Introduction

Cricket isn’t just a sport—it’s a global business. Over the past decade, cricket’s popularity has spread far beyond its traditional strongholds in India, England, and Australia. Nations like the UAE, USA, South Africa, Canada, and even parts of Europe are now investing heavily in cricket infrastructure, clubs, and player development.

This growing love for the game has led to a surge in global demand for cricket equipment—and Indian manufacturers are leading the charge. From world-class cricket bats to gloves, pads, and full kits, India is now one of the top exporters of cricket gear worldwide.

In this article, we’ll explore the latest global market trends for Indian cricket equipment, supported by current data and demand shifts. If you're a club owner, retailer, or sports organizer looking to import from India, Sporia Sports India is here to make your sourcing process easier and cost-effective.

Why Indian Cricket Equipment Stands Out

India is the heart of the global cricket economy. From traditional manufacturers in Jalandhar, Meerut, and Mumbai, to new-age brands offering customization and global shipping, the country has built a solid reputation for producing durable, high-performance gear.

Key Benefits of Sourcing from India:

• ✅ Affordable prices (significantly cheaper than UAE, UK, or Australia)

• ✅ High quality with international certifications (many are ICC-approved)

• ✅ Custom branding and private labeling available

• ✅ Bulk supply capacity for academies, retailers, and tournaments

• ✅ Diverse product range – from beginner kits to pro-level gear

Market Demand: Where Is Indian Cricket Equipment Headed?

🌍 Global Expansion of Cricket

Cricket is spreading rapidly across the globe. With the rise of T20 leagues, including the Major League Cricket (USA), T10 leagues in UAE, and grassroots academies in Africa, there is a huge and rising demand for affordable, reliable cricket gear.

According to IMARC Group, the global cricket equipment market was valued at USD 360 million in 2023 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 5.2% till 2028.

📦 India’s Role as an Exporter

India exported cricket equipment worth over INR 250 crore (~USD 30 million) in FY 2022–23, with key export markets including:

• UAE

• UK

• Australia

• South Africa

• USA

• Canada

• Sri Lanka

This number is expected to grow as more international academies and online sports retailers turn to India for cost-effective procurement.

Top Indian Cricket Exports

Here are some of the most in-demand cricket products being exported from India:

• 🏏 English Willow & Kashmir Willow Bats

• 🧤 Batting and Wicket-keeping Gloves

• 🦵 Leg Guards (Pads)

• 🛡️ Chest Guards, Thigh Pads, and Abdominal Guards

• 🎒 Cricket Kit Bags

• 👕 Cricket Clothing (Team Jerseys, Whites, Training Wear)

• 🧢 Caps, Helmets, and Accessories

• 🏟️ Coaching Aids and Ground Equipment

Trends Shaping the Future of Indian Cricket Equipment Exports

1. Private Labelling for International Brands

Many sports retailers and clubs in UAE, USA, and Africa now prefer private-labelled gear made in India. Indian manufacturers are offering fully branded kits customized with logos, names, and packaging.

2. Bulk Orders from International Academies

With the rise of overseas cricket academies, there is consistent demand for bulk kits for students, especially in UAE, Canada, and the USA. Indian suppliers are perfectly positioned to meet this need with quick turnaround times.

3. Online B2B Sourcing Growth

Platforms like IndiaMART and TradeIndia have opened up direct access to manufacturers, but having a reliable on-ground partner like Sporia Sports India ensures product quality, verification, and end-to-end logistics management.

4. Demand for Lightweight, Eco-friendly Materials

There’s a rising demand for lightweight kits, especially for junior players and women’s cricket, along with a move toward eco-conscious gear such as sustainable packaging and vegan materials.
