Consumer wishes have changed in recent years – and the sports industry has adapted to them. The participants of ISPO Textrends Spring/Summer 2020/21 showed that sustainability is essential. Developments are becoming more and more creative.

Plastic waste is one of the big problems of this time. Consumer demand for recycled fashion is on the rise, and more and more sports and fashion companies work with it - in different ways.

For Fall/Winter 21/22, with sustainable processes par for the course, it is time for creativity to take charge, with colors a key component in creating an unforgettable season.

Anta Sports Products has officially become a member of the Better Cotton Initiative (BCI). China's largest sporting goods company is now focusing on sustainability as one of its current efforts.

Three mega trends exclusive to ISPO Textrends outline the direction the industry will be taking.

Leading companies and brands become first in line for circular raw materials supply as technology prepares for industrialization. Asics Europe, Sympatex, Dibella, Dhana, Directex and Himes join the Worn Again Technologies' programme.

From base layers to outer, membrane and coatings through to trims and accessories, this season’s awarded products feature efficient and transparency through the entire textile chain. The results for the Spring/Summer 2021 season will be showcased at OutDoor by ISPO and ISPO Shanghai.
