Hardgoods and Skate Equipment
Globe holds a top-three global market share in hardgoods, with 2024 hardgoods revenue of US$72M, driven by high-performance skateboards, decks, and precision trucks engineered for durability and pro-level control.
Products target pros and recreational skaters, with average price per board US$120 and a 24% gross margin on hardgoods in FY2024, supporting R&D into advanced materials.
By end-2025 Globe will scale sustainable resin use to 40% of production, aiming to extend board lifespan 15% while cutting cradle-to-gate CO2 per board by 22%.
Technical Action Sports Footwear
Globe International’s Technical Action Sports Footwear delivers impact-resistant soles, reinforced uppers, and ergonomic board-feel designs aimed at skateboarders and surfers; the line accounted for 37% of Globe’s FY2024 footwear revenue of AUD 68.2m (reported Mar 2025). The range is refreshed seasonally to track streetwear trends while keeping core safety specs, supporting a 6.8% YoY footwear sales growth in 2024. R&D focuses on abrasion-resistant compounds and lightweight EVA blends to cut weight by ~12% versus 2019 models.
