COMPETITIVE LANDSCAPE
Nike leads through strong brand equity and flexible strategies

New entrants increase the fragmentation of the competitive landscape

These new entrants have exerted pressure on incumbent players, forcing established brands to innovate in design, sustainability or experiential retail to retain a competitive edge.
