Our view

India’s per-capita consumption of footwear is far lower than that of countries like the United States, the United Kingdom, Japan, Germany, Brazil, and China. Rising disposable income and an increase in health-conscious people would drive this sector. As a result, it presents a tremendous growth opportunity given the under-penetration of the Indian S&A (sports and athleisure) market as a whole. Currently India is where China was in 2005, which has grown ~15x since then from ~US$3bn to US$48bn

Campus Activewear has a sound business model that allows the company to capitalise on the expanding Indian sports and athleisure footwear market. Campus Activewear has a broad and diverse product portfolio across the price spectrum as well as the largest market coverage focused on 85%+ of the S&A Footwear Market.

With a strong showing in Q1FY23 , delivery of above average returns since listing and technical charts indicating a further upward movement, Campus Activewear is one stock that investors can expect above average returns in the medium to long term.
