Interest in women’s sports is growing. Here’s how some women-owned companies are responding

Women-owned brands like IDA Sports and Moolah Kicks create gear tailored for female athletes as women's sports revenue nears $2.35 billion in 2025, Deloitte reports.

  • Last year, women’s sports generated $1.88 billion and is forecast at $2.35 billion this year, with growing professionalism attracting new companies and brands, Deloitte reported.
  • IDA Sports founder Youngson said the company launched after noticing women wearing men’s cleats, highlighting a commercial gap in women athletes' footwear needs.
  • Partnering with leagues and unions, smaller women-led brands strike deals with players' unions for the NWSL while Adidas and Nike develop women’s soccer and basketball shoes.
  • NWSL teams are worth 29% more this year, with Angel City and Kansas City Current valued over $250 million, while WNBA attendance and star power surged, highlighted by Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese.
  • Amid growing interest, the 2017 match highlighting inequality signals a shift toward female-focused products and more opportunities for women-owned brands rejecting the `shrink it and pink it` approach.
