Report summary

Successive ISPO (International Trade Fair for Sports Equipment and Fashion) events continue to showcase forward-looking fabric innovations in sports and outdoor performance apparel and equipment. The most recent event, ISPO Munich 2024, which took place in Munich, Germany, during December 3-5, 2024, was no exception.

ISPO has three special showcases which help to signpost new developments, namely: the ISPO Award; ISPO Brandnew; and ISPO Textrends. Some of the most intriguing 2024 ISPO Award winning products incorporated: performance fabrics which exploit the properties of graphene aerogels; performance fabrics composed partly of polyester derived from waste carbon emissions; and materials derived from recycled airbags.

One dominant theme was the growing emphasis on bio-based or recycled content. This report highlights 13 of the most notable developments among more than 100 new products which received a 2024 ISPO Award, including those which are of the greatest relevance to performance apparel markets.
