The country's total apparel market is modest given its population of ~1.37 million, but participation in outdoor activities is structurally high — 84.8% of Estonian adults meet WHO physical activity guidelines, and Estonia's national forests receive ~2.9 million visitors per year. Running apparel imports recorded a CAGR of just 0.77% from 2020–2024, with a sharp -24.1% decline in 2023–2024, signalling a post-pandemic demand correction. The broader European outdoor apparel market is forecast to grow at 4.3% CAGR through 2033, providing a tailwind for recovery."}}}
