ELBOW SLEEVES MARKET ANALYSIS

Market Challenges And Opportunities

Elbow Sleeves Market Drivers:

New developments in elbow sleeves designs and quality are projected to increase growth of the market. For instance, in September 2017, The Spud Inc. specifically designed elbow sleeves for weight lifters, made from a breathable nylon that does not stink as old neoprene sleeves. It can used by weightlifters and sportsmen, who are involved in rigorous exercises, to get easily recovered from elbow muscles injuries thus, boost growth of the elbow sleeves market.

Furthermore, in May 2018, Leatt developed new airflex armourgel elbow guard, which uses a molded padding made from an energy-absorbing material called armourgel padding, used by racers to protect their elbows from damage. Armourgel pads are soft to touch but become firmer on impact. When elbows struck ground, the pads would get firmer to resist the blow and prevent damage.

Elbow Sleeves Market Restraint

Stringent regulations and guidelines laid by healthcare agencies regarding the measures for elbow sleeves has led to the recall of several products by U.S. Food and Drug Administration (USFDA), which in turn is excpected to hamper growth of the elbow sleeves market. For instance, in April 2015, USFDA recalled Zimmer, Inc.’s tennis elbow support, Neoprene LATEX FREE, used to provide compression and warmth for mild to moderate elbow strains and sprains. USFDA discovered that the raw materials labeled as latex free by the company, contained latex, thus the product was revoked from the market.
