Ice skating and speed skating are popular sports in Canada, one of the leading countries in the global ice skating equipment market. As of 2015, speed skating stood as one of Canada's most successful sports in the Winter Olympics. Since the 1932 Winter Olympics, the country has won 33 speed skating medals.The ice skating equipment market is dominated by key players such as Cougar and Rollerblade, which have established brand presence in the market. The competition among these companies and among their established brands, the easy availability of products at different points of sale, and the strong product portfolio of the established brands significantly reduce the possibility of new vendors entering the market.While the West continues to dominate the global ice skating equipment market,

growth in Asian markets such as Cambodia, Vietnam, and Singapore is expected to provide greater opportunities to vendors in the ice skating equipment market.
