In 2024, nearly 32 percent of the adidas Group's net sales were generated in Europe. Sales shares from the key regions of North America and Greater China stood at about 22 and 15 percent, respectively. That year, the adidas Group generated some 23.7 billion euros in net sales worldwide. The adidas Group’s global appeal The adidas Group had consistently increased its global sales figures since 2013, exceeding 21 billion euros annually from 2017. In the year of the pandemic in 2020, however, sales had dropped slightly. In terms of product categories, footwear sales reached nearly 14 billion euros in 2024, which represents a 59 percent share of adidas’ net sales. Apparel makes up the company's second-largest product segment. The departure of Reebok The Reebok brand had been part of the adidas Group since the mid-2000s, continuously generating annual net sales worldwide of more than 1.4 billion euros. North America was the subsidiary's best performing region in 2020, with net sales of 397 million euros. However, adidas announced its plans to sell the brand in 2021, and in 2022, Reebok was acquired by Authentic Brands Group (ABG).

The chart shows the share of adidas' net sales worldwide in 2024, broken down by product category. In 2024, footwear accounted for over half of all adidas' net sales. That year, adidas Group had net sales amounting to about 23.68 billion euros.

This timeline shows the adidas Group's share price from 2000 to 2024. At the end of the fiscal year in 2024, the share price of the adidas Group was 236.80 euros.

The statistic shows the global revenues of the sporting goods companies Nike, Adidas, and Puma from 2006 to 2024. That year, the Adidas Group generated over 23 billion euros in revenue, while Nike had over double the revenue of Adidas. The biggest apparel brand in the world The global sports apparel market is highly fragmented, with basic discount brands to high-end fashion name brands competing for market position. U.S.-based Nike is the world’s leading brand in athletic footwear and apparel and the world's most valuable clothing brand in general. Nike has a higher global revenue than its main competitors, Adidas and Puma, put together. North America is a key market for Nike, as close to half of its global revenue is generated there each year. Much of Nike's success can be attributed to the brand’s marketing campaign as well as sponsorship agreements with celebrity athletes and professional sports teams. Adidas and Puma Adidas and Puma used to be one company named Gebrüder Dassler Schuhfabrik, established by two brothers, Adolf and Rudolf Dassler. After a disagreement between the two brothers, the company split, creating the two widely known sporting brands, Adidas and Puma. Adidas is the largest sportswear manufacturer in Europe and the second largest in the world, just behind Nike, with a brand value of approximately 15.7 billion U.S. dollars. Just as with Nike, footwear is the most important category for Adidas. In 2023, over 50 percent of the Adidas Group's net sales were generated by the footwear category. Puma, also one of the globe's leading sporting goods brands, has the long-term mission of becoming the most desirable sport lifestyle company in the world. Europe and the Americas are the most profitable markets for Puma, as these regions accounted for about 80 percent of Puma’s consolidated sales. Describing itself as the 'blue mountains,' Puma has been trying to incorporate more edge, creativity, and uniqueness into their designs with their collaborations with celebrities and fashion designers. This is a common strategy among these leading sports brands, as they aim to maintain their share of the market by broadening their product lines.

In 2024, the adidas Group's market capitalization amounted to approximately 42.28 billion euros, up from 32.88 billion euros in the previous year. The company’s market capitalization almost doubled between 2015 and 2016, when its value rose by around 12 billion euros. In 2000, the company’s market capitalization amounted to 2.99 billion euros. Market capitalization represents the value of a listed company. Adidas The adidas Group manufactures and sells a wide range of clothing items and sports equipment. Adidas is one of the best-known names in this industry. Its main competitors are Nike, Puma, and Under Armour. In 2024, the adidas Group had net sales amounting to 23.68 billion euros. The company’s increase in value is possibly attributed to its sponsorship deals with some of the most influential athletes in the world, most notably David Beckham and Lionel Messi. Furthermore, adidas has collaborated with fashion designers and celebrities such as Stella McCartney and Donald Glover in recent years.

The region’s sneaker events, collaborations with artists and celebrities, and strong marketing strategies have cemented its position as the epicenter of limited-edition sneaker drops, attracting global attention and setting industry standards.

The Asia Pacific region is projected to be the fastest-growing market, exhibiting a remarkable CAGR of 15.8% during the forecast period. Rapid urbanization, rising disposable incomes, and the proliferation of streetwear culture among youth are key drivers fueling demand for limited-edition sneaker drop access in markets like China, Japan, and South Korea. Strategic investments by global brands in localized collaborations, influencer partnerships, and region-specific releases are accelerating market penetration. Furthermore, the digital-savvy population in Asia Pacific is quick to adopt app-based and online access models, leveraging advanced mobile payment solutions and social media platforms to participate in sneaker drops. This growth is further supported by government initiatives promoting e-commerce and digital entrepreneurship, making Asia Pacific a hotspot for innovation and expansion in the sneaker drop ecosystem.

Emerging economies in Latin America and Middle East & Africa are witnessing gradual adoption of limited-edition sneaker drop access, albeit with unique challenges. While consumer interest in exclusive footwear is on the rise, factors such as limited digital infrastructure, import regulations, and fragmented distribution channels hinder seamless market expansion. In these regions, localized demand is often driven by urban youth and sneaker enthusiasts who rely on third-party retailers and social media communities for access to global releases. Policy reforms aimed at enhancing e-commerce capabilities and streamlining cross-border trade are gradually improving market accessibility. However, brands must navigate logistical complexities, counterfeit risks, and varying consumer preferences to unlock the full potential of these emerging markets.
