MMA.INC Launches Co-Branded Gear Platform with Zebra Athletics, Targets $1.5B Market
MMA.INC has partnered with Zebra Athletics to launch a co-branded gear, equipment and apparel revenue vertical across its TrainAlta programs, leveraging Zebra’s supply chain in a capital-efficient structure. The initial Oceania rollout taps into the $1.5 billion global MMA equipment market with plans for a broader global expansion.
1. Partnership Details
MMA.INC has formed a strategic alliance with Zebra Athletics to supply premium co-branded martial arts gear, equipment and apparel for its TrainAlta training programs. The agreement leverages Zebra’s 25-year manufacturing expertise to ensure high-performance products without capital-intensive manufacturing commitments for MMA.INC.
2. New Revenue Vertical
The collaboration establishes a new revenue stream tied directly to participant growth by monetizing gear and apparel sales within MMA.INC’s ecosystem. This capital-light approach allows the company to scale merchandise offerings across its network without inventory or production overhead.
3. Market Opportunity and Rollout
The global MMA equipment market is estimated at roughly $1.5 billion and growing alongside rising martial arts participation. MMA.INC will debut the platform in Oceania, where both organizations have strong operations, before rolling out across its 16-country footprint.
4. Strategic Implications
By expanding beyond digital platforms and academy infrastructure, MMA.INC strengthens its participation-driven revenue model and deepens engagement with 75,000+ active students and 800 verified gyms. This gear vertical enhances the training experience while diversifying the company’s monetization channels.
