As a kind of active and passive entertainment, sports have gained popularity. Sportswear has seen an increase in consumer expenditure, with athleisure apparel and accessories accounting for a higher portion of the cost.

Rising Consumer Interests in Sports: The booming enthusiasm for country-level and international tournaments has been gaining tremendous followers worldwide and led to a large number of athlete admissions every year, which, therefore, propelled the demand of associated businesses, including sports equipment.

Design flaws and Quality issues: The production of sports equipment in Indonesia is a complex process that requires meticulous planning, as well as technical know-how to reduce lead and order times. Many companies underestimate this effort, and as a result, the mass-produced sports equipment ends up with design flaws, quality issues, or unnecessary product development costs. Moreover, complications commonly arise if clients have no local presence in Indonesia because they can’t physically assess the suppliers and make sure they follow the project timeframe. Thus, disrupted supply chains. Furthermore, quality issues in sports equipment can lead to accidents and injuries, therefore strict quality control is crucial in this industry and proper product testing is required to assess potential hazards.
