Posted by Steve Stark on December 7th, 2022

According to the new market research report "Sports Technology Market by Technology (Devices, Smart Stadiums, Sports Analytics, Esports), by Sport (Soccer, Baseball, Basketball, Ice Hockey, Rugby, Tennis, Cricket), End User (Sports Associations, Clubs, Leagues) and Region - Global Forecast to 2027" The sports technology market is estimated to grow from USD 21.9 billion in 2022 to reach USD 41.8 billion by 2027; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 13.8% from 2022 to 2027. The growth of the sports technology market can be attributed to increasing focus on delighting and engaging fans at stadiums, growing pressure to improve player and team performance, and surging adoption of esports technology.

The sports technology market for devices is expected to hold largest share in 2023.

The high market share is expected to be driven by the increasing adoption of smartwatches and smart wristbands for tracking the performance of athletes. The sale of smartwatches continued at a higher rate through online retail channels, as many consumers have been using smartwatches to monitor their health and fitness during the lockdown, leading to higher adoption in sports as well. For instance, in July 2022, Garmin launched the world’s first dedicated GPS-running smartwatch with solar charging, the Forerunner 955 Solar, with up to 49 hours of battery life in GPS mode.

The sports technology market for sports athletes is expected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period.

Advancement in sports technology is booming as teams are becoming more concerned about athlete performance and health. Athlete performance technologies, such as wearable devices and sensors, are being used to optimize training, game-day decision-making, and recovery. Companies such as NormaTec, Rapid Reboot, and Air Relax are offering pneumatic recovery units to help athletes enhance blood flow and circulation, improving recovery after a hard workout or big game.

The sports technology market in North America is expected to hold the largest size during the forecast period.
