Argos Beat Nike And Adidas To Top Sports & Outdoor Segment In UK
As businesses were forced to shut due to lockdowns caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, gymgoers around the world were forced to find alternatives ways to stay fit. Work-from-home conditions also resulted in less general exercise as citizens around the world were limited to the confines of their own homes for varying periods of time. As a result, e-commerce sales from the top 10 sports & outdoor online stores in the UK generated a total of $2.67B in 2020.
Argos’ online shop (argos.co.uk) lead among other Sports & outdoor retailers in e-commerce net sales in 2020 with $541M. This leading figure is more than $100M more than the e-commerce net sales generated by the next leading online store, sportsdirect.com which generated $423M.
Traditional sports brand giants Nike and Adidas also posted strong 2020s generating the third and fifth highest e-commerce net sales with $404M and $242M respectively.
