Company Report

Puma Lacks a Moat, but Is an Established Contender in the Expanding Global Sportswear Market

We view Puma as a leader in global sportswear but do not believe it has achieved a competitive advantage. Since 2014, Puma’s annual sales have risen to more than EUR 8 billion from EUR 3 billion as the company has expanded distribution, introduced new products, and stepped up its marketing. At approximately 2.6%, the brand had the fifth-largest share (by sales) of the fragmented but attractive $396 billion sportswear market in 2023, according to Euromonitor. However, wide-moat Nike and narrow-moat Adidas are the leaders by wide margins in most regions, and we do not expect Puma will gain significant share on either. Moreover, the company faces threats from fast-growing competitors like narrow-moat activewear firms Lululemon, Anta, and Li Ning.

Bulls Say, Bears Say

Bulls

Boosted by new products and marketing, Puma has increased its market share in key categories in Europe and North America over the past decade.

Bears

Puma is highly dependent on wholesale, which accounts for about 75% of its sales. Wholesale sales tend to bring lower margins than sales through full-price owned channels. Puma also risks losing share to competitors with larger owned e-commerce operations.
