As for Puma, the athletic-company’s business is booming. In Q2, Puma saw sales in the all-important American market shoot up 22.7% to 462.8 million euros ($512 million), success that has even challenged athletic front-runner Nike amid heightened competition with Adidas and retro labels like Champion and Fila.
However, Puma isn’t scoring the same level of multibillion-dollar sales as the athletic industry’s top players. In comparison, Puma’s 2018 sales were 4.6 million euros ($5.1 billion), Adidas’s were 19.9 billion euros ($22 billion) and Nike’s reached more than $30 billion.
