of natural snow and the tropical climate. Ski enthusiasts often need to travel abroad to engage in skiing activities. The COVID-19 pandemic severely impacted international travel, leading to a standstill in the ski tourism industry. The market`s revival is tied to the recovery of global travel and tourism, as well as the willingness of individuals to invest in overseas skiing experiences. It may take some time for the ski market to regain its pre-pandemic momentum.
While skiing is not a traditional sport in the Philippines due to the tropical climate, there is a growing interest in skiing among a niche group of enthusiasts. The ski market is still relatively small compared to other countries with colder climates. Nonetheless, key players like Rossignol and Salomon have established a presence in the Philippines, offering ski equipment suitable for travel to colder destinations. The market`s expansion is linked to the rise of outbound tourism to ski resorts, allowing these brands to cater to the needs of Filipino travelers seeking skiing experiences abroad.
