Nike to Cut Over 1,600 Jobs Amid Economic Challenges and Market Shifts

Nike has announced a workforce reduction by approximately 2%, equating to over 1,600 positions, to optimize operations and address financial challenges stemming from declining consumer interest in high-end sportswear.

The decrease in demand is attributed to rising rental and interest costs, leading consumers to reduce spending on premium products. Consequently, retailers are revising orders from leading sportswear manufacturers, affecting Nike and Adidas.

To counter these market dynamics, Nike has initiated a $2 billion savings plan to be implemented over the coming three years. The plan includes reducing the availability of certain products and streamlining management structures.

The anticipated severance costs related to the job cuts are projected to be between $400 million and $450 million in the third quarter. As of the end of May 2023, Nike reported having approximately 83,700 employees.

Nike said it will cut about 2% of its total workforce, or more than 1,600 jobs, as the sportswear giant looks to cut costs after flagging weaker profits this year https://t.co/mqsiGIUhZW

Neil Saunders, Managing Director of GlobalData, views Nike’s strategy as a preemptive effort to prepare for possible further dips in consumer demand.

Additionally, Nike is experiencing increased competition from newer brands such as Decker Outdoors’ Hoka and On Holding. These competitors have gained market share through distinctive and innovative product designs, impacting Nike’s retail presence.

Saunders also noted that Nike intends to increase its investment in certain areas, such as running, to expand its market share. This necessitates financial reallocations to support new investments.

The Wall Street Journal, which first reported this news, mentioned that the layoffs are expected to begin shortly, with a second round to be completed by the end of the current fiscal quarter. The reduction will mainly affect corporate roles, leaving store and distribution centre employees and innovation team members unaffected.

Following this announcement, Nike’s shares saw a modest decline of about 1% in pre-market trading.
