Abstract

The purposes of this study were to segment consumer groups by evaluative criteria and to find the differences among the groups in regard to sportswear benefits sought, domestic and imported brand attitudes, and sportswear image preferences. The subjects used for the study were 773 male and female consumers who were residents in Seoul. The data were analyzed by factor analysis, cluster analysis, t-test, and chi-square test. The results showed that there were two sportswear segments : brand/design-oriented group and function-oriented group. Statistical analyses showed that the two sportswear segments were different in regard to sportswear benefits sought, domestic and imported brands attitudes, sportswear image preferences, and demographics. Brand/design-oriented group sought the benefits of sex appeal/impression improvement, individuality, and conspicuousness, had a more favorable attitude toward imported brands, and preferred a prestigious image. They were relatively younger and had a higher income. In the meanwhile, function oriented group sought a comfort benefit from sportswear, had a more favorable attitude toward domestic brands, and preferred simple and active images. There were more high school graduates and home makers in function-oriented group. The implications of the study were discussed.

본 연구는 스포츠웨어 선택기준으로 스포츠웨어 시장을 세분화하고 세분화된 시장간 스포츠웨어 추구 혜택, 국내 및 해외 브랜드에 대한 태도, 스포츠웨어 선호이미지의 차이를 보고자 하였다. 자료수집은 서울에 거주하는 성인남녀를 대상으로 총 773부의 설문지를 통계분석에 사용하였다. 통계는 요인분석, 군집분석, t-test, 카이 검정을 사용하였으며, 자료분석 결과 스포츠웨어 시장은 브랜드/디자인, 기능성 중심의 두 세분시장으로 나누어졌으며 두 세분시장은 스포츠웨어 추구혜택, 국내 및 해외 브랜드에 대한 태도, 스포츠웨어 선호이미지에서 유의한 차이를 나타냈다. 브랜드/디자인을 중요한 선택기준으로 하는 세분시장은 스포츠웨어 추구혜택으로 이성어필/인상향상, 개성, 신분과시를 추구하며 해외 브랜드에 대해 긍정적인 태도를 나타냈고, 고급스러운 이미지의 스포츠웨어를 선호하였다. 반면 기능성을 중시하는 세분시장은 편안함을 추구하였고, 국내 브랜드에 긍정적인 태도를 보였으며, 단순하고 활동적인 이미지의 스포츠웨어를 선호하였다.
